Cape Epic 2020 - EF Gone Racing

[@Tom-mb7cf]

The EF alternative calender is hands down the most inspiring thing in professional cycling. I bloody love it!

[@raphafilms]

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the KZbin Premiere of a slightly different episode of EF Gone Racing. Lachlan Morton and Alex Howes were along for the viewing and answered questions throughout; scroll through the chat replay or check out the comments below for some BTS from both.

[@fenderperry]

Rapha Films these videos are awesome.

[@Jeff.Slavich]

This series is fantastic. Getting the behind the scenes with Lach & Alex and hearing how they've learned to understand and appreciate what the average cyclist goes through and is looking to achieve is awesome. Perspective!

[@EricB03]

Love Rapha cycling gear and first time seeing your channel. Looking forward to seeing more of these and past ones.

[@timlages1257]

Would love to see canyon sram getting an alternative calendar too! Right, now where's my bike? Gotta go ride.

[@mischifer1]

That last bit with Alex and Lach describing how things have changed for them after doing the other events, I didn't want that to end. This video was fantastic

[@Mrmapple8]

I love the gone racing series, because that’s exactly how I define cycling. I’m so thankful to everyone behind this! Ride on Lach and Alex 🤙

[@ArtOConnor]

These films are so great. Alex and Lach are such amazing athletes, but even more amazing humans.

[@sometimerving6849]

I just binge watched all of the Alternate races with Lachlan and Alex, and the GBDuro and some others with the EF guys. So great to see, inspirational, the realness of the guys is so nice to see. I doubt other World Tour riders would open up their lives like this. Perhaps I will get to shake your hands one day and say "Thank you".

[@twyfordlion]

The riders and team on EF are true cyclists and fans if the sport. Bravo everyone.

[@jonnysteel3595]

This is the best thing to watch in cycling,the guys are both entertaining and humble.

[@danielmontgomery7948]

Thanks for having the courage to try the different path; for your candor and humility in sharing your experiences with all of us. You are outstanding ambassadors for cycling - and much more.

[@1badcrossfitter]

I could listen to these guys talk bikes all day. The love they have for this sport is so genuine and pure. Hands down one of my favorite series

[@JonathanLee7]

Alex and Lachlan are fantastic examples in the Pro Peloton. Love cheering for these guys 👍

[@shaynecompton1602]

I love listening to these two talk about what they do and their life. Keep it coming.

[@brettpark1801]

Hope this part of the sport grows. And grows. And grows. Great narrative and fun to watch. Keep them coming please.

[@alexhowes6192]

Chat with y'all soon!

[@lachlanmorton8300]

Hello

[@StPatrickUkraine]

Can't wait!

[@rottstegge]

@@lachlanmorton8300 Heya! Just rewatched the gbduro video. What music are you listening to on long rides these days?

[@moses_irl]

Hope you guys and the EF team are staying safe and dipping your toes into the real world together. You're all a massive inspiration, keep it up!

[@ET-Rex]

Both of you are an inspiration and so enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!

[@mattyb678]

I absolutely love the alternative calendar that EF does. Such a breath of fresh air. Bummed that this event got cancelled, but just gives me more time to re-watch the past episodes even more! I'll watch any content that has Lachlan and/or Alex in it! They are just such down to earth and genuine people. I hope that after this is all over the boys are able to get back after it at some awesome alt events!

[@flippinchoons]

Nothing but love and respect for y'all, you've given so much too cycling...an inspiration too all.

[@martinturner2730]

So sick! It’s got that ‘I WANT TO GO RIDE’ thing, that’s so hard to do. Well played everyone involved and well played to everyone for realising this is beyond cycling. Keep safe people. Much love

[@WildMeff]

Mountain biking is frickin' sweet so is the EF Alternative Race series

[@slapfan1]

I love the alternative calendar, I would love to see more teams participating in alternative events.

[@MrStjn]

Got so much love for Rapha and the EF boys. Chapeau 🚲🚲🚲

[@NewGenAV]

Thank you Lachlan and Alex as well as the EF and Rapha crew for this series! Stay safe please continue this great effort and content

[@lukeboelitz]

You guys are making the best sports content period. Such a strong and specific voice.

[@johnpayne2465]

A year on and the world hasn't really worked this situation out. Thanks for making the video, I respect your efforts and motivations.

[@thelmaviaduct]

Love watching these vids, honesty of the riders makes it worth watching. Thanks.

[@mattdelcomyn8012]

Great candid reflections by a couple of really cool and courageous guys. Thanks Lachlan, Alex and Rapha!

[@OakFlooringDirectCoUk]

Love the alternative coverage

[@alanp8724]

effin loves the EF films esp with lach and howes!!! hopefully EF can conjure up some other cycling entertainment amidst this pandemic !!!!!

[@sureshchinnappa2290]

Loved this. I love riding and you guys are brilliant. Congratulations gentlemen!

[@leedowling9169]

Great videos. To see and hear the love and respect you all have for the joy of riding is fantastic. Keep safe all

[@MiloPurvis]

That outro song and footage is so awesome... kudos to Builder's Tea! Really want that song!

[@dandawson8128]

Milo Purvis - ah, it’s mesmerizing!

[@augustschilling6486]

Mr Morton, no one will ever be sick of hearing you talk about this s&*t. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@thetalkingfly]

I am glad you made this video. Thank you- Stay safe. Cheers, TTF

[@jddallager1699]

Such great candor and insight from two elite athletes! Stay safe and healthy......can't wait to see everyone back post-Corona virus w/even greater perspectives on cycling and life.

[@tgoods5049]

These guys have amazing perspective

[@zacharysmiles1308]

Fresh perspective....loved it fellas! Thanks!

