I really want to see this movie. I wish it was playing in the Sacramento area. It's playing in San Jose, about 2 1/2 hours away. I may have to plan a day trip.

Hey SoCal'ers... Tour de France IMAX movie!
To disable ads, please log-in.
The Reuben H Fleet Space Theater in Balboa Park is now showing "Wired to Win"... which follows Baden Cooke and a teammate thru a Tour de France analyzing what it takes physically and mentally to compete at this level... I am going tomorrow night with some cycling friends... and I've heard from others that this is very well done! I guess some of it gets a little medically technical with the brain waves etc... (cool by me, I find it facinating!) but there are scenes on following them downhill outta the Alps that are ridiculous! WOOT!
anyway, just thought maybe some of ya down this way would enjoy it!

Indy... I went to see this on Friday night with some friends... it was pretty neat! I enjoyed not just the Tour parts, but also the parts about how the brain learns and overcomes based on prior experiences... I was actually able to relate to alot of what was said as it pertains to riding...
overall, just very well done... it follows the 2003 Tour...
hope you get to see it!

I thought I heard it was originally going to feature Tyler Hamilton, but they had to change riders after his fall from grace. I hope it makes it up to NorCal!
