GBDuro 2019 - EF Gone Racing

- If Dirty Kanza whet your appetite for rides out of the ordinary, allow us to introduce GBDuro: a 2,000km race devised by The Racing Collective, mostly off-road, that joins the UK’s furthest points. Lachlan Morton set off from Land’s End, not really knowing what was in store. This is what he found.
The alternative calendar is our attempt at changing the status quo in cycling. Together with EF Education First Pro Cycling we want to expand the sport’s horizons to make it a more engaging and entertaining prospect for all.

Rapha, EF Ed & Lachlan: You really have something special here..
This is true!
Rich Burgess they really really do.
Just awesome. Pleased to say- I was the dude at 5:50 in the middle of no-where in an EF top cheering him on! I find this the most inspirational thing I have ever seen. All legends in my eyes !
I know this was a year ago but I am seriously jealous. There is nothing like this happening where I live and I would love to be able to see someone I admire riding through my town in the middle of something this inspiring.
These films are some of the best cycling documentaries I've seen. Love them!
It was a privilege to be part of this race on my Smokestone fatbike. Was incredible to meet Lachlan and ride with him for the first 90 mins or so before he took off up the road never to be seen again!!!
Rapha and EF did a great job of capturing just how brutally hard this event truly was. kudos
All of the 30 other people who chucked their names in the hat to take part and mission down to lands end for the grand depart are heroes in my eyes, as are all involved from the racing collective in creating something so special.
The bit the film didn't capture is Lachlan after he'd finished, he was dot watching away and personally messaging words of encouragement, a proper legend!!
Andy Deacon congrats
Andy Deacon thank you for mentioning this, that REALLY shows his true colors man. Wow. Thank you
Humble heroes are the best. Lachlan's dot-watching and messaging encouragement makes him even more special in my eyes.
Respect for ending with a tribute to the other riders. Superb
Awesome seeing you on the route man. Such a mega ride and a great guy. Also stellar job on the film, probs to Rapha and EF for putting resources being this stuff. Proper bike riding!
Cameron Mason 👍
I've watched probably 1000 cycling videos on youtube over the years and this one, this whole series of the alternate calendar, is among the most inspiring and the production value is incredible. Thank you to all who took part in putting stuff like this into the world. glorious epic of a ride for lachy. chapeau!
"How do my legs feel so great?" knocks back a can of Irn Bru. That's why! 😂
"The dark moments fade but if you give into them they last forever" ❤️
Sushi in a Bivvy Bag, that's f**king priceless.
Gary Fryett YES!!!!! hahahaha
Awesome movie. That attemented pinch zoom at 18:54 really captured his state well after the first two days. 🤣🤣🤣
When the dot watchers started coming out to see and ride with Lachie, thats when this became truly epic. Amazing stuff.
Met you guys 2016 i guess and i allways will remember this moment. I worked for a pro team that time and every team was kinda grumpy because everybody worked hard over the last days and then there were you guys standing there in the worst weather ever and and the whole team smiled like the world could not get better. You guys make memorys which stay and motivate normal people for while riding their bikes. We need more of this. I mean pro is pro but dont take it to serious...
Massive respect to lachy for doing this. The man has that adventure spirit in his soul.
Rapha, it was a classy move showing the other finishers.
You don't need to win a Grand Tour to write the Legend of modern Cycling. Amazing performance, awesome individual, Lachlan Morton belongs to a league of its own. Thank you EF / Rapha for your top-quality and cinematic posts.
EF the pro team of pro teams. Seriously epic and great to see the respect you give to all aspects of riding. Great to see you are not just about the pro peloton because bikes riding is more than just that.
I've done an Ultraman, 100 mile trail runs, 12 self-supported Ironmans, and all that crap, and I've watched tons of videos trying to capture the spirit of this stuff... This film is AMAZING. One of the best ever. And to see somebody as cool as L.M. (spitting image of Chris Cornell, btw) handling it with grace is the best part. A must-watch for anybody wanting to do more than the status quo.
Definitely cried. Great work!
