So, the California Science Center is showing a movie about surviving the Tour de France... Given that some of the people around here actually *ride* their bikes. It sounds like this could be worked into a ride in the future... The movie is showing daily at 11.30, 2.30 and 4.30 until October 4th.

I'm not sure about a date yet, but if anyone wants to suggest something...

oh, and did I mention it's an IMAX!!!

Do-it. Post the ride. People will come. I'd be interested. 12+ bucks is pricey for a film, but that's cool.

this movie is a must see for "roadies"...

it breaks down scientifically the things that happen in the human body, and relates it to two different cyclists that took part in the 2005 Tour De France (I think it was the 2005 one)...

it utilizes real film footage along with some recreated scenery...

the IMAX imagery is quite amazing...

without the extra "L" the flier gets around faster, like lance and his one testicle.

If anyone has suggestions on a ride route I'd definitely like the imput, I'm kinda new to these things...

Thanks for throwing a great ride, Eric. I liked the movie but you have to admit the book was better...

Pissing has never felt so excellent ever since. Thanks for organizing Eric. Remember, we should have Ride 2.0 in the alps for a splendid 70 km of uphill, and we need a helicopter to capturing dramatic sweeping camera angles of us doing it.

I finally got my pictures up for the I Piss Excellence Ride. Cole was awesome on the high wire bicycle. I'll have to try that out next time I go there, looked fun.
