Deep Dive
Pursuing Mountains: Bikepacking Journeys Beyond the Comfort Zone
Main focus
Pursuing Mountains follows self-supported cycling journeys and outdoor travel, from long-distance bikepacking routes to regional adventures in Europe, Great Britain, Idaho, and Utah. Liz and Alex pair expedition storytelling with practical observations on the preparation and decisions behind life on the road.
Why it matters
Preparing for a multi-day ride or simply weighing the realities of bikepacking, viewers can find firsthand perspectives on packing, food, training, touring, and route life. The mix of concise tips and longer journey films gives both immediate ideas and a fuller sense of expedition travel.
Style
Full-length expedition films sit alongside shorter, focused clips that address touring lessons and equipment choices. The tone is personal and encouraging, built around learning through ambitious trips rather than presenting outdoor travel as effortless.
Consistency
Recent programming balances practical short-form guidance with substantial expedition narratives, including a London-to-Istanbul journey. The range stays centered on cycling travel and the preparation that supports it.
