The series was filmed by the award-winning production company, Cold Collaborative, and conceptualized by director and company founder,
"When I was first approached by Life Time with the opportunity to create this docuseries, I was inspired by "Drive to Survive," the Formula 1 Netflix series. The idea was to focus more on the characters and to glorify the races/championship aspect a bit less," said Vandivier. "We discovered that so many of the athletes are out there because they want to be ambassadors, to inspire others to get outside and use the bike as a vector for getting more people outdoors. That's really the mark of one of these athletes. They're getting paid to go race but, equally as much, they are there to represent their sponsors and be an ambassador. We wanted to uncover why they do this kind of thing, and what it takes emotionally and physically."
When asked about the process of creating this docuseries, Vandivier said, "It's a complicated process, as a director. On average, we had seven people at each race over the course of the past year, pouring massive amounts of time, effort, and creativity into this project. I'm damn proud of the team and want to celebrate them because they were the ones who were able to execute the vision. Whether you're a dedicated cyclist, a weekend warrior or simply wishing to draw inspiration in your own life, the series is sure to entertain all."
