| Bicycle Dreams |
|
| An Award Winning Film |
|
July 20 |
|
Bicycle Dreams commemorates the 30th edition of what is considered by many to be the most challenging sporting
event in the world. |
|
| The film, which has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, is a up-close look
at what RAAM (Race Across America) riders go through. They deal with searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of
open road. And they do it all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. It’s a great
subject for a film. |
