[@aloupaavelo]

Magnifique!! Autant l'exploit de Thomas que le film - BRAVO, je suis épatée!!

[@Ryanlegarrec]

Merci!

[@davidtdeiman2534]

I think it’s very touching how his father is his only support.

[@patriciasantiago2341]

I found myself crying and rooting for you. I loved how supportive and proud your father was. Many respects to you! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@BenRipleyPhoto]

Fantastic. Bravo Thomas and great film Ryan 🙌

[@Ryanlegarrec]

Thanks Ben!

[@simonmerriman1190]

A fantastic achievement of endurance. The relationship between father and son is beautiful. Congratulations.

[@pbouterin]

Impressionnant, captivant, émouvant. Merci Thomas d’avoir partagé cet exploit. Merci à tous les trois d’avoir réalisé ce magnifique film. Merci pour ces 30 minutes de bonheur absolu. Je souhaite que vous partagiez vos futures aventures…Moi je me refait un visionnage, c’était trop bon….😍. 😘

[@87Kaylen]

The soul of cycling indeed. I am weak, if my old man was still around and I told him I was going to do this massive trek, he would have done the same as your Pops. It was a struggle, a fight, but you did it and your Father was proud in a way that he could at least hug you in the end. I'll make my future runs now, because I know my Old Man would have done the same for me. Revel in that moment. Your strength is unapparelled and your support group was equally strong. Thank you for giving me the frame work for my "lost" story. Single Speeds Forever.

[@jackcarter233]

Wonderful. And I love my Kona Unit too.

[@alizee3260]

Magnifique ! Bravo ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@customerisalwaysrigh]

The sound track and editing created such a cool atmosphere. Congratulations Thomas and thanks for the great video!

[@GeoffWilliams]

unexpectedly crying along with Thomas and his father at the end, perhaps because I wish at some point my father could have been along for one of my adventures and to be there at the end like that, say words like that, but he is gone. this is a fabulous documentation of the journey, singlespeed FTW... Really amazing, the ride, the everything, magnifique

[@regiscolombel7651]

Bravo! Quel ride, belle performance, bel exploit, beau film émouvant et encore une fois félicitations à tous les protagonistes.

[@Ryanlegarrec]

MERCI!

[@michaelbudler7369]

Well done! Very inspiring!!! Beautiful film🙏

[@guillaumedavin9955]

Magnifique film, magnifique univers, magnifique performance. On se laisse immerger dans un univers à la fois réel et poétique pour rouler avec les 2 acteurs. Bravo!

[@Ryanlegarrec]

Merci Guillaume!

Bravo Thomas! I truly enjoyed this video.

[@redbaronbangkok1567]

ยินดีด้วย นั่นมันคือความฝันของใครหลายๆคนที่ปั่นและรักจักรยานจากใจ ขอบคุณสำหรับการสร้างแรงบันดาลใจ

Amazing feat and well done! Great to see the support and love from your dad and accompanying rider

Awesome 👍😎

[@mattiasboman7409]

Damn! Great cinematics. And, not least, very impressive accomplishment 👏

[@taklopcic]

I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING. That was incredible. More of this in the world. Bravo.

[@manfrednt]

Zrobienie filmu w takiej konwencji jest moim marzeniem. Nie chodzi abym jeździł w terenie tylko taki klimat. Choć zdaję sobie sprawę że właśnie klimat robi teren. Niesamowita praca kamerą strasznie mi się podoba. Do tego kolorystyka to jest światowy poziom. Cieszę się że mogłem to obejrzeć.

[@yanndufeil5742]

Belle vidéo, beau challenge, bel effort, belle France. J'ai le même vélo mais je ne pense pas être capable de faire cette traversée. Merci !

[@falk3522]

Very inspiring and what a heart warming finish! Bien joué!

[@Shooterthecat1]

Excellent effort!!!

[@Stalkerfiveo]

20:50 these moments are when you find your true self. In the darkness of suffering. Mentally, physically and emotionally battered. When you can push through, the feeling on the other side of the tears is indescribable. 💪

[@philippegasse1593]

Bravo, beau parcours, si tu as la trace GPS on est preneur. Nous avons traversé les Alpes l'Ardeche et le Tour du Vercors, le tout à VTT , mais la Chapeau !

