Great documentary and amazing race! I plan to do this ride for my ow personal achievement, trying for under 14 days. A support van, crew of 3 a few extra bikes and a decent budget for the run... HM, 15,000 miles so far on the road...
Oh my goodness I've been asking my friends that question did they ever feel that missing a "hole" and they all said yes they have, but not anymore and it's all thanks to Jesus ^_^ I felt it very very deeply.. it bothered me for months, but not no more thanks to Jesus :D.
Winner of 5 raams, including 2010, Jure Robic was killed in a traffic accident on a forest road near his home. May he rest in peace. He will be missed.
i heard about this on radiolab, the bicyclist's necks give out and have to duck tape their necks to their backs so that they can stare straight ahead. INTENSE! these guys are warriors
The RAAM is a dark distant distant cousin of the mainstream media Cycling you see in Europe. ULTRA Cycling, as it's known is huge actually. Starting with the 1200km Paris Brest Paris, which was established before the T.D.F., look it up. Ultra is more like climbing Everest, there are no prizes, if you live and you summit, that is your prize. The glory is yours, not the medias. It's more than a bicycle race. And believe me, many Pro's have gone to RAAM, and not finished.
the tour de france is a few weeks of racing every day for a few hours. in this race he said that for 24 hours the guy was riding all but 8 minutes. that sounds like a different race than the tour de france.
Yeap, but I personally think that the athletes of the Tour are better prepared than you, think about it, those guys have a lot of money and time for training, I dont try to say that your race is bad, but in the tour they have top of the line racers, instead this kind of races is more heart and soul than competition...
@ryryhart Although your correction of the guy's sentence was correct, you are wrong about worst not being a word. Would you like me to use in a context you can understand? You are the worst speller.
Saw this yesterday at Little Roxy, San Francisco. Awesome film. Cindi Stainger, the 1988 RAAM winner, said it's the best she's ever seen for showing the true experience of RAAM. Great life lessons. Buy it now! I did. Can't wait to see it again.
Bicycle Dreams will be available on DVD on May 25th. More screenings and festivals will be announced soon as well. check out our website listed in the info box to the right of the video for all the details. thanks for watching!

I fucking love biking, but I didn't know that cyclists were amateur metaphysicians.

topbox media are filming the design, build and first land speed record attempt for a 100% wooden bicycle.
"No bolts or screws, just wood and glues!" as Michael Thompson the bike's creator says.
View our profile to watch a short teaser to raise awareness and help raise some money for the charity "Shelter Box."
The resulting documentary will I'm certain be very, very entertaining...