[@AndrewMSmalley]

Absolutely love these videos. Great to see thoughtful, beautifully shot videos from a really human perspective. Well done.

[@TimFitzwater]

This hits in two ways - so glad to see another great video - but makes me so bummed it will be so long until the next. Stay healthy everyone!

[@GordonChaffin]

Thanks to everyone involved with this team, the alternative calendar, and of course -- Lachlan, Alex, and the others.

[@alananderson5202]

Best of luck to you guys. I hope to see you back soon.

[@mikedouglass6142]

These 2 inspire me to ride!

[@mfennell70]

Despite the outcome - Day. Made. Thank you EF and Raffa!

[@hoterichoney344]

The editing, music, and quality of footage has gone from "good KZbin" to near short movie awesomeness. Lach and Alex kick ass on and off their Cdales, and I look forward to the next Rapha film.

[@alexhowes6192]

Our film/edit crew is second to none.

[@xBobby]

Great videos loved them all guys

[@kazimirsmith]

this was great. hope there's a part 2 from next year when you actually get to do the race.

[@austinpowers1044]

So AWESOME!!!!!!!! Please more!!!!!!

[@hectorcortes1980]

Great inspirational videos top job guys

[@dianalundvandvrk1959]

Great video. Was looking forward to EF doing the epic. Did my first Epic in 2010 and after seeing you plans to race, I was so excited to see it from your perspective. Do it next year - there is a Good reason why the race is called “Epic”

[@glenmellor331]

My favourite video ever about a race that didn't happen.

[@badhorse84]

best series on the internet!!

[@richardyoung5201]

I’ve got the fear and EF water bottle ready for the next adventure 👊🏻

[@scottsievers344]

Love these guys, this team, and this series!

[@richardsteele-gray7473]

Please come back, was so looking forward to watching you guys ride 🤞

[@gamby16a]

Phenomenal as usual. Very interesting that Alex and Lachlan weren't too broken up about the cancellation. I guess when it's a job it's easier to detach from it? Looking forward to the salvaging of the alt calendar. I'll be here to watch.

[@alexhowes6192]

Don't worry. We're exceptionally sad.

[@gamby16a]

@@alexhowes6192 I'm sorry to hear it, man. I'll eagerly await the restart of your shenanigans. Best wishes.

[@rswc55]

These are just simply brilliant and beautiful and inspiring and...and...and...

[@Strenki-real]

I hope EF guys will try next time on Cape Epic, is really TdF or MTB marathon stage racing :) Love your videos!

[@aaroncupp4498]

I love these videos! Keep it up!

[@Laucycle]

I love your videos, they're amazing!

[@billincolumbia]

Interesting watching these guys look ahead to retirement at a young age. Our job, if we have jobs we enjoy, is so much of us. When you leave that, what do you do? And you see it in the eyes of these guys who are at the end, and you hope that they don't end up on drugs or doing something self-destructive. They both have so much energy and so much left to give that you hope they find an outlet for it.

[@alexhowes6192]

The world is large and life is an adventure.

[@billincolumbia]

@@alexhowes6192 All the best to you, Alex. I hope you continue to take us along for the ride.

[@TysRides]

Pretty cool EF is doing these alternative races. Be interesting to see where gravel is at in the next few years.

[@Tre7we88]

Love this and the prototype Scalpel! #Bonus

[@niklashbg]

This is great stuff, and you didn’t even get to race. Says a lot of you ask me! Keep it up 🤙🏼

[@wesrobmat]

Sorry, you guys missed the Epic but hopefully, you guys can get more time on your MTB's and come back next year. Dankie en vasbyt!

[@benlent3254]

Miss you guys.

[@monrezee]

Y'all know Lachlan Morton is Bad Ass.

[@Miekzz]

12:02 you are in Nederland? Wow, there actually is a place called Nederland somewhere outside of Nederland. Wild.

[@jackgavin7428]

These are so good.

[@Andy_ATB]

Been looking forward to this - hopefully, it can happen next year!

[@richardsmith4625]

Loving these films Have you guys thought of doing BCBR ? It would be amazing to see you compete there

[@brian1971berry]

Wish I could give this video more than 1 Like!

[@mattripley1773]

I love these guys 🤙🏼

Too bad you did not come to 2019 Taiwan kom. I was waiting for you. 😔

[@MaGrath_Gibbons]

PLEASE MAKE MORE MOUNTAIN BIKE videos

[@jacksonbressor9298]

Can anyone tell me what model of new balances Lachlan is wearing at 7:10? Huge fan of the team / this series, but also want to get a pair of those shoes

[@alastairwood7277]

Lachlan makes this series would be incredible without him. But he elevates it to another level essentially become his life story.

[@beezneezs]

where are the music credits?

[@bear5197]

3rd time watching this one

[@justinstepchuk111]

What’s the song at 1:23?

[@yumyumhungry]

A bummer that this virus affects us all, but we'll be back! Just hold tight and stay safe for now.

[@johndorney7812]

Damn this virus. We will ride again. Some day.

[@alexhowes6192]

YES

[@jackmccauley9086]

Does anyone know what pack they are using? I thought it was a camelbak chase vest at first but it is different.

[@KerenWang]

What's the song called from the beginning?

[@brauljo]

1:21 What are those hydration packs called?

[@graciejohn2]

I have the same question. Anybody know?

[@peler87]

What water vest are you wearing?

[@mtblover]

So how lucky or unlucky you are not to have raced the Cape Epic? Will you be back next year? This would have been the toughest year in my opinion due to all the singletrack.

[@alexhowes6192]

We'll be back
