Landry's Bicycles presents
"Bicycle Dreams"
7:00 p.m. Sunday, November 14, 2010
Razzo Hall, 92 Downing St.,
Clark University, Worcester, Mass.

"Bicycle Dreams," the true story of the Race Across America, will be screened at 7:00 p.m. Sunday, November 14, in Razzo Hall, 92 Downing St., Clark University, Worcester, Mass. The award-winning documentary film by Stephen Auerbach follows a handful of seekers on a transformative journey -- a grueling 3,000-mile bicycle race that has been deemed the most challenging sporting event in the world. While exploring how and why endurance athletes push their limits, the movie goes beyond cycling and celebrates the human spirit.

Q&A with RAAM rider Patrick Autissier of Boston will follow the screening. In his rookie year in the race chronicled by "Bicycle Dreams," Autissier approaches the physical, mental and emotional challenges differently than his competitors, and a compelling drama results. An accomplished triathlete, a husband and a father of two, and now a manager in the biology department at Boston College, Autissier draws inspiration from the quest for an HIV vaccine. He was the first Frenchman to enter the Race Across America and has crossed the finish line both as a solo competitor and a team entrant.

Tickets are $7.50 online, $10 at the door. Proceeds benefit the Major Taylor Association.

Very good film. I am a 2 man RAAM finisher in 2004 - and this movie captures the essence of the race very very nicely. The mind plays many games out there a few days into the race.......

Enjoy it...........
