In this 80 minutes video, I reveal the greatest bicycle trip of my life: coast to coast from Washington DC to Eugene, Oregon. A journey that lasted 80 days, touching 15 different states, four time zones, several climates, environments and mountain passes, for a total of over 6000 km (3757 miles), of which 1151 km were of gravel (the 19%)!
A very big and brave step - this journey is 10 times longer than my longest bike tour so far! Not being an athlete, with no real preparation and in a foreign country, I was never sure of making it, until the last day: this uncertainty enhanced the taste for the unknown and the thrill of discovery.
Something so vast, in terms of distance and time, escapes control and predictions, making it an adventure to be calibrated and faced day after day, always moving forward. As many obstacles and problems as fun, surprise and joy.
Follow my journey, watch the video till the end, a true crescendo across the United States 80 days long, to discover the magic of a solo and self contained tour. (Note: no sponsors or third parties involved in the trip and in the making of this video)
