Screening of Le Ride with Phil Keoghan

Hi All!

I wanted to reach out and extend an invitation to anyone interested in attending a special screening of Le Ride which we will be presenting alongside fellow Kiwi and host of the Amazing Race, Phil Keoghan next Wednesday, 14th April at 7 PM at the Regal Gallery Place Stadium 14 Cinema in Washington DC. (Gallery Place, 701 7th St NW, Washington, DC 20001.)

Le Ride is an excellent documentary which follows Phil Keoghan and his friend Ben Cornell as they attempt to recreate the original route of the 1928 Tour de France. Averaging 240 kilometres a day for 26 days, Phil and Ben traverse both the unforgiving mountains of the Pyrenees and the Alps, on original vintage steel racing bikes with no gears and marginal brakes. The documentary takes inspiration from the remarkable true story of Australians Sir Hubert Opperman, Ernie Bainbridge and Percy Osborne, and New Zealander Harry Watson as the first English-speaking team to compete in the Tour de France. They arrived after six weeks at sea, under-trained and under-resourced, untested and completely written off by the French media. The 1928 Tour was the toughest in history – a hell on wheels race of attrition. Only 41 finished out of 161 starters yet remarkably three were from the Australasian team. This extraordinary story of achievement against the odds has never been told on film – until now.

The Documentary will be followed by a Q+A with Phil Keoghan and tickets can be purchased at http://www.fandango.com/regalgalleryplacestadium14_aatar/theaterpage?date=4/19/2017

Would love to meet some people form the community there!

Does anyone know where else I can let people know this is on?

Thanks!
Jonathan
