  • Of the expeditions I’ve led, this was very risky. In a cartel-controlled jungle there were more variables and risk than I could even calculate, there’s no cease fire back there.

    Hey Lucas,
    again you show that a bicycle not just bring people from A to B, it cross borders and bring the mankind together.
    you're such a tough guy, I'm so amazed, you doing this for years, you're definetly an idol. My respect. I'm not a good believer but I might say god bless you for another million miles and allways a hand full of air in the tires!

    Really would like the details of the ride. Miles, route, mechanicals, elevation gain. This is a trip that only few have taken and I don’t believe it had ever been done on a bicycle before. Don’t mean to doubt but it’s such a feat that it would be one some would want to, let’s say embellish.

    • @lucasbrunelle
      @lucasbrunelle  Před 9 dny

      I'd be happy to elaborate, our Strava route is in the video description. I did a recon trip down there months earlier and coordinated with Panamanian government. On the Colombian side I consulted the father of a kid I grew up with on Martha’s Vineyard who was in the cartel and I used other connections I had in Miami for intel. It was the most involved planning, recon, and intel that I ever conducted. We had redundant satellite phones, power banks, close call scanners, stingrays, and of course audio and video. I would go back there again knowing what I do
