In October, Alvin Escajeda of Team CNCPT tackled the grueling Trans Pyrénees Race, an ultra-distance challenge that pushes riders to their physical and mental limits. The route spans the Pyrénees’ paved and unpaved sectors, forcing competitors to navigate some of the most demanding terrain in Europe.
The new film Afuera follows Escajeda as he battles through the highs and lows of the event, capturing the emotional and physical extremes of ultra-distance racing.
Escajeda spent 7 days, 22 hours and 42 minutes traversing the Pyrénees, confronting both literal and metaphorical peaks and valleys. The Trans Pyrénees Race sends riders from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean and back again in a fully self-supported format, covering nearly 2,000 kilometers and roughly 40,000 meters of climbing.
He raced the fifth edition aboard a Cervélo Áspero-5 equipped with a custom dynamo-powered set of Zipp 303 XPLR SW wheels, Goodyear Vector R XPLR 40 mm tires, and a Red XPLR AXS & Eagle XX SL Transmission drivetrain.
Afuera documents Escajeda’s full journey through the mountains—an unflinching look at what it takes to endure one of cycling’s toughest ultra-distance events.
