    Thank you for that it was brilliant. The guys were amazing to complete the ride so well. Quiet how the 1910 riders did it I don't know, pork chops perhaps.
    The filming and editing were a delight and the music was perfect. Now I am inspired to visit the area it look so beautiful, but I think I'll take a car.

    Showcased it here marktomlinson.com/2010/07/the-1910-challenge-on-vimeo/

    Thank you for the inspiration.

    I still just starting watch the video but I had to stop at the titles as I like your Profile name LoL. My name is Rafael was called your name only by my 2 people in my family. Americans tend to like "Rafee" instead of "Rapha". The video looks like its going to be good of course I have a reason to like it as well as I used to race back in the days of "Sew ups" and "Toe Clips with straps" I am also located in bicycle america central santa cruz ca. home of the mountain bikes, Dale Sasso frames,Slim tire gunk, Specialized bike co,and many many other custom frame builders and makers. Thanks a ahead of time for making a story of something I always wished I could have done myself.

    Those guys forgot to mention there was no "Team Vans" there were no team mechanics those guys carried their own spare tires strapped to their backs.. Riding a fixed gear all the way. Amazing.. I am sure they know this as well but its worth a mention. How many riders who have died on this climb.
