600 MILES ACROSS MONTANA | Solo Bike Touring Documentary (Full Film)

600 Miles. 12 Days. One Epic Solo Adventure. https://www.bicycletouringpro.com/donate

Join Darren Alff, the "Bicycle Touring Pro," on an unforgettable journey as he cycles 600 miles across western Montana, experiencing the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains, the serenity of remote lakes, and the solitude of wild forest campsites. This feature-length documentary combines all 12 days of his solo bike tour across Montana into one epic film, capturing every twist, turn, and emotional moment along the way.

Starting in Missoula, Montana, Darren pedals through charming small towns like Seeley Lake, Whitefish, Libby, and Superior, navigating dirt forest roads, steep mountain climbs, and winding scenic highways. Camping under the stars, avoiding bears, and waking up to rain-soaked mornings, Darren embraces the highs and lows of solo bicycle touring.

From humorous encounters with fellow travelers and Darren's alter-ego “Billy Bob,” to quiet moments of reflection on life, purpose, and resilience, this documentary captures the raw reality of traveling alone on two wheels. Along the way, Darren faces challenges like equipment failures, muddy roads, and the emotional struggles of solitude—but also discovers the incredible kindness and warmth of the people in Montana.

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist, an aspiring adventurer, or simply someone looking for inspiration, this full-length film offers an immersive, honest, and beautiful look at what it means to take on a solo journey of this magnitude.
