The Ride of a Thousand Cols

[@kevinbrand4038]

People ask me why I love cycling, this film communicates it perfectly. Brilliant!

[@diogofernandes9048]

The feelling when you're at the top of a mountain is unbelievable. Climbing a mountain in your bike while you smile is incredible. Thanks Rapha for sharing your passion. We don't suffer in our bikes. We dream. We just smile.

[@paulfabb2317]

Rapha always deliver on the cinematography front, but this one stood out for me....I like to climb, the pure rhythm of being out of the saddle and ‘sashaying’ side 2 side gets me into a zone I can never really explain. Top film Rapha!

[@toosoontoolate5635]

Thanks a lot!

[@ericlesauvagelostfiles201]

Congratulations to the filmmakers, majestic work!

[@ramsesm]

Beautiful short and beautiful story... inspiring.

[@Ossiningbjj]

Beautiful insight! I think of this video on my hard climbs at times. Thanks Phil Deeker. By far, one of the best short films by Rapha.

Pure inspiration, love the film

[@mrmarzo]

"Rhythm of the road" -the true enjoyment of riding.

[@pyasashaitaan]

While the cinematography is stunning (as usual) it's the way it's built into the story that truly makes it stand out. I loved the lonely long shots and the scenery that whizzes past. Subtle yet beautiful..I wish you guys would talk on how you think for these films and share some of your processes and ideas.

[@jag1870]

Beautifully shot!

[@Ossiningbjj]

Love this video! It’s very inspiring

[@AdamHuberYouTuber]

[@danielbarinas162]

Café de Colombia! such a powerful video, makes me wanna drop everything, leave everything behind and just take my bike, wherever i may roam surely i'll be the perfect place.

[@2008happyindia]

pure emotion....respect....

[@on10-to-the-many50]

Right! Beautiful to hear this outside of my own head: You cannot conquer a mountain. No human can. It is a mountain. It is enormous. It exists in a time-scale far beyond our own. Therefore, any claim of conquest a human states is a futile gesture towards a mountain, since we humans are merely witnesses of moments of their great existence. Fulfilment... I want to add: Experiencing the mountains presence is a majestic experience that fills my heart and touches my soul. That, to me, is fulfilling - I very much agree. B.t.w., where the heck do the first couple of sentences come from? Sounds like something unreal from a distant, old soul. (this is very poetic Mr. Deeker. Not even the product placement was able to take that away ;)

[@UweGranzowfilms]

Excellent vid - emotions pure!

[@coquearrizabalaga529]

[@TheFujiwuji]

What is a col?

[@EternalInfusion]

A passage from a valley to a valley across mountains.

[@TheFujiwuji]

@@EternalInfusion So a col is a road that goes over a mountain? Connecting two valleys?

[@EternalInfusion]

@@TheFujiwuji yes basically the most efficient path between two valleys separated by mountains

[@danchung42]

Rapha films make me want to ride my bike… and speak with a British accent.

[@yerlnyslinarez]

Wooowww

[@benjohnson3839]

Beautiful short film. No excuses now for me to take train instead of the bicycle this morning because I’m a little tired.....

[@Alex-vq9vj]

Loved the imagery and the narrative. You've captured some really stunning visuals! And an essential part most cyclists would've never imagined to like at the beginning of their passion. That said: What really threw me out of the beautiful story told was a sudden visual transition. Protagonist goes from a realistic, physically non-perfect older cyclist riding with normal guys I can imagine to be his actual cycling companions and peers - to suddenly being surrounded by and riding with a bunch of handsome fitness male models 30 years his junior! That was jarring and seemed disingenuous. And totally unnecessary imo

[@mpberlin]

Silk.

[@hardcho]

Café de Colombia

[@konradmarais7726]

POES BOOOORING!!!

[@TheHaining]

Don't mean to be rude but I honestly feel that this is 6 minutes of pretentious drivel - just get on your bike and get on with it, mate.

[@ciccioformaccio7527]

a real nonsense

[@istegalkarl]

Another MAMIL. But a fit one though.
