It's touching, sad, funny, so nice to see the scenery and riders.

I saw Bikegoddess in a scene on Day 1!!!

They show us starting out and there she was, standing in the pedals and passing someone in the first block of the ride

Funny moment in the theatre, they profile/follow an HIV+ rider, he's young, in his 20's and comments "I want to do this ride now so when I'm in my 40's and can't ride...."

Explosion of laughter behind me from the row of late 50's early 60's Pos Ped riders looking strong and fabulous.

If I was the editor at that comment cue the shot of rider Bert, still riding strong at 80+, or Bikegoddess speeds in, leaps off her bike, takes off the helmet fwoosh, grey hair.

I was disconcerted by mixing up scenes, like riders arriving at camp on Day 1 (Aptos) then a scene of setting tents up....pretty sure shot in Ventura which is day 6.

But if you haven't done the ride you won't notice that.

TE gals may find subtitles with explanations like "a Century is a 100 mile ride" irritating but this is meant for the non-cycling public.

I also hope they profile riders who have done the ride many times. So far mostly 1st time riders interviewed.

But...over all, pretty good.

Catches much of the flavor of why we ride this and other rides.
