“The chocolate is to make it go the distance, the beer is just for a slight buzz, and then the Coke’s just to mellow it all back out again” 🤣 Lachlan is the 👑! 🙌🏻
Absolutely brilliant, this young man just wants to make me ride, at 55 years young and returning back to cycling two years ago, from 16 stone to 11 and doing my first 100 mile ride, I bloody love it 👊
I hear you Chris and concur. Just turned 56 and have dropped 13 kilograms and got back to riding 1000km per month since the Tour finished. As an Australian I am so proud that our country can still produce such people. Chapeau to Lachy and to you.
After skateboarding for so many years. Bike riding have given me a whole new meaning of enjoyment. Can’t help to get a bit of tear typing this. Hope to you meet you one day Lachy. The greatest representation in the cycling world
We’ve been waiting patiently and honestly I haven’t been this excited in while! I know we know the results, but Rapha’s cinematography is so incredible that you get to witness something completely new. Always look forward to Rapha films, but this one is going to be great 🥳🚴🏽♀️
100% of us are watching this & can vibe with the statement Lachlan makes at 29 minutes. Paraphrasing, "you could be talking to someone that's having a very normal day, and then you hang up and realize 'this is sick' but you start to realize that very soon you'll go back to being normal and just dreaming about doing something insane and difficult again."
Love that they had to have a little interlude to say, "yes we have a film crew. Yes they give Lachlan some emotional support." Just so the haters wouldn't go nuts in the comments about how this isn't "real" self-supported.
Lachy...thanks for being such an inspiration to so many of us. You inspired me to ride a 21 day, 1700 mile self supported adventure during the Tour. Your efforts at GBDuro inspired me to plan and execute this. I didn't realize you would be doing this amazing adventure at the same time until I was already on the road. Continue to inspire...
He is so self aware and a true inspiration. What an amazing team to enable him to be who he is. Thanks for this film and Lachlan you truly made the tour special this year.
Well I didn't want that to finish. The film gave me a real sense of "behind the scenes" and involvement. The stopping at shops, setting up camp and bike buying was as enjoyable to watch as the stunning scenery. Always leave these films wanting and waiting for more. Chapeau Lachy
After a couple of years it won't matter who won the GC, but Lachlan's effort will always be immediately recalled as the key highlight of 2021 TDF! Great job! 🤘
I have admired Lachlan for his epic rides. Being a cyclist myself to be a transparent rider is the best you can do. I am following Lachlan on Strava and I am one of his fans. Yes it is a tough to ride. And lots of people think it's easy but you and your bike, it's once in a while the best feeling in the world.
Dear Rapha…I would take good care of this guy as he has become the most recognizable face and personality of your brand. Lachlan resonates with your customers across a broad range of ages and segments. Very genuine personality and has empathy for others, good sense of broader picture which can be rare in cycling.
Words cannot justify what an inspiration Lach is. He's just the most free spirited soul on the planet doing great things. The world is a much better place with him cycling it.
Loneliness challenge... that hit me in the feels. Lost my best friend recently so that hit home. Im glad you have people that care, and that you enjoy being around, to accompany you on your epic journey. I need more of that in my life. I think many of us could use a bit more of it.
Sweet! Human power without clutter and complexity. Less is more. Just breath and thoughts. It’s why we ride. Thank you Lachlan and thank you Rapha. Peace.
How does this guy not inspire you? I watched that dot throughout the whole tour, cheering him on! I often checked his progress before the tour!!! I even donated a couple of bikes - great work Lachy!!
I just wish this documentary video was 2 hours long! I didn't want it to end. Amazing effort, amazing spirit, amazing production...thanks Lachy for being AMAZING!
Once again, absolutely amazing. Your honesty, and just you being you is incredibly motivating. You are an inspiration. You are changing lives. And you are making a difference. More kids need to see this side of sport. Again, keep doing what you're doing!!! Go Lachy!!!
Special thanks to all the viewers, sponsors, film crew, family and friends that support and cheer this exceptional human being on in his love for cycling.
