Bicycle Dreams is an amazing film for many reasons. The film encompasses the details of the Race Across America, an epic, 3000-mile bicycle race from the west coast to the east . The Race Across America was first held in 1982. It is considered the most challenging sporting event in the world. Top riders finish in under 10 days, riding over 300 miles per day and sleeping only a few hours each night.
The production captured footage from 18 cameras embedded in riders’ support van providing the end viewer with a very real sense of the drama endured by the riders.
Richmonders have a unique opportunity to catch the award winning documentary at the Byrd Theatre in a special screening on May 5th.
This screening is made possible by a generous donation by The Cox Dunbar Group at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, all proceeds benefit Richmond Pro Cycling outreach missions with the Boys and Girls Club of Richmond.
Tickets available online here.
