Director's Statement: I've known Steve Langston for more than 15 years. I wouldn't say that we have been the best of friends during this time, but we have always shared the same offbeat sense of humor, which has kept us close over the years.Steve started bike touring around the same time I began studying filmmaking. He would phone me while on the road and fill me in on his latest adventures. The stories blew my mind! I knew that I wanted to try bike touring and told Steve that I would tag along one day and shoot a film. This didn't happen right away as Steve is a tough guy to keep up with. It didn't take long until he had more than 25,000 kms under his belt, written two guidebooks and showed no sign of slowing down anytime soon.In 2009 I got a call from him as I usually did when he was planning a trip. He told me he would be cycling from Whitehorse to Yellowknife in June of 2010 claiming that it was going to be his most hardcore tour to date. The distance between services was unbelievable and there would be 24 hours of sunlight.I knew that if I was ever going to make a film about him that this was my chance. I told him that I was in and never looked back.
