Patrick Seabase nous en avait mis plein les mirettes cet été armé à bloc sur son fixie pour affronter le au combien difficile col du Stelvio (2758 m). Cette fois-ci on assiste à ses débuts dans le col du Simplon, sa première ascension en fixie et c’était en novembre 2009. Encore une fois de très belles images.

It’s about 2 guys who decided last summer to go on a journey from South (Florida Keys) to North (Alaska) of the United States with a bike, loads of energy and a big thirst for adventure. 6000 miles (9656km!) in 89 days, all very well described on their blog and because what they came across is certainly a pleasure for the eyes, they made a movie. Here is the trailer.

Dans moins de 2 semaines démarrera la course rétro cyclisme L’Eroica sponsorisée par notre bien aimée marque Franchouillarde Le coq Sportif. Comment ne pas résister quand on voit ce qui nous attend : des petits chemins perdus dans les collines bordées de cyprès, une caravane du Coq flamboyante, un ravitaillement de pancetta, jambon de parme et tutti quanti sans oublier un ptit coup de Chianti, bref une belle escapade qui nous replongera dans les souvenirs de vacances!
Ca se passe donc en Toscane, du 1er au 3 octobre 2010. Plus d’info par ici.

Remember the Critical Dirt teaser seen on the blogosphere over the summer? Well it looks like the Ertzui boys are finally done with their documentary Critical Dirt – A Study in Crossification. The plot has nothing of extraordinary, it is about a cyclocross event in Germany with 80 riders embarked on a race for 126km and 9 hours. Of course I would not talk about this film if I did not have a soft spot for their work. Although cyclocross is not the most vibrant subject for a film, the way they put their experience, mind, passion and energy in this documentary is strikingly delightful. After watching this 26 min. cyclocross journey, I just remembered that there is nothing better than a bike gathering and some cold beer! Keep on the good work Ertzui Film.

It is about two friends on bikes, towing surfboard along the west coast of France during 6 weeks. The duo of the photographer George Foulds and the writer James Bowden documented their French wandering with creative writings, a few spooky illustrations and some moody ‘Low-fi’ photography. The outcome of this expedition is summed up in a 20 pages newspaper that just makes me feel like I am having a ‘jambon-beurre’ (the typical French hoagie) on a rainy day in Cap Ferret… damn I’ve just missed my metro stop.
