Puffy rolling hills clothed in olive trees are flushed in golden light. Shadow time projects the long black wings of falcons circle high above the parched earth. The only sounds are those of tires gently rolling along a dirt road leading to a house named after the birds flying overhead, ‘Podere il Falco”.
“Three decades ago, this 300-year old farmhouse was my home,” explains Hans Rey. “I had olive trees, a vineyard, a forest, and 70 acres covered with singletrack. At that time, although I was super busy traveling the world with my bike, I did wonder how much longer my career as a professional mountain biker would continue. So once upon a time, I dreamed about a life based in Italy, and I had a soft exit plan.” Hans fell in love with the Italian culture and the simple country life.
Rob Warner joins Hans Rey in exploring Mexico City on e-bikes in a high octane 5-day traverse of this mega metropolis. Along with their crew, local guide Mau de Avila was along for the ride (DABCO). Watch this 40-minute documentary as they hit some incredible lines at a trail center on the fringes of a city packed with 20 million people, skirt the crater of a high-altitude volcano for the ultimate descent and are awed by the pyramids at Teotihuacan. Take a Birdseye view as they embark on the ultimate joy ride visiting famous landmarks throughout the city and some sketchy neighborhoods too. Take in the color, culture, history, nature and the ever-growing mountain bike scene in Mexico. There is no shortage of one-liners and classic Warner commentary as well as some beautiful trails and a little giving back to the less fortunate. A film by No Way Productions & Cedric Tassan.
