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

Silliness in the Pyrenees from Josh Ibbett and Hamish Paine

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).

Q&A: Transcontinental rider Josh Ibbett

Shot in the Pyrenees, it also has a cameo appearance by cycling photographer Camille McMillan.

See how many references to the original movie you can find.

Earlier this year, Paine and Ibbett rode from Calais to Eurobike in from Calais to Friedrichshafen in southern Germany as shown in the video below – there’s also an account of their trip here.
