Looks great - really well shot, Mountains look amazing, Rapha kit looks pretty bloody good too.

Makes me really want to get out there....

    Puts my wee birl tonight to shame :oops:

    Good on the guys and puts things into perspective.

    2 hours quicker in 1910 on those bikes and high gearing? Wow :shock:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Wow incredible.

    Sums up what bikelng's all about, the history, the effort the passion. Super. Nice find mroli.

    Love the shot with the hefty dog outside the boulangerie.

    I've ridden those climbs in similar weather – a week of it all the way from the Atlantic, it felt and looked more like North Wales. Mind over matter stuff, as I had accommodation pre-booked so had to ride up into the clouds and rain each day knowing it would be bloody freezing on the descents.

    Just watched that on my tv in HD, fantastic. Now I want to go cycling!! Not in the rain though, or the cold, or up through those big mountains for 350kms............. I think I'll stay in :lol:
    There was another good Rapha one posted a few months ago wasn't there? A team race or something in the USA countryside. That was nice as well.

    It's a nice promo video but chapeau to Rapha for doing all this stuff with frame-makers etc. The Vail - Vail video on the Rapha site looks good as well. The 1910 is a bit more hardcore.

    Thanks for sharing...I daren't normally visit the Rapha site due to the temptation.

    I wonder if we can expect C+ to do an article on pork chops being the latest superfood then? From the commentary, it seems they helped the guys in 1910 with their efforts.