Nothing short of an inspiration that transcends cycling itself, thank you Lach for inspiring us all to attack cycling and life, humbly & with a smile. As you’ve shown the bike is massively more than just a tool, speaking for everyone, you’ve made the world a better place. Kudos and thank you so much - Matt
Absolutely love this. Mega inspiring and reason why I keep exploring, sleeping in hedges and finding new views. Along with Lael Wilcox, icons of human spirit and endurance in a very humble way.
A bike movie about people being awesome in general. So inspired by LM. And everything he has done...he gets it...he gives back...he knows what brings out the good in humanity and in himself and he is following that road. I hope that he sees how many people really are touched by what he does. He is making a real difference in the world. A true force of good.
Your "no excuses" approach, the innovation and your determination are so inspiring. I have a big ride coming up that I'm not ready for and I know you'll be there with me in spirit. I know I can transcend what I think I can do and just do inexplicably more... Partly due to your example.
Mate, that will be a ride that goes into history for all the right reasons. The mountains you climbed where the greatest races in history went, are the roads Lachlan Morton rode to raise money for others. And yes, the sandals took it next level. Legend.
The ability to transition to this crazy pedal setup blows my mind. The massive km’s and hours in the saddle, climbing... bonkers. Mentally and physically super human. 🙏
Lachlan Morton is the absolute epitome of a true cyclist. Beyond the peleton. Beyond the bikepackers. Beyond the trackies. HE IS CYCLING. Period. Full stop. Fantastic video, guys. Cheers.
Thanks Rapha for another brilliant video. Well done Lachlan and I don't think given your achievements its too early to call you a Legend in the world of cycling.
Damn why is it that short !?!?!?!? I was following Lachlans dot a whole time, he's real, he's inspiration ! I was worrying about Lachy more than TdF, gonna go and ride bike my today ! As usually Rapha making great films !!! Hello from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 👏👏👏
To me, the human story to accomplish something on the edge of one's limit is more compelling than watching the peloton. Hopefully, Rapha can create more content like this,
Thank you for putting this together with such a good production quality, you’re definitely doing a lot for the cycling community by supporting incredible endeavours like this, I’m excited!
“The chocolate is to make it go the distance, the beer is just for a slight buzz, and then the Coke’s just to mellow it all back out again” 🤣 Lachlan is the 👑! 🙌🏻
I was coming to the comments to write the same thing
@@quincybuickerood3070 great minds! 👍🏻 😜
I would think beer and pop would trade places. Pop gives me a buzz with the sugar!
Most do the coke to make distance and drink beer to fall asleep.
@@googlekonto2851 It would affect me that way!
When his dad showed up, all of a sudden my allergies kicked in and my eyes started tearing…
Yeah I suddenly had a few bits of grit in both my eyes.
somebody starting chopping onions at my house.
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Absolutely brilliant, this young man just wants to make me ride, at 55 years young and returning back to cycling two years ago, from 16 stone to 11 and doing my first 100 mile ride, I bloody love it 👊

All that with a saddle bag wagging like a dugs tail! Chapeau sir!
More excited about this than the tour itself 👌🏻
We’ve been waiting patiently and honestly I haven’t been this excited in while! I know we know the results, but Rapha’s cinematography is so incredible that you get to witness something completely new. Always look forward to Rapha films, but this one is going to be great 🥳🚴🏽♀️
Best moment for me.......riding up Mont Saxonez with Lachlan on the Le Grand Bornand stage. Super nice guy.
100% of us are watching this & can vibe with the statement Lachlan makes at 29 minutes. Paraphrasing, "you could be talking to someone that's having a very normal day, and then you hang up and realize 'this is sick' but you start to realize that very soon you'll go back to being normal and just dreaming about doing something insane and difficult again."
"Sandals to Paris", simply awesome.
Love that they had to have a little interlude to say, "yes we have a film crew. Yes they give Lachlan some emotional support." Just so the haters wouldn't go nuts in the comments about how this isn't "real" self-supported.
Pro tour cycling is great to watch and all but this really knocks it off its pedestal 🙏
My father was never like this to me. I will be the best dad I can be for my baby son. Inspiring and touching film.
