Presenting THREADS IN THE DIRT. Matthew Fairbrother stitches the Sea to Sky corridor together in one single thread of riding: Linking the biggest descents in Pemberton, Whistler, Squamish and North Vancouver into one continuous ultra-endurance mission. One huge line. One long day. One challenge big enough to honour the place that influenced Matt as a kiwi from across the world.
That’s 332km, 10, 250m of elevation gain, and he does it all in… well you will have to watch the film to see just how quick he can do it.
“It wasn’t about proving anything. It wasn’t about setting a record. It was about leaving my own mark, a thread in the dirt, woven into the same landscape that shaped the riders who shaped me.”
Matt’s kit of choice needed to perform with him. Naturally, it was made from Merino Wool, Nature’s Performance Apparel made for the longer ride.
