Newest Rapha short.

If you're going out in 90 degree heat this weekend, it may help to watch this beforehand.

Oh, yeah... the usual evocative Rapha cinematography...

Recommended. Don't quite understand the narration but the camera work offers nice views of the surrounding area.

Gee thwart, 90 degrees,you must have never been to San Francisco in the summer, looks and feels much like that video. Just returned from a ride up and over twin peaks to the Ocean and back . Maybe only a 14 mile ride but felt more like 50 fighting the winds.

expected a new short for hot weather myself. Very slick. I liked the sound track. Glenn Gould and his idea of north was very appropriate for the countryside. Would love to ride there myself.

Wow...Those guys on those rain slick roads and not wearing a helmet!

How did they ever make it thru?

Must be the shorts they were wearing! :p

First off, when I were a lad 4 of those guys would be sent home for not having fenders! And what a miserable lot to have to share a ride with.
Reminds me so very much of living and cycling on the west coast of Ireland. The video has been so beautifully shot, really catching the feel for the place. The scent of the bracken and yellow furze is strong.
