Friends and ex teammates Larry Warbasse and Conor Dunne head out on their second slow pro tour. This time they’re off to the Crete; the largest of the Greek Islands.
The adventure follows the pair as they ride a lap of the island that’s considered to be the oldest inhabited part of Europe, and the birthplace of Greek mythology. Cycling over the highest roads, hitting the remote hairpin bends, and seeing towering gorges – this is an island with jaw-dropping climbs and astonishing views. Over the 5 days, the friends face unpredictable weather, taste the delicacies of Greek cuisine, and encounter some local wildlife: all whilst trying not to get lost in the vast landscape of the Cretan Isle.
_Slow Pro Tour: Crete_ will be available to watch exclusively on GCN+ from Tuesday 14 February 2023.

Maybe next time we’ll go to the east side of the creek so we said the west side of Creek rains a lot starting to get pretty apocalyptic Come on Connor no he won’t give me any sweet oh I think I see a road tomorrow okay another adventure no right into the cars rise because maybe that was a full starter okay we’re off right now now we’re off my legs are I know Connor that happens
In bike riding sometimes oh oh my bottom I like listening to the Sheep we’re riding Into the Night there is an absolute storm coming in now oh wow this is a road now that’s a sick Road huh I mean you broke your pelvis this year and then I got back on my bike it’s like
You rode again oh my gosh I’ve performed a few rescues in my time at beaches oh okay maybe I’ll go in I feel if you lose my ankles the lockers don’t go for a cycling and their trip explanations when they see you with a bike the first is that you are a tourist
Places in Greek the second is that you don’t have money to buy a car this is super steep you’re not allowed to get dropped yet and I got your sleeping bags in here and the third reason is that you’re crazy I quite like riding in the dark genuinely
One of the most incredible clowns I’ve ever done in my life what a spot what a climb

OMG.. What a ride to try.. Beautiful views while climbing and pristine roads..
What an awesome ride you had here on Crete.
Can't wait to see the full documentary.
please add Larry to the GCN team one day.
Beautiful. The hairpins from Sfakia to Kallikratis?
Really enjoy the rides you 2 do together. Larry seemed in better shape, as a climber.. as Conor was barely recovering from illness and had little training. Glad Conor had the skills to fix Larry's puncture and in return Larry kept Conor from bonking at risk to himself. I see Larry is tagged to ride Giro again, hope still for a TdF invite….FINGERS CROSSED….IMPRESS THE BOSSES, LARRY….LET'S GET TO TdF!!! Best Wishes on your season. (We share a birthdate: June 28) ❤ THX Conor and GCN.
I love Crete already, but what an amazing way to see the island! A fantastic film, and really inspirational. Well done Conor and Larry!
Really enjoyed this… I'm just being lazy, but is there a komoot route for what they did or something? Would be super useful for trip planning
