The Long Way Around - A Film by Chris Burkard
Wahoo partnered with acclaimed photographer and director Chris Burkard to tell the story of four friends (Lael Wilcox, Rugile Kaladyte, Erik Nohlin and Chris) whose plans to explore the American west by bike were thwarted due to wildfires. With some last-minute changes, they took off to experience a ride (with 30+ miles of hike-a-bike) that would explore the intersection between humans and nature.
What we have here isn’t your typical bike trip. Four close friends ventured in the great woods of the American west to experience the land via bike. Their original plans thwarted due to the devastation of wildfires that seemly strike the west more and more each year. With some last-minute rearranging of the route and a nod that it was safe, the ride was on! They took off to experience a ride and hike that some might call, downright insanity.
