Transcontinental Race: London – Istanbul

So many basic truths about long hard endevors.

So many basic truths about life.

Thank You.

Not exactly "the power and glory of bike racing".
Stopping at the Muur was a pretty cool idea, though.

Now that's a travel documentary ! What an adventure … now I want to start riding more…

This is a very different documentary and I love the way how they focus on the emotions of the riders, how they focus on the hardships endured and the way the two riders changed mentally. Even the visual approach is stunning. I think episode 2 is best when they both go through the very lowest point of their race.

Even I am thinking of bike racing now….
