We had To Turn Round & Go Back! | S3 EP4
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A dirt-road ride through Colombia takes an unexpected turn when the trail ends and the riders have to retrace their route. The setback adds almost 100 kilometres to a day that already leaves Ellen and the creator hot and exhausted.
About this film
Part of Season 3 – Riding My Moto In South America, this 24-minute episode follows ADVcharlie on a motorcycle trip around the world. The ride continues with Ellen and Sven, known as Bikemitus, as they explore Colombia by motorcycle. The creator’s bike is a modified KTM 790 Adventure S, placing the episode within an ongoing journey rather than a standalone destination visit. Its focus is on the experience of travelling over dirt roads and the change of plan when one route cannot be continued.
The journey
The group sets out to ride as many dirt roads as possible while exploring Colombia. On this day, their trail comes to a sudden end, requiring them to turn back. The detour adds almost 100 kilometres at the end of the day, extending the ride for Ellen and the creator as they deal with the heat and fatigue. The account centres on the practical consequence of an interrupted route: extra distance on the road before the day is over. Sven is also riding with them, making this a shared leg of the wider South American motorcycle journey.
What to expect
- Motorcycle travel on dirt roads in Colombia
- A route cut short and a substantial return detour
- A riding day shared by ADVcharlie, Ellen and Sven (Bikemitus)