[@jerrylaz1606]

Bravissimo complimenti!

[@JeremyLawrence-imajez]

Beautifully shot, scored and edited film. Oh and a truly epic ride too.

[@adamdominis7476]

This hit a home run for me, amazing effort and loved watching it. Congratulations Thomas, what a heartfelt experience.

[@blucodilla5036]

Damn! reaching the location with less sleep was so hard, and yet he made in just 6 days. So proud of this man! ❤❤❤

[@LeeTaylor-em8wy]

Thank you Cory for bringing us along for your trip in the film, in todays society of the 9-5 this is very uplifting to see and good for you for taking the plunge. Keep riding x

[@totosupertramp]

this isn't Cory ! hahah it is me

[@varragoastu]

Impressive. I love the style. Also no useless talk needed.

[@Ryanlegarrec]

Right on!

[@miguela.migallon8405]

Wow amazing and inspiring film... I was wondering... What gear did he use in this adventure? Thanks!!!

[@totosupertramp]

I used a 32x20 !

[@sterlingmorris5827]

definition of Rule #5...much respect!

[@pierrea2353]

Thank you so much for this piece of art. Inspiring!

[@konabikes3353]

Glad you like it!

[@myfrequencies1912]

Ah yes, it all starts making sense at around 6:10 when the dad tells us his son was a bike messenger in paris. That explains the (insane) choice of a fixed gear bike & the size of the guy's leg muscles. I live in Avallon & i've ridden sections of this route. I reckon even this guy was walking/carrying a fair bit. Respect!

[@flaviuwolf577]

Respect ❤

[@meredithbiberstein4481]

Epic!

[@rofl4068]

Très beau film et sacré exploit félicitations à vous deux. C'est quoi par curiosité ton set up roues et pneus ?

Wow, what a ride ! Kudos Thomas. @ Ryan, great editing job. Maybe adding distances in miles and elevation in feet for our non metric friends 😉

[@barryconway]

Bravo!

Merci d'offrir ce moment Les larmes me montent un peu trop souvent..... Mais une question me taraude : Flat Bar or not to be ? That is the question

[@originalspeculoos1081]

Quelle gifle ! Bravo champion ! Les images et le montage sont complètement dingues. Je ne pensais pas avoir les larmes aux yeux à la fin 😅

[@Cookboy3857]

Hi Lodi nice take care

[@theriver8524]

Any idea what gear ratios he chose?

[@Rafael-vu2xn]

I mean if it doesn't make you cry like a baby I think you are not even trying hard enough

[@balkanbrot]

i test rode this bike today. the gear is fuckin bananas! i pedaled my ass of and barely moved... mega acceleration but veeeery slow top speed. i dont know if he changed something about the sprocket size, otherwise this is even crazier haha

[@LowCarbFrenchie]

What an outstanding physical performance and the film is amazing, really. But, please, just, dont talk about "full autonomy" when you have your family and friends following you in a van (even if they dont give you water and kit kat 🙃)

[@Ryanlegarrec]

Define autonomy…

[@jimmit77]

@@Ryanlegarrec many bikepacking events define it as only accessing supplies from stores that exist along the route.

[@totosupertramp]

​@@jimmit77 which I did ! carrying all my gears and stuff, and purchasing supplies only trought accessible to all stores. But I do understand this topic can be subject to controversy. I'm fine with that ! Thanks for watching :)

[@Ryanlegarrec]

​@@jimmit77 which was the case... all the way. also still in that autonomy spec: fixed his own mechanicals, bought his own supplies when needed, managed his lodging and whatnot on his own.

[@David-sx2dm]

Olivier, i think that you have mistaken full autonomy with riding solo .. Bon boulot les gars 👍

[@metalprophetPerkins]

I wonder what ratio he used

32x20

can someone tell me what the girl say to her dog?

[@Ryanlegarrec]

Ha ha yeah I can! But you don’t wanna know 😂

[@Lepercurtidoo]

Nice quality video but honestly.. what's the point ?! Saying "sleep is overrated" is not only stupid but downright dangerous. And biking long distance on top of that, what can possibly go wrong ?! Besides, he did sleep a bit of course so this ride was definitely not done " in one go" If this is the philosophy of Kona, i would never want one.
