Coolest thing I've seen posted here in a long time. Makes me want to go back to big sky country this summer.

Nice! I'd totally forgotten how beautiful that road is. Last time I was there was oh so long ago, maybe '65 (that hurts, realising the time that's passed). Makes me want to ride that road, which I've never done, only in a car. Also can't believe a film was made in the states to promote a bike and the riders aren't wearing shells! Lovely, I like that. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for reviving that memory, I did that ride in '89, thank god I wasn't racing it and could look around. One of the most beautiful roads I've ever been on.

Nice scenery, too bad the manufactured Rapha EpicŪ was thicker than a glacier. :rolleyes:

Lovely video . . . I rode around Glacier last year, up the Going to the Sun Road, through Canada, etc. . . One of the best experiences of my life. I had never been to Glacier before, or ridden up a real mountain. Everything about the experience was fabulous.

Thanks for posting.

I love this kind of stuff, even if a little over-wrought.

I like that Steve is trying some new things, though I think I'd still prefer a Hampsten branded steel or Ti frame from his work shop.

Yeah, it's a little too Epic-y with the pained looks on their faces, but beautiful scenery and wonderful cinematography. The scenery and weather remind me of several rides in France, Italy, and Spain. However, I'm pretty sure I was smiling non-stop.

Spring time that is, is the best time to ride up there because the road is closed to cars. I think there is about another week or two left before they open for the summer season.
