A story about presence.


Time has a way of creeping in. Or is it creeping out?


We don’t notice for weeks, months, or even years but then we feel it in our chest when the house is quiet. In the pit of your stomach when you realize you’re replacing yet another calendar journal that you hardly touched the year before. In the moments when you ask yourself, “What am I even doing this for?”


This story is about time—and what happens when you stop letting it slip by.


From April 28 to May 3, I’ll be in Girona with my friend Harrison Biehl. He’s racing The Traka, a brutal off-road race through the Catalonian countryside, and then setting off on a self-supported solo journey through Europe. It’s not about going fast or going far—it’s about going with intention, but not necessarily with a plan. About stepping outside the illusion of safety and choosing, every day, to show up for what matters to you.

I’m not riding with him. I’m there to document what this moment looks like—through portraiture, conversation, racing images, and honest glimpses into the in-between. This is not a story about the race. 


It’s about what’s at stake in the decision to even be there.


Harrison is someone who’s wrestled with time in ways most of us are too scared to. He’s felt the trap of comfort, the weight of an “okay” life that never really nourishes you. He’s gone down roads of distraction, addiction, identity loss—and found a way back to himself through the bike.


For him, it’s not just a sport. It’s a mirror? A ritual? A compass?


In the days leading up to, during, and just after The Traka, we’ll explore what it means to commit to a life that isn’t guaranteed and find what pushes and pulls Harrison through exploration by means of a bike. To make bold, sometimes reckless decisions not out of ego, but out of the deep knowing that there’s more to feel, more to lose, and more to live.


This short documentary—told through stills, audio, and writing—captures a raw and intimate chapter of that process. A window to transformation, separating the tension between fear and freedom.
