Ride of my life

BBC4 featured a series of cycling programmes last night. One focussed on Author Rob Penn building his dream bike and travelling around the world visiting Brooks, Brian Rourke, Campy and Cinelli to name a few. The final outcome wasn't to my taste but the documentation and the behind the scenes shots are well worth a watch.

Catch it on iplayer here. There was also a programme about the tragic death of Tom Simpson on Ventoux but that doesn't seem to be available as yet...
