Filmmaker Lizzie Jenkins partnered up with the folks at Tailfin Cycling to bring us a new, short bikepacking film about an 800-kilometer off-road adventure through the Catalan Pyrenees. “El Piri: The Spirit of the Catalan Pyrenees” documents the incredible scenery and perspectives of those who took on the inaugural edition of El Piri and spotlights a number of different stories throughout this incredible ride.

With the film focusing on a sense of fulfillment, it should be noted that El Piri 2024 had an 80% finish rate–a distinct departure from the typical event finishing rate of about 40-50%. The film looks to highlight the sense of accomplishment prospective riders can glean from taking on what can often seem like an impossible undertaking, with the hopes of inspiring people to come out and see how a potential finish could change their lives.
