Good Morning,
After seeing the success and enthusiasm for the limited showings of Race Across the Sky I have decided to put together a second tour that brings the movie to small mountain towns, where a lot of the core cycling community lives. Between sponsors and the PR firms I have helping me, I am extremely thankful for getting this show on the road! Yesterday, my best friend and production manager for the movie tour officially confirmed theaters in Sun Valley, Park City and Jackson Hole as stops on the Race Across the Sky movie tour! I just have a couple more towns to confirm and the tour route will be complete. Specialized has come on board as the presenting sponsor for the tour. Ergon, Red Bull and Adventure Medical Kits are also helping make this happen! Official times, locations and dates will be coming really soon.
I also came to the scary realization that in 2.5 weeks I will be starting a 5-day mountain bike stage race in Argentina, called the Trans Andes Challenge. I’m not proud to say it, but I have not touched a bike in about a month. I have been skiing, doing some off-season gym work and sort of staying active, but definitely not training. This race is absolutely a training race, but the thought of that much riding this early in the season is a little daunting. I vowed today that I will not watch any TV for the next two weeks, unless I’m on the trainer. Luckily, my teammate for this race, Jenny Smith, also lives in a really cold and snowy environment so we’ll both be jumping on the bikes for the first ride of the year as we line up at the start!
I’m going to watch TV and spin right now! Probably a bit of Grey’s Anatomy. I sort of feel like I’m studying my EMT stuff when I watch that show. At least I understand most of the medical terms they use. I also did a small photo shoot for Fitness Magazine yesterday with my friend Nate Galpin at the Fire Department, needless to say the other engineers were making fun of me! Check out the video trailer below, and I hope to see you at the showings.
Thanks Rebecca, for bringing the “Race across the Sky” tour back on the road! Would love to see another location in Colorado, say perhaps Grand Junction-Fruita area :) Large mountain and road biking community here with biking practically year-round, and a great old downtown theater in the Avalon.
Hey, is Asheville NC an option for the tour? there is a theatre brew pub here that would be a perfect venue. I’ve also got another question that i don’t want the world to see, would you send me an e-mail?
thanks,
Stephen
Hi Solanus,
Thanks for the advice and no need to feel sorry. All the niggles add an edge Smiling to the internet experience. My initial post was just to make sure that I wasn’t missing out on a preferable means of downloading due to inexperience of how portableapps.com works. (We also have “state-sponsored” power-outages that let me download uninterruptedly via stable supply from the inverter.) So all said and done, I manage okay. Thanks once again for the concern.
