New Cycling Film to Screen in Framingham
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – (June 11, 2003) As part of continued commitment in the world of cycling, the
Minuteman Road Club is pleased to bring to our area a featured-length documentary film "The Hard
Road". If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a pro cyclist, this is your chance.
The Hard Road follows a first year professional cycling team through an entire season, documenting
their struggle to pursue a dream at any cost. While the canvas of the film is the gritty subculture
of American professional bike racing, what arise are issues of loyalty, integrity, commitment, and
self-knowledge in a singularly self-sufficient world in which justice is meted out by the sport
itself. Follow the riders into their homes and hotel rooms; along in the van and behind the scenes
of the races for an inside look at their camaraderie and triumphs, as well as their disappointments,
hardship and sacrifices. Two grizzled veterans mentor six rookies, as they try to break into the
ultra-elite hierarchy that is pro cycling. For the team, financial reward, a certain future and
social normalcy are some of the things that must be sacrificed in exchange for a soul-deep
engagement with something essential in themselves. If you love bike racing, you'll love The Hard
Road, but the best thing about the film is that there's much more in it than bike racing.
