Inspired to Ride

A film by Mike Dion

4233 miles. 10 states. coast to coast

From the filmmaking team of the Award-Winning feature RIDE THE DIVIDE.

Forty—five cyclists from around the world set out on the inaugural Trans Am Bike Race, following the famed TransAmerica Trail. Their mission is to cover 4,233 miles in one enormous stage race, traversing through ten states in a transcontinental adventure of epic proportions. INSPIRED TO RIDE follows closely the journey of a handful of these cyclists as they prepare, compete and experience what riding 300 miles a day feels like with only a few hours sleep.

These racers rely solely on their fitness, meticulously chosen gear and mental fortitude to get them to the finish. There are no support teams, no follow vehicles and no prize money waiting at the end. They endure the agonizing slopes and sleet of the Rockies, the driving winds and heat of the Great Plains, and the saw tooth switchbacks of the Appalachians all for a pat on the back, bragging rights and a cold beer when its all over. Some are out to win, while others are simply trying to finish.
