The Ride-No Opportunity Wasted

[Bike Chick]

Has anyone seen this movie? The trailer really looks great.

I have not seen it, but the trailer reminds me of "Bicycle dreams"... which was OK, interesting to watch, just not for the $25 the DVD costs (major buyers remorse). For the cost of the rental, it might be worth it.

YES!!! I got to see this movie in Eagan, Minnesota a few weeks ago for a special premier showing. Phil was even there to speak about the movie and the experience. I even got a photo of him with our cycling team

I will tell you right now that this movie will motivate you like nothing you've seen before. I absolutely, positively, LOVED it. It was entertaining, heart-warming, touching, funny, and I wanted more. I suppose you could argue that having Phil there made the experience more rewarding, but I am looking forward to watching this a second, third, fourth, time.

It's available to rent ($3.99) or own ($11.99) on amazon right now. As of this post, 22 5-star ratings.

Thanks for letting us know.

i downloaded it to my ipod as soon as i heard of it and have watched it 3 times already. (but i also have seen "hell on wheels" prob'ly a dozen times, "overcoming" even more and the one about raam - "bicycle dreams"? -prob'ly half a dozen. i love em all!)

i really liked The Ride and I didn't even know it was with Phil Keoghan (the moderator on "Amazing Race" and a verrrrry strong rider) beforehand. i thought the film was too short, i would love to see much much more of his adventure.

and he raised over $400,000 for MS. very cool. my aunt has MS.
