I'm trying to find a video I remember watching online a couple of years back.

It featured a young kid struggling up a hill on his bike. He may have been on his paper round in the morning, not sure. He's breathing heavily and thinking about giving up.

An experienced rider cycles up alongside him and stays with him up the hill. He's silent, I think, but his presence is enough to encourage the kid to make it to the top.

Then the experienced rider disappears and the kid rides down the other side, heads for home, walks past the washing on the line to put his bike away in the outhouse, collects his stuff and heads off to school.

I may have remembered some of it wrong but it's something like that. I thought it might be a Rapha vid but I can't find it so maybe not.

Anyone remember it or find a link to it?

Awesome! Thank you so much.

It's even better than I remembered as I don't think I'd seen the first four or five minutes originally.

A lovely piece of film and fantsatic scenery.

Think that vid puts me right off cycling! Way to wet and the riders looked a right set of miserys,they need to get some mudguards and cheer up a bit :-)
