Looking good. Are we looking at a "full" film in the near future of this ride?

Awe inspiring, both this effort and the tough buggers who did it 100 years before.

What a beautiful adventure, and made under sometimes challenging conditions that only seemed to heighten the near-surreal mood.
I loved the retro-look with some of the Brooks gear, including the D-Shaped boxes used, not on the saddles, but on the handlebars.
I'm guessing the bikes on the original ride put the riders in a more upright position. The seat-to-bar drop on the bikes on the 2010 attempt attest to the riders ability to maintain flexibility over the long haul.
