RAAM Documentary

There's a RAAM documentary playing this Saturday in Uptown (Minneapolis). It's a film called Bicycle Dreams by Stephen Auerbach. Here's the official description:

"They are seekers, madmen, and angels hell-bent on riding across America on a bicycle in less than ten days. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime is transformed in an instant when tragedy strikes the race. These voyagers discover what is truly at stake as they pedal on, praying for the deliverance only the finish line can bring. By journey's end, some are saved, others are lost, but all learn that the fuel that takes a soul toward its own true destiny is desire."

The screening is part of the Solstice film festival. Details are here. Check it out.

I got pictures from the start. Do you want me to email them to you so you can get them up on the blog?

That movie sounds like a real drip. On a separate note I spoke with both crews today (resting and active). Bob Mackie sounded rather lucid and positive despite the tired gravelled voice. The active crew gave me a call around 8.30am because Btron wanted some wheel advice for the day. Winds were 15 miles per hour and generally a head wind. It sounded like it has been a difficult day for all of the riders.
