  • The Balkans, is More Stories Tomorrow's second adventure together, an exploration of lands less travelled. Three friends, three countries and 500km of some of South Eastern Europes most under appreciated gems.
    Our goal with this film was to capture, concentrate and bottle-up the unique fun and friendship that's formed through adventure, in the hope with sharing it with as many people as possible.

    What a bloody brilliant video. Loved the landscapes and the emotional ups and downs and good to see that Anna hasn’t lost her epic sense of humour. Truly missed in the pro peloton, but great to see such a fun and adventure filled life beyond road racing. Inspiring.

    After watching a ton of LC's videos over the years I have to say you can almost always tell when there is proper company. Nothing against solo vids but it's obvious how much effect it does have on the experience and the video result when the group of people in it works and the passion returns for LC. Was true for the trips with Francis and James, is true now. Good to see/watch/know and happy for LC 👍

    • @bbikerlawrence
      @bbikerlawrence  Před 4 měsíci +4

    Dang LC...what a trip. You three certainly earned your lap badge. Shades of Morocco with the bout of food poisoning 😢.
    That scenery is gorgeous. Some of the road surfaces looked deadly. Tom's solo ride needs a Director's cut - he must have suffered a lot.
    Greatcwork all of you. My legs hurt just watching this.
    Thanks as always for bringing us along. ❤

      @bbikerlawrence  Před 2 měsíci +1

      We did it like this on purpose, without camping as it allows us to focus on the bike riding and actually cover distance rather than having bikes that weigh 30kg. Maybe another time we’ll camp!

  • @davidrae8475
    @davidrae8475 Před 4 měsíci

    Hi Lawrence, I'm a bit confused.... This is the second high quality production put out by the team. Are these being shown only through your CZcams channel? Is this a highlights reel or is there a longer cut for viewing elsewhere? Anywho, keep up the great work!

  • @user-cx2bk6pm2f
    @user-cx2bk6pm2f Před 4 měsíci

    An enthralling masterpiece. Producing a video like this takes extraordinary skill and an artful talent only inherited from birth. Did we not all sense something special in Lawrence but wondered if it would ever be manifested and how? Well done LC.

    I just discovered your Vlog, looks good.
    Given I have started somewhere in the middle would it be possible if you could include an Episode Number of date on each video.
    Then I can be sure I am watching things in order.

    Absolute troopers! Having had food poisoning after delivering a yacht from Ft Lauderdale to Newport RI we all went to a restaurant...from around 2am the 4 of us succumbed to food poisoning and it wasn't pretty. The hotel owner bought us green Gatorade for hydration...it was the 1st time I have experienced green fluids coming out both ends at the same time. 2 days later greasy Wendy's burgers helped fix the problem.
