Mountain biking in the Alps is one of my bucket-list adventures that I have yet to do, but after watching his video I only want to do it all the more. In this amazing and inspire short film, we join riders Manon Carpenter and Emily Horridge as they set out for a ride around Mont Thabor in the French Alps. The 3000 meter (9842 ft) mountain makes for quite the challenge, testing their resolve and dedication as they go. But the ride is worth every ounce of pain and suffering that it brings on, providing some amazing views and great downhill descents as part of the payoff. Truly fun and wonderful stuff.
