The inaugural Dead Ends & Cake event brought out an even field of men and women and took riders on a 500-kilometer self-supported loop around eastern Switzerland. The hitch? There were five mandatory checkpoints at the far end of dead-end roads, where fresh cake was served. Filmmaker Jan Mühlethaler (@herr_roja) was chasing the riders day and night—in a van, on a bike, on foot, and even in the air. The full 41-minute film is available now on Vimeo On Demand for a little over $5, and you can check out the trailer below.
