It was a battle of attrition.
Out of the 161 that started, only 41 crossed the finish line.

Yes; I wanna go.
Where's it showing?

 

[cyclingday]

For us in this area, the Regal Cinema in the Long Beach Towne Center on Thursday Nov. 9th.
I'm just not sure of the time yet.
It sounds like they are going to be showing it at selected theatres nation wide.
So, just google the film and follow the leads to find out where it's playing near you.
There is a trailer for the film to see, but I didn't know how to post it here.
I just liked, that they were retracing as much of the original route as possible on vintage bikes of the period.
That had to be brutal!
