Pan Celtic Race 2021 ~The Film~

- On July 4th 2021, after the postponement of our 2020 race, riders from all over the UK set off from Maker Heights in Cornwall to embark on a much needed and long awaited adventure through Celtic nations and parts of South-West England steeped in Celtic tradition. The typically brutal weather paired with a challenging route would test even the strongest wills, as both mental strength and physical endurance would be pushed to the limit. Friendships would once again be forged within this fire and strangers, rivals and clan folk alike would enjoy an experience they will never forget. This is their story
Directed, filmed and edited by Friction Collective

Jenny is just a delight. So much joy. And the grandfather was also a real inspiration
Yep! Both amazing people, along with all our other riders
This is so good I'm sure there are 4 year old kids on tricycles all over the world glued to the screen watching this!
video is way better than giros broadcasting. :D
The introduction about nice people is so true, and you will be surprised how far you can go
3:30am on a Sunday night / Monday morning I feel alive again.
Thank you so much for this documenatry!
love the opening. We are so blessed and the narrative in this world is so negative. Onward.......
Anyone from Leicester deserves a shout-out...even grandads.
Ey up me duck....🚲🚲🚲
That was grand.
Haven’t stopped thinking about this race since seeing this film, it has gripped me and won’t let go, entries open soon and I’m taking time out of my shift tonight to get myself a spot on 2022 edition.
I want to ride,
I want to explore,
I want stories to tell
I want to be part of the Clan
stop thinking start riding :)))
What an incredible athletic performance by all involved. An I must say Friction Collective did a fantastic job portraying this incredible adventure in it's purest form. For 46 minutes I felt truly immersed. Bravo all.
Thanks Vince, that's so good to hear.
It was an incredibly race to take part in. So much so I’m back for more this year😀
@@FrictionCollective Yup! Great work squashing the insane amount of footage you must have had.
I mean really...THIS is reality TV! I'd so tune in to watch a 10 part more immersive series on the race. Great job! Love Pan* races!
Thanks @@out_spocken It was actually a consideration of ours to make this into a mini series, perhaps we should look at this again with the next race. So pleased you enjoyed it.
@@FrictionCollective If only a mainstream tv or netflix/amazon style platform would use this. Cheap, so much natural drama, interesting people with interesting backgrounds and motivations.
And you guys know what you're doing with narratives.
Fingers crossed. Plenty of dot watchers out there that live vicariously through these participants.
All the best with next year!!!
Beautiful film. Best I’ve seen in a long time.
Those first few words are on the dot.
"I've been sitting here now, and do you know what I was saying to myself? If I did not believe in life, if I were to lose faith in the woman I love, if I were to lose faith in the order of things, even if I were to become convinced, on the contrary, that everything is a disorderly, damned, and perhaps devilish chaos, if I were struck even by all the horrors of human disillusionment-still I would want to live, and as long as I have bent to this cup, I will not tear myself from it until I've drunk it all.
However, by the age of thirty, I will probably drop the cup, even if I haven't emptied it, and walk away...I don't know where. But until my thirtieth year, I know this for certain, my youth will overcome everything-all disillusionment, all aversion to live. I've asked myself many times: is there such despair in the world as could overcome this wild and perhaps indecent thirst for life in me, and have decided that apparently there is not-that is, once again, until my thirtieth year, after which I myself shall want no more, so it seems to me.
Some snotty-nosed, consumptive moralists, poets especially, often call this thirst for life base. True, it's a feature of the Karamazovs, to some extent, this thirst for life despite all; it must be sitting in you too; but why is it base?
There is still an awful lot of centripetal force on our planet, Alyosha. I want to live, and I do live, even if it be against logic. Though I do not believe in the order of things, still the sticky little leaves that come out in the spring are dear to me, the blue sky is dear to me, some people are dear to me, whom one loves sometimes, would you believe it, without even knowing why; some human deeds are dear to me, which one has perhaps long ceased believing in, but still honors with one's heart, out of old habit...
