Support The Major Taylor Association, “Bicycle Dreams” Film Screening In Worcester
Written by Boston Biker on Oct 22If you are out in Worcester next month, be sure to stop by and support the Major Taylor association, they do good work.
—————————-
Landry’s Bicycles presents the film “Bicycle Dreams,” the true story of the Race Across America, at 7:00 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14, in Razzo Hall, 92 Downing St., Clark University, Worcester. The award-winning documentary film by Stephen Auerbach, exploring how and why endurance athletes push their limits, goes beyond cycling and celebrates the human spirit.
Q&A with RAAM rider Patrick Autissier of Boston, one of the riders featured in the film, will follow the screening. Autissier was the first Frenchman to enter the Race Across America and has crossed the finish line both as a solo competitor and a team entrant. In his rookie year in the race, Autissier approached the physical, mental and emotional challenges differently than his competitors, resulting in the compelling drama of “Bicycle Dreams.”
Tickets are $7.50 online, $10 at the door. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit Major Taylor Association.
