RIDE THE DIVIDE, AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY FILM, COMING TO SAN DIEGO FEB. 24
Ride The Divide, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the worlds toughest mountain bike race, will descend on San Diego on Thursday, February 24, at the Hillcrest Cinemas. The event will be a fundraiser for the San Diego Mountain Bike Association.
The film chronicles the story of several mountain bikers who attempt the 2,711-mile race named the Tour Divide along the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains. The movie was named the best adventure film at the 2010 Vail Film Festival.
Ride The Divide embraces the inspiring stories of three of the racers who experience the immense mountain beauty and small-town culture as they attempt to pedal from Banff, Canada, to a small, dusty crossing on the Mexican border. Theres Mike, a 40-year-old family man who uses this challenge to chart a new course in life; Matthew, a leader in extreme endurance racing whos competing for his fifth time; and Mary, the first female rider to race this route. As they set out, they will attempt to accomplish what very few have been able to. Over the course of a few weeks, theyll attempt to climb over 200,000 vertical feet along the backbone of the Rocky Mountains.
Theyll experience mental breakdowns, treacherous snow, hellacious blisters, and total fatigue. Above all, theyll race with no support at times in total isolation. The tests of endurance and the accomplished moments throughout Ride the Divide prompt us to reflect on our inner desires to live life to the fullest.
Ride The Divide will be shown at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Theatres Hillcrest Cinemas at 3965 5th Ave. in San Diego. Tickets are $15 at the door, and $10 in advance at www.IMAthlete.com/Events/RideTheDividemovie.