It seems that it must have been as much work doing the cinematography as it was for the bike riders.
Bravo well done this was a remarkable journey to follow. I appreciate how much work went into putting just film together
Everyone forgets how much experience he has with rides like this. Watch all the rapha videos of him and his brother riding reeeeeeaaaaallly fast through the middle of nowhere over sand and rocks and you'll understand why he's the best human on a bike. He doesn't win tours but he rides further and faster than anyone alive. Lachlan is an absolute legend and there is no equal.
Not a cyclist, I'm an ultrarunner, but that was freaking awesome. Loved that. Lachlan's passion for what he does is infectious. Keep up the good work y'all!
One of the best rapha films yet. A wonderful take on the purity of cycling and the extremes of self discipline.
Echoing what lots are saying on here. The alternative race calendar series is some of the best bicycle content on TH-cam right now. Awesome production crews, content quality and honest characters (I mean you're just being normal people).
Thank you Lachlan, EF and Rapha for inspiring all of us. This is the best thing going on in cycling right now.
That was one of the best things I've ever seen on TH-cam. Also, now a total Lachlan Morton fan
Dude, you summed it up in two sentences. I felt exactly the same.
Absolutely love this new type of cycling marketing! Whoever is behind all this with EF and Rapha, keep it up this is good stuff!
“Do your best, then tell the story.” - Tejay Van Garderen
Chapeau EF!
This is cycling. What a hero
Please don't ever stop making this mini docs. What a breath of fresh air this is bringing into the world of cycling.
thank you Rapha & Lachlan. This meant more to me than you can know. Never ever quit. You will have to live with that feeling the rest of your life. Thank you Lach...
Classy that you gave all the finishers their moment. Truly a magical video.
No pain, no gain...well I think Lachlan just gained himself the hearts of all who watched his epic journey.
Lachlan Morton, gotta love the man...
These alternative race videos are something else. Lots of respect to Lachlan. Got me cheering for EF Education First in the Tour as well.
Beautiful sport. Rapha has come full circle, again, and only better further higher, and more to come.
"That's an amazing Why to have..." Simon Mottram, "The sport is amazing. Incredible aesthetic amazing stories. A huge well-spring of ideas... Create something to reflect really how amazing this sport is, and bring that to people.""It's an experience, a transformational experience that makes people's lives better when they really get into cycling." Thanks for keeping at it and keeping us at it.
Double thumbs up, that was a viewing pleasure !! :)
So inspiring!! The human mind expands along with the beating 💓 !
Tears in my eyes. "I am right where I need to be... this is better than finishing, right now!" You are a legend. Thanks for the inspiration.
🎉👌 This video perfectly captures the joy of cycling! We're so excited to add it to our collection and share the inspiration. Keep rolling out the great content! 🚴♂
it's like Toure de France back in the days 🙌🏻👍🏻
This is one of the most powerful cycling videos out there
Ok Rapha, you win. Your films are so good I have to buy something with your logo on it.
Some pro road teams have money and win races. EF might win fewer races, but they have something extra - passion - the rare kind of passion that inspires everyday cyclists across all disciplines and can't be bought. As someone who pledged funding for the EF crowdfunding appeal way back when, I'm overjoyed to see EF trailblazing in every sense. I enjoy my cycling more as a result of watching these films, they're very special.
Absolutely bloody awesome what achievement Very well done 👍
What a top bloke Lachie is.... I had the pleasure of riding with him several times when he was a young fella back in Australia (and his dad and his brother). So nice to see he has turned out to be such a champion.
This might be the most inspirational cycling video I have ever seen. There's something about super endurance races that make me want to ride my bike a little further and a little harder. Thank you for the videos!
12:10 its really amazing that those sheep didn't fall in that cattle grid
Supermarket Sushi!! 🤢🤮 Stomach of steel to match the legs obviously. Amazing film, amazing guy. 👏👏👏
Loving these videos so much so much inspiration
Wow! Inspirational. Just re-enforces my love for cycling and gives me comfort to know I'm not a freak for feeling this way ...
