Imagine pedaling 4,233 miles across 10 states in 16 days powered only by legs, lungs and grit. “Inspired To Ride,” a soulful documentary, tells the story of 45 bike enthusiasts who do just this during the inaugural Trans Am Bike Race, an unsupported, grassroots traverse of the country via the unforgiving Trans America Trail. Starting November 13, people across the globe can get in on the action by downloading the film on iTunes, buying it on Amazon (DVD and On Demand) and by viewing it on cable and in select theatres. “The film is just as much about the fantastic athletes who take on this adventure, as it is about what you can see and experience if you go exploring on a bicycle,” says producer and director Mike Dion of Ride the Divide. “I hope the film stirs up wanderlust about travel by bicycle and inspires viewers to push further than they would.” For more info and cool merchandise, go to: InspiredToRide.it
