Gravel riding, road cycling, MTB racing, and playing on swings — that’s what these two pro cyclists do for fun.

Accomplished long-distance cyclists and gravel riders Lachlan Morton and Alex Howes are always down for fun (on bikes).

“From Howes recently winning the 144-mile 2021 SBT GRVL, and Lachlan’s self-supported Tour de France ‘Alt Tour’ project, these two know how to crush on bikes but keep it ‘pure fun’,” Cannondale wrote. Aside from enjoying being on a bike, the “pure fun” aspect is evident by the youthful playground montage.

So if you’re wondering what pro cyclists do for fun, here’s your answer.

In this film, follow Morton and Howes around the Colorado backcountry (up to the buildup of the Pikes Peak Apex MTB challenge). The film “documents moments of riding, ripping, racing, connecting, hanging, and simply enjoying the purity of the sport” — in other words, pure fun.