Awesome job Lachlan. Kudos to Rapha and EF and the racing crew for taking on DK and gbduro. Cycling needs more of this.
This guy is so chill and mellow but hard as nails. Great video.
Good Hollywood movie story line stuff. Sure, it's a pro that smashes non-pros in an endurance event, but obviously much more. Our hero accepts a challenge and has difficulties a long the way. He's uplifted by the beauty of the outdoors and the people he meets on his journey. He completes his mission while learning something greater about himself and the accomplishment.
love this guy!! so much inspiration! these videos are best thing ever!
Morton , you are truly an warrior bloody well done !
Love these films. Very inspiring. What a ride!
Lachlan is breaking the mold. It doesn't matter what type of bike you ride, what gear you wear or where you go. Just go ride and have fun! Love this.
Please keep doing these. They are so amazing!
What an amazing production. Lachlan, you made me cry three times while watching this. You are a champion of cycling and of humans in general. You have my utmost respect.
I’ve watched this 3 times now, I can already feel this being my motivation vid for the winter. Oh plus, brother neckin my favourite brew @ 7:30 like a champ
Amazing video, amazing ride, amazing rider!
Great job Lachlan
Inspired! Thank you EF, Rapha and most of all Lachlan
What an amazing thing. Well done to all involved. The video really captured the essence of what the event seems to be about.
These videos are amazing. Oh, and so is the riding.
Never thought I’d be cheering at the screen as a dot watcher! Huge respect to Lachlan and the other riders, thanks to EF and Rapha for sharing this with us 👏🏻
Such an epic film and a great doco for Lach to have. I’ll be watching this more than once.
Keep this stuff coming!! I think I’ll grab a brew and watch it again!
Wow. Watched your dot travel up and was impressed. Seeing the actual route in this film made it so much more real. What an awesome experience and achievement. 🤘🏻
Superb, chapeau Lachlan, well done EF for connecting with us average Joes.
I’ve just watched this for a second time. Truly inspirational, makes me want to go for a looong ride!
Truly amazing and inspiring. Thanks for making this video.
Such a beatiful roads, and what a great performance by Lachlan !!
So inspirational. So much respect for Lachlan for venturing out of the norm for pro rider. DK and now GBDURO. I want to go test myself now
One of the best things I’ve watched, brilliant and honest.
Amazing. Thank you.
Lachlan, you are my new hero and favorite pro tour rider now! You even rode through my village near Bristol, but i live in Poland, so i wouldnt have seen you anyway! Great job man, you're a massive inspiration to cyclist and dreamers everywhere!!
Excellent in every way, thank you. More please!
I love love love all of these videos. Keep it up. Lachlan is my new hero.
Awesome film! Really made it feel like we were riding with Lachlan the entire way.
Lachlan! You legend! 🔥
This video is a roller coaster of physical and mental strength! Absolute masterpiece!
The more I see of Lachlan the more I think he's a quality guy, pure class.
This was a fantastic video and a joy to see how the love of pure cycling is as strong for the pros as the rest of us. Top, top work...

Another awesome video this and the dirty Kanza were some of the best cycling films Ive seen this year! Keep it up!
Really inspiring story and beautiful content. Congrats Lachlan, great ride and incredible spirit.
That was EPIC! Lachlan is the human form of what cyclists feel at their core.
This is Cycling. Thanks Lachlan, thanks EF Education, thanks Rapha.
One of the best videos I have watched in a long time! Lachlan you are my hero! The way you portrayed the difficulty was epic. Keep on riding! We are watching and enjoying the ride!!!
That was an incredible watch!
Inspirational. Great to see the connection with fans.
Thanks for creating and sharing such an inspirational video!
Love this, Lachlan did amazingly well. I totally related to his emotions, you wonder why you are riding in the middle of nowhere, cold and wet and then someone pops up and cheers you on and it really lifts your spirits. Chapeau.
Thank you for sharing this an amazing journey with us. I watched this with the pleasure.
Awesome performance, story, and video work. Very enjoyable!
