The Bikes of Wrath is a video series following 5 riders who set out with just $400 to ride from Oklahoma to California in honor of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath

I can't stand how positive he is (yes mate, waking up is good, we get it) but there are some good bits of film in there.

Jeans with d-locks, shit traffic, rollapaluza, I can smell the pm2.5 from here!

Loved it.

It was still called 'Goldsprints' back then.

Is that Rapsac at 0:25 (and again later)?

It's a friends video, I was still eating packed lunches at play time in primary school in 2004.

Looks like it.

It was a year before I arrived but I think I was at a later race in the same location. Definitely before there was a Rollapaluza.

some dirty spivs ( trilbies, pencil moustaches, suited and booted you know the look ) are stealing bikes, it's down to the gang of bike chums to solve the mystery, some decent cycle speedway action by the burton bullets, some classic british steel on display

Does anyone remember the name of the 60s/70s film about a time trial? It’s escaped me.

60s/70s film about a time trial

Any other info? Where was it set? English language?

I think it’s about a TT in the TdF, English commentary. Artfully edited and narrated. Colour. About an hour long, possibly 45 mins or the length of the TT run.

I've seen a few of these but I'm struggling to think of one specifically on a TT:

Stars & Water Carriers was the first one that sprang to mind, but it's not specific to a TT.

0h33m the TT section starts

I don’t think it is that one but I’d forgotten about that film so will give it another watch at the weekend to check. Thanks.

There is a long section in Stars and Watercarriers, I think, about a time trial. It might be La Course en Tete though. One of the Merckx films at least.

There's also

from La Course En Tete

Or this from The Impossible Hour
