The film screens at 6:30 pm on Thursday, November 9.  It’s a great film dedicated to cyclists everywhere, and we hope that The Wheelmen will turn out on November 9 for this one-night-only opportunity to see it.

Shot and scored beautifully, the film recounts Phil's attempt to recreate the actual route of the 1928 Tour de France, 3,300+ grueling miles, on vintage (actual 1928 models) bikes with no modern upgrades.  With just a small camera crew alongside them, Phil and his friend Ben trace the course in the same way the riders did in 1928, matching the mileage covered day-for-day, sometimes riding 20+ hours into the darkness in order to remain faithful to the original route and timing.

The company's success has grown tremendously and earlier this year they launched in the UK, and now — with the film — they are launching in North America.
