Deux North, a cycling brand started by James and Dylan Nord, brings you Hunt 3. The third in a series of ten trips around the world. These hunts brings a group of young, passionate people together in a new place to rediscover the things they love about cycling. Seeking to answer why we love riding our bike by creating experiences outside of comfort or familiarity.
Deux North wanted to tell a different story about the things we love about cycling, but what they found was that the love was more powerful than any single experience and that their same passion exists everywhere.
Hunt 3 brought five cyclists from their home in New York City, to the foothills of the Adirondacks Mountains. They set up camp outside of Boonville, New York. Washing in the river and cooking meals over the fire, they rode out of their primitive setting everyday to ride hundreds of miles of beautiful roads.
When they weren’t on the bike, the hunters visited the area’s largest event of the year, the Woodsmen Field Days. They set to meeting a seemingly different lot, lumberjacks and lumberjills. In the stories of the lumberjacks, Deux North discovered they too were hunters. The same passion driving Deux North’s cyclists to ride the most beautiful roads in the world, was behind every axe throw, chain saw, and log roll in Boonville, NY.