I want to go to Europe, Alyosha, I'll go straight from here. Of course I know that I will only be going to a graveyard, but to the most, the most precious graveyard, that's the thing! The precious dead lie there, each stone over them speaks of such ardent past life, of such passionate faith in their deeds, their truth, their struggle, and their science, that I-this I know beforehand-will fall to the ground and kiss those stones and weep over them-being wholeheartedly convinced, at the same time, that it has all long been a graveyard and nothing more.
And I will not weep from despair, but simply because I will be happy in my shed tears. I will be drunk with my own tenderness. Sticky spring leaves, the blue sky-I love them, that's all! Such things you love not with your mind, not with logic, but with your insides, your guts, you love with your first young strength..."-Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
Thank you very much for that....it was beautiful ! I love Jenny , always will. Peace. and the sax was effing great !
Smashed it out the park once again, I need an adventure soon!
As Mark Kermode would say, "Well Done You."
Seriously, it's a great watch. Lovely soundtrack by the way.
Thanks for putting it all together.
Cheers
What a delight of a film. Well done to all the riders who entered too. Takes some guts to even try such a beast of an event. We truely live in a beautiful Island don't we.
I’m so so touched by this. While watching this, I can’t help but comparing this with Squid Game (yes, the Korean drama). If Squid Game represent the worst of mankind through a competition, then Pan Celtic Race is the total opposite. Both organisers has clear motivation behind the game, but the results are the total opposite.
Every participants suffer throughout the race, but they enjoy every single bit of it, it is Life! We can grind through the competition or we can lift our heads up and appreciate the beautiful scenery.
I admire Angus, not only because of his unbelievable performance, but how he also managed to enjoy every bit of the race while being competitive, he is a real winner.
And Chris and Paul demonstrate real sportsmanship, this touched me a lot too!
I can go on and on, but I really love how the team made this race as beautiful as the scenery. Thank you so much!
Outstanding, quality job; so where to next year
The Wild Atlantic Way 🤩
Such great vibes. Well done to all involved.
The style in which the video was filmed and edited was also incredibly well done.
Cheers Stuart, much appreciated
Yeah! Congrats to everyone that took the challenge and, really, the video editing is amazing! Got me in the mood to run it someday! greetings from Argentina.
Love bikes !
Hoping this doc will get some sexy film laurels to go with it. So good.
I have watched this 17 times now it is a beautiful video. Inspirational !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well done and thank you
What an awesome movie, like it so bad ! Featured on our website ;)

Beautiful and Epic at the same time, what a journey. Glad though that I did not have to race under that torrential rain......
Great film. Really enjoyed watching. Great music edit
I waching it fourth time! Absolutley love the spirit and the eye of the film makers! Love the way as the essence of adventure cyclig explained!
Have to say this was one of the best bike race films I've seen. Great editing, spectacular filiming. Big respect to the organisers and riders!
Thanks Nathan. Its all a labour of love. Great to have nice feedback :)
Agree 💯
@@BIIIKES hop
much respect to you all from Ontario Canada...cheers
It is a very well made film, I happened to land on this film on 4th July 2022.
Brilliant film. Thank you.
....wow....amazing...love it.....
Great film and HUGE RESPECT to all the riders. That Angus is just an animal though😀.
What a brilliant documentary to watch!!
Endurance sport is fascinating and inspiring, the highlight for me the two guys battling for 2nd & 3rd who decided to enjoy each other’s company and ride in together, nice people ride bikes!
Almost any form of cycling off the track is “endurance” sport, this is well into “ultra endurance” at these kinds of distances and durations. What I find fascinating is that it’s far more about mental condition than it is physical condition - a 50watt FTP advantage is completely meaningless compared to the ability just to not give up and press on, for whatever reason that drives you.
I don’t think it’s altruism that made them ride together so much as mutual encouragement, distraction and overcoming fatigue, boredom, loneliness and fear. Basic human companionship, even in an event that seemingly celebrates independence and isolation.
What a wonderful film!
Amazing
Excellent film, Thank you!
