This is, in my opinion, the best mountain bike film that's ever been made. And I've seen a lot of them. Mark your calendar...

WEBCYCLERY MOVIE NIGHT @ McMENAMINS
24 SOLO
McMenamins Old St. Francis School Movie Theater
Bend, Oregon
9:00 p.m. | $5 per person | 21 & over
Back by popular demand, WebCyclery and Light & Motion bring you an encore screening of 24 Solo.
24 Solo follows the gut-wrenching story of Trek rider Chris Eatough and his quest for a 7th World Title in the unforgiving discipline of 24 Hour Solo mountain bike racing.
Shot on locations in China, California, Wisconsin, Maryland and Georgia using High Def cameras, 24 Solo shows the passion, excitement and intensity of the most grueling event in mountain biking. You don't have to be a cycling fan to be blown away by this incredibly intense film.
Two years ago when WebCyclery brought this film to McMenamins for the first time the lines were so long it forced us to turn away a bunch of you. Here's another showing for the rest of you - and a chance for a lot of us to see it again.
Kevin Gorman, a film critic known for his thumbs-up and thumbs-down reviews with his brother and fellow critic, Mean Todd, has praised 24 Solo and heralded it as "The sweetest 24 hour solo mountain bike racing movie ever!" Mean Todd continued the accolades and added, "As long as you're going to be at McMenamins drinking a beer, you might was well be watching 24 Solo at the same time."
While WebCyclery Movie Night at McMenamins is a monthly fund raiser for Central Oregon Trail Alliance (cotamtb.com), it is mostly an excuse to get together with a theater full of like-minded cyclists to watch a great bicycle movie, have a cold beverage, raise some money for local trails, and maybe win a door prize from Light & Motion.
