Video: In Search of the Holy Gravel - cycling goes all Monty Python

Here’s some silliness for a Monday lunchtime – a video that gives a cycling take on a classic Monty Python, renamed In Search of the Holy Gravel.

The film features Hunt Bike Wheels ambassador Hamish Paine and brand manager Josh Ibbett (winner of this year’s Transcontinental race).
