Summer Solstice Film Festival

This email was sent to me, if your a film buff, check it out, pretty cool.

Hi. I'm the producer of a new film called “Bicycle Dreams.” It’s a documentary about the Race Across America, a cross country bicycle race that challenges riders to cover 3000 miles in under ten days. The film looks at the motivations of the riders and their dedicated crews, exploring what it takes both physically and mentally to deal with the extreme challenges of this incredible race.

I’m writing to you because the film will be playing this week at the Solstice Film Festival in Minneapolis and we’re looking for the support of the local cycling community. There seem to be very few cycling films out there so we look at this as an opportunity to bring local bike enthusiasts together.

“Bicycle Dreams” will be playing Saturday June 20th at 11AM at the Suburban World Theater. For tickets and more information, go to www.solsticefilmfest.org/

To watch a trailer for the film go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ZWZrKSxxs. And if you're interested in the film but can't make it to the screening, DVDs are available on our website, www.bicycledreamsmovie.com

If you can pass this info on to the members of your club or post it on your website, I’d really appreciate it. “Bicycle Dreams” is a film that really captures the spirit of cycling and the dedication required to commit to it, so I’m doing everything I can to reach out to the cycling community. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments and thanks for your time!

Trails, Rides and Clinics

Spring is in full swing and we are even getting day's that feel like Summer! A few clinics for you to be aware of and also check the message board as I've heard the Monday night Mountain Bike ride is being revived. Feel free to post ride times on the message board. The MTB trails are in great shape. We will be planning some mowing and clipping dates very soon so check back. The grass is getting pretty tall down a the River Bluffs/Plum Creek Trails.

The Apple Duathlon is taking place this Saturday, so if you want to volunteer or race the event check it out!

The State Criterium Championships will be in downtown St. Cloud this year on Sunday June 28th. If you want to race or volunteer save this date. This race is put on by the Grandstay Cycling Team based out of St. Cloud.

Plum Creek Trail Work

Thanks to all who took the time to come out and clean up the River Bluff's/ Plum Creek trail this evening. We had a total of 11 people show up and we worked for 1.5 hours.

This trail and the N. Loop are in really great shape right now so you don't have any excuses not to be out riding!

Oh, If you are not a member there are membership forms at both trail heads in the white tubes or go here to download a membership form and send it in!

THANKS!
