Scenery alone makes it worth watching, no doubt...

The truth hurts. I liked the video, if I could just look past the overwrought fashionista "suffering" of the Rapha dudes. I like that there's finally a dudette though. And the music finally doesn't suck on this one, I would have picked Dvorak over Wagner though.

thwart,

Thanks for the link. I used to live in Prague and scenery in Bohemia is amazing. One day I want to go back with a bike and ride the country. The Czech Republic is incredible - great people, great beer, and ... (what else do you need?). :)

Beautiful scenery, nicely edited video. Too bad they couldn't have left the poseur cyclists out of it. :)

Geeez..if it didn't have Rapha on it I doubt anybody would have said anything about 'Posseur cyclists'.

I liked it, even the guy with spam on his bicycle. We should all be so lucky to do that ride and have that lunch.

Hell of a lot better than anything produced by any other cycling clothes company.

And he's a genuine Bohemian!

(Had to look it up, since he's generally most closely associated with Linz.)

I'll assume your kidding about the poseur part...cuz they actually rode, they didn't lounge around a cafe. I've met some Rapha dudes, not a poseur amongst them.

I've met some Rapha dudes, not a poseur amongst them.By "poseur" I meant that they take themselves far too seriously. They have that unsmiling "glory through suffering" look on their faces (of course the film editor tried to show that as much as possible). It's just a fun group ride through beautiful countryside, not a professional race! No need to act like a martyr.

Yep, they really looked like they were suffering when they tipped the cool, local brew, and nodded off in the wee nap one of them took.

Hahaha Thwart
Agree! The large exhales exhales while drinking beer, but it's Rapha! I don't martyr myself that much and I'm a girl.
They always have great cinematography and locations though. I'd love it if they'd sell their films through their stores or website! I'd like to show others some of the films(not everyone has Internet)
