What I Watched -- Inspired to Ride

A lot of people have heard about the Race Across America, or RAAM.  It's a bike race from the west coast to the east.

Fewer people have heard of the Trans Am Bike Race.  It's an unsupported coast-to-coast ride, and Inspired to Ride is a documentary about the riders in its inaugural year.  They traveled 4,233 miles through 10 states.  The winner completed the race in fewer than 18 days, an average of 235 miles per day.

Bottom line: it's a pretty crazy story, and if you're into cycling, or sports, or people with bizarre amounts of drive to do even more bizarre things, this movie is for you.