All Hail St. Morton, patron saint of long distance road rides, looking forward to this one.
Lachlan Morton. What an inspirational guy, EF racing is what all other teams should be aiming to be similar too. Peddle on man
I rode with Lachlan! Crossed stage 9 finish with him. Such a cool genuine guy and love what he did for charity!
Literally I've been waiting for this since the Tour de France! It's going to be amazing!! Lachy you inspire all of us!!
Lachy rules, he just adds so much to the sport and I think we can all take something from his positivity and attitude
Lachy...thanks for being such an inspiration to so many of us. You inspired me to ride a 21 day, 1700 mile self supported adventure during the Tour. Your efforts at GBDuro inspired me to plan and execute this. I didn't realize you would be doing this amazing adventure at the same time until I was already on the road. Continue to inspire...
This Is a great idea. An alt tour on dirt roads with long stages and self sufficient riders. Epic!
The best BikePacking movie of 2021
These films are nothing short of freaking insane! Makes a change to what is normally out there!
Lachlan has now made my list of cycling heroes:
Eddie Merckx
Danny MacAskill
Lael Wilcox
Lachlan......you are an inspiration, Chapeau.
He is so self aware and a true inspiration. What an amazing team to enable him to be who he is. Thanks for this film and Lachlan you truly made the tour special this year.
Lachlan with the chocolate beer coke buzz blend is legendary. Fuqqing love it, well done sir!
Lachlan Morton For President Of The world
This guy. Inspirational as always Lachy. If this guy isn't your favourite bike rider then I dont know what to say
🎥🚴♂ Wow, just wow! This cycling video is a masterpiece. We're honored to include it in our collection and celebrate the cycling spirit together! 🎊
Ohhh cheeky final scene...looking forward to the next one already. Great work Lachy
Well I didn't want that to finish. The film gave me a real sense of "behind the scenes" and involvement. The stopping at shops, setting up camp and bike buying was as enjoyable to watch as the stunning scenery. Always leave these films wanting and waiting for more. Chapeau Lachy
Lachy is such a laid back cool cat! Always a joy to watch and listen too!!
I really don’t care about competitive cycling, but I watched the dot every damn day. Thank you for being awesome.
My new hydration regiment: chocolate milk, beer, and coke. The perfect trifecta!
Chocolate Milk + Beer + Coke = Slightly Better Version of Yourself => Priceless
I love these films. Every single one. Thanks so much for making them!
Love the dad part. Just freakin awesome. Everyone needs a supportive dad.
That made me well up a little bit when Lachlan was talking about his dad, then he showed up. What an experience! Beautiful 🙂
This dude is one of the coolest guys on the planet. Would love to have a beer with this guy.
this could of been 2 hours and i would of watched it all... what a legend
After a couple of years it won't matter who won the GC, but Lachlan's effort will always be immediately recalled as the key highlight of 2021 TDF! Great job! 🤘
What a quote....if you're not a little bit anxious, then you're not biting enough off'.

From the point where his dad caught up and then dropping into Paris was the best
Lachy is just too cool. I reckon a 100 mile ride with him would be the chillest and coolest time.
Awesome Lachy! such an inspiration no doubt! Thanks!
Words cannot justify what an inspiration Lach is. He's just the most free spirited soul on the planet doing great things. The world is a much better place with him cycling it.

So excited about this, Lachlan is a living legend...
Once again Lachlan does what others would find impossible. A true inspiration.
most inspiring and likeable guy on a bike, fantastic
Sweet! Human power without clutter and complexity. Less is more. Just breath and thoughts. It’s why we ride. Thank you Lachlan and thank you Rapha. Peace.
I was glad to see that you included the film crew and your relationship with them.
LOL, what an absolute legend. Chocolate milk>Beer>Coke-a-Cola. That's a stack to get you ripped bro.
i am so ready for this . nearly lost my hope to see this masterpiece .
Just incredible Lach, I am riding my bike now after see this video. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Lachlan is the best. Thank you Rapha for supporting this man's vision and this alt tour. This is what cycling needs more of!
