It’s back! Bicycle Dreams at the Drafthouse

Bicycle Dreams, the award-winning feature-length documentary about the Race Across America (RAAM), will make a triumphant return to Arlington on Thursday, March 14 at 7:15 p.m. when the film screens at the Arlington Drafthouse. The film sold out when it made its first appearance at the Drafthouse in 2012, so get your ticket early. The event is a benefit for Team 4Mil, the team of wounded warriors that has competed in RAAM for the past three years.

The film, which has won numerous awards at film festivals all over the world, “is an up-close look at what RAAM riders go through,” says Stephen Auerbach, the director and producer of Bicycle Dreams. “They deal with searing desert heat, agonizing mountain climbs, and endless stretches of open road. And they do it all while battling extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation. It’s a great subject for a film.”

Tickets will be $10 in advance and $15 at the door the night of the show. To purchase advance tickets, order online at http://www.arlingtondrafthouse.com. The Arlington Drafthouse is located at 2903 Columbia Pike in Arlington.

The mission of Team4Mil is to support wounded veterans and their families through cycling and competitive events. The capstone event, of course, is Race Across America, in which Team 4Mil will enter two teams in the 2013 event. For more information, go to http://www.team4mil.org.
