A new bicycle adventure film “Ride the Divide” will be shown on April 12th at 6 and 8 pm at the Pageant Theater in Downtown Chico as a partial benefit for the Butte Bicycle Coalition.

Ride the Divide is a feature-length documentary about the world’s toughest mountain bike race.  It chronicles the story of several mountain bikers who attempt the 2,711-mile race named the Tour Divide along the Continental Divide in the Rocky Mountains.  The movie was named the Best Adventure Film at the 2010 Vail Film Festival.

This film has become an instant cycling classic, and made its television premiere in September on the Documentary Channel.  But the Adventure Cycling Association said the film should be seen on the big screen:  “The cinematography is stunning!” Added UpaDowna, “Ride The Divide is one of the most inspiring real cycling movies … in a long time.”   Epic Riding summed the movie up as follows:  “In a word? Fantastic. In more words?  Moving, funny, inspiring.”

Tickets are $10 in advance online at:
www.IMAthlete.com/Events/RideTheDividemovie
and $15 at the door before screenings at 6 and 8 pm on April 12 at the Pageant.

Please help spread the word.

Description:

Michael Pollan, a professor of journalism and a student of food, presents the history of four plants, each of which found a way to make itself essential to humans, thus ensuring widespread propagation. Apples, for sweetness; tulips, for beauty; marijuana, for pleasure; and, potatoes, for sustenance. Each has a story of discovery and adaptation; each has a symbiotic relationship with human civilization. The film tells these stories and examines these relationships.