How does this guy not inspire you? I watched that dot throughout the whole tour, cheering him on! I often checked his progress before the tour!!! I even donated a couple of bikes - great work Lachy!!
I just wish this documentary video was 2 hours long! I didn't want it to end. Amazing effort, amazing spirit, amazing production...thanks Lachy for being AMAZING!

Love ya Lach! Thanks for living and sharing your truth!! And thanks to Rapha and EF for supporting him !! More of this great stuff! Please! 😊👍
Yes! Another movie with Lachlan riding a huge epic! With syncs and emotional scenery shots! Please give us more! More!
So cool, it’s not always about winning races. What a cool experience thanks for sharing.
Absolutely inspirational! You’re a legend Lachlan 👏👏👏
Magnificent, could have been a whole series!
Ok you got me when Dad showed up. Lachy loved this video!
Special thanks to all the viewers, sponsors, film crew, family and friends that support and cheer this exceptional human being on in his love for cycling.
This is fantastic to have a video on its way. Please also do a book.

Every time I watch a video with Lachy I'm reminded what a breath of fresh air he is. Cycling needs more people with his attitude!
Simply amazing. Thanks!❤️
Lachlan hope to see you in the next gravel world cup👍
So thankful for Lachlan & everyone who made it happen. Seriously the best I’ve watched!!!
I had the biggest smile watching it
Mad respect ✊🏽
Your "no excuses" approach, the innovation and your determination are so inspiring. I have a big ride coming up that I'm not ready for and I know you'll be there with me in spirit. I know I can transcend what I think I can do and just do inexplicably more... Partly due to your example.
Go Lachy Go!! Such a legend 👏
Very inspirational, Lachlan. Thank you!!!
Mate, that will be a ride that goes into history for all the right reasons. The mountains you climbed where the greatest races in history went, are the roads Lachlan Morton rode to raise money for others. And yes, the sandals took it next level. Legend.
This is an amazing story - I followed you during your epic ride. I did 24 hours up Alpe Du Zwift for World Bicycle relief in 2019, such a great cause!
The ability to transition to this crazy pedal setup blows my mind. The massive km’s and hours in the saddle, climbing... bonkers. Mentally and physically super human. 🙏
Hold my beer and chocolate milk! 😂 So good.
Cheers to a mega adventure Lachlan that is Impossible Route material
Lachlan Morton is the absolute epitome of a true cyclist. Beyond the peleton. Beyond the bikepackers. Beyond the trackies. HE IS CYCLING. Period. Full stop. Fantastic video, guys. Cheers.
What a lovely chap he is. Chapeau.
Incredible Lac, every time i watch one of these with you i want to ride and ride and ride!
That moment when his dad appeared had me in tears. What a beautiful storyline. I aspire to be that type of dad, some day.
Thanks Rapha for another brilliant video. Well done Lachlan and I don't think given your achievements its too early to call you a Legend in the world of cycling.
Merci monsieur pour ce magnifique exploit.
Damn why is it that short !?!?!?!? I was following Lachlans dot a whole time, he's real, he's inspiration ! I was worrying about Lachy more than TdF, gonna go and ride bike my today ! As usually Rapha making great films !!! Hello from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 👏👏👏
What a legend!
WHAT AN INSPIRATION TO SO MANY PEOPLE! YES LAD
hes such an inspiration, gets me wanting to ride everytime I watch his vids
To me, the human story to accomplish something on the edge of one's limit is more compelling than watching the peloton. Hopefully, Rapha can create more content like this,
I love this channel. Rapha does a great job with these videos
dude is the best of everything cycling has to offer me, anything more is unnecessary. anything less is unacceptable, Thanks Lachy!
Incredible great job
Watching this gave me the chills of excitement to do more crazy long bike rides. Loved this film nice one Lachlan.
Thank you for putting this together with such a good production quality, you’re definitely doing a lot for the cycling community by supporting incredible endeavours like this, I’m excited!
I teared when his dad surprised him. Wonderful relationships and meaningful tour. Thanks Lachlan and the team who made this possible.
He just gets it eh, always an inspiration thanks Lachy!
This was a bloody good watch. Chapeau!
