The European Divide trail: 7800km from Norway to Portugal

Published 2023-04-23
Relive my adventures as I try to set the FKT on the 7800km bikepacking route that is the European Divide trail. Maciek Tomiczek has done a wonderful job stitching together my sporadic gopro footage with a couple of flying visits from local filmakers into an incredible bit of art so sit back and enjoy the ride.

With thanks to all my supporters.

    Should've gone for a run afterwards, to make the world's longest triathlon.
  • @irlgriff
    Fantastic..... Although I could have watched this for hours. 20 minutes is just not long enough! Well done...
  • @johne1956
    Can't add anything more. Incredible achievement. I was crew chief to a solo RAAM ride so I have seen how tough it is to ride 16-20 hour days fully supported for a week, so to do it solo for a month is mindblowing. The video too is incredibly well edited to capture the essence of this month long epic in 20 minutes...bravo!
  • you are an inspiration brother, I've been living in the forest in Australia for the past few months, biking everyday to University and back (it's around a 50km - 80km round trip depending on where i am camped for the night) in an effort to 'train' myself for an epic endurance ride in Europe! I hope to one day achieve something even mildly as astonishing as your absolutely legendary achievement. Thanks for sharing brother! i wish you all the best in life! <3!
  • Angus, you ROCK! You've inspired me to look at this route as my next big (but MUCH slower than yours) biking adventure. Last one was Nordkapp to Sicily with my little dog. Now that my best friend has crossed the rainbow bridge, I would like to get into gravel even though I'm approaching 60yo. Really great film - thanks very much for sharing your achievement, and most of all, congratulations!!!
  • What a superb achievement. Superb film with fantastic narration. I bet the kids you teach will me amazed and motivated by a person like you,
  • @ElricAzarai
    WOW! Amazing film and incredible performance! I had to do the math and it's an average of 244km a day... That is insane!
  • @wetl2628
    Yes! Life is not a race, but for those who want to race, race! Great achievement!
  • @leo5verling334
    Angus,great ride💪. "Its a long way from the top(of Norway) if you wanna go Portugal" 🎶🎸
  • @manfredbader3528
    Did it by myself what means I exactly know what's goin on out there....! This is an unbelievable effort Angus! Congrats and my hat goes to the ground.....!
  • Congratulations on this incredible accomplishment! When I rode the EDT a little later in the year, seeing you complete it in such a short time while I was still in the early stages was a huge inspiration, but it also felt surreal. I know firsthand how difficult it is, so hats off to you!
  • @VincentForDesign
    I know you! You are the winner of the Pan Celtic Race 2021! Incredible performance! And gosh! 7,800 in a month is another crazy achievement!
  • @NickSmith-hv9zi
    One of the best video online. Absolutely incredible. Kudos brother. You are for sure an inspiration.
  • incredible accomplishment!! the hard parts of pain and ever returning thoughts followed by moments of tailwind, fast gravel, hidden energy depots in your body, suddenly you are flying again. you have to have been there. you went down that rabbit hole deeper than many others. great effort of the body and the mind!
  • This video shows how simple something that mind-blowing can be. It seems like a surreal trip, but it's just a long bike ride. Gives me hope and affirmation that I could do something likewise. Thanks for this inspiring video, and congratulations with this great achievement!
  • Unbelievable, what an achievement! Physically, but more than that, mentally. Congratulations Angus.