Wow! Great race I had ever seen before.
This is actually the best vidéo available on TH-cam. FANTASTIC.
this is amazing
Seems like such a bunch on genuine down to earth enthusiasts enjoying a huge challenge with a couple beers at the end. Great filming, this has been one of the best cycling documentaries I've seen recently. Chapeau ladies and gents !
Wow - what a race - what a film - what a spirit - thx a lot 🚴🏻♂️🌈👍🏻
Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
Such a postive Movie with so lovely riders in a great Landscape
The intro music is vibing in my head
way better than gcn+'s film about this race, and this film is free...
You are too kind...but also very true x
Wow!
Really nicely made film! Thanks so much.
I've been a bike packer for over 30 years and have never heard from you ... 22 'I'll be there ... the weather isn't that much better here either and, most importantly, I'm not very fresh anymore and with you I've also seen such old sacks .... Greetings from Cologne, Germany
Haha ok well looking forward to welcoming you to the Clan 👍
1 week before you start your 1st bikepacking trip: can I really do it? In the 1st week then: wow, it's great to experience nature like this. In the 2nd week: wow, i feel better with every day and i get stronger and fitter. With every further week and every new day it gets better and better, your body in harmony with the nature: experiencing and feeling freedom.
And in the last week of your trip: wow, as soon as i'm back home, i have to plan the next tour.
As a long distance bike rider, who now rides a recumbent due to back and neck issue's, I'd love to try this, if they'd let me do it on my recumbent. As for tires, Schwalbe Marathon Plus and thorn resistant inner tube. I hate Flats. I've been to Stone Henge many many years ago. But I hate riding in rain. I love listening to people talk about "Oh I want to ride 200K today, that's only 124 miles. I used to do that a lot. Anyways, great video.
amazing film. what a route. thank you
A great watch, Well worth the viewing
what an epic race!!! amazing film, people and I loved the music too!
This is so what I love about being British, this sense of of 'get on with it' no nonsense attitude.. Beautiful! Thank you to all of you.
Sadly it appears the British people will be gone in 100 years..... 😢
The guys and gals on this crazy race passed us on in the opposite direction of my Lands End ride last year. One of the guys broke his wheel as he passed us snd we arranged for our tour guide to give him a lift as they ride completely unsupported. Huge respect to them
Jenny Graham might just be the sweetest person on a bike.
Brilliant film featuring beautiful scenery and interesting people! Very inspirational. The "kind of free jazz" rendition of "Careless Whisper" really cracked me up at the end! 😆
Amazing documentation -sitting on a bike in Germany and loving it
Brutal. Beautiful. Mind boggling. Amazing.
Great film - thanks!
wow
Superb film
Such a great use of 46:41. I am a better person for having watched this great movie. Thank you PCRS team.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
fabtastic
Everything about this video is amazing. Great production; filmography, music, insight. But the riders and the epic journey and scenery are absolutely amazing. Makes me want to ride long.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for this wonderful video.
Just wonderful.
It was good to see the two guys come in together, that’s what it’s all about, in cycling and in life in general, the only person you can truly compare yourself to is you.
Awesome 👍🤘🚴
Nice job, riders& film& organizers.
That was AMAZING. I got a good laugh when he sang Eye of the Tiger to Fergus 😂
That was great. Have to find that cover. Loved the Dire Straits on the Sax at the end as well. Great film!
Absolutely brilliant, and great camera work! I've been off the bike 4 weeks now, possibly waiting for lower back herniated disc operation? This perked me up a lot, plus I live in Poland, but I am originally from Bristol, so it was nice to see my city and the Westcountry! Also my mother lived in North Wales in the mountains, so this film brought a little piece of home to me. Thank you, it was very inspirational.
Wow.
That is all.
perfect! congrats
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
parabéns a todos participantes...
So well made that my legs ache...
Angus Young is a beast!!!
🎥🚴♂ Wow, just wow! This cycling video is a masterpiece. We're honored to include it in our collection and celebrate the cycling spirit together! 🎊
