Just saw it and loved it. The guy is SHARP for being in his 80's.

Taking bikes across great vast deserts, fording bodies of water in a raft with your bike... reminds me of the hipster stuff I see on Instagram today except it was done 50+ years ago without vintage Land Cruisers, tattoos, or bottles of Topo Chico.

Yeah, easily my favourite Rapha video in a long time. I love the Rough Stuff Fellowship slide archive. Some fantastic photos.

Excellent video
Amazing that the one guy in a suit did it solo in 1933. Tough. As. Nails.

So cool. I hope Rapha does more of these types of videos like they did in the past. They are so cool and inspirational.

That was cool.

Underneath it all is the Rough Stuff Fellowship.

Check them out here ... https://www.rsf.org.uk

That was well done. Some of those photos from the 1933 expedition would look great hanging as a print in my office... Really inspiring stuff.
