Description

A new film from the producers of Ride the Divide. Inspired to Ride follows a handful of cyclists from around the world as they race unsupported in the inaugural year of a 4,233 mile transcontinental race across the USA. This race is the antithesis to events like Tour de France and Race Across America. There are no teams, no support vehicles, no special jerseys and not a dime in prize money. As they battle lack of sleep, injuries and spirited competition, INSPIRED TO RIDE takes us on an invigorating road trip - amidst the jaw-dropping beauty of the TransAmerica Trail with its varied landscapes, intriguing locals and found stories which dot this path of discovery.

    Mike did an absolutely fantastic job with this movie and my other favorite Ride the Divide. If you have any interest in riding a bike more than just in the neighborhood this WILL inspire you. He does a fantastic job of weaving in interesting characters while they tackle a very tough 4000+ mile bike race across the country. If you are a cyclist you will love this movie! I have purchased multiple copies for friends of mine and never had anyone not agree with me. Thanks Mike...when's the next one :)

    The notion of seemingly ordinary people setting out on a race this long has to be inspirationl. Alone in the middle of nowhere, knowing other racers are ahead, to be chased, and others behind, chasing you, is exciting beyond belief. The incredible distances mean that you might never see another racer again, ever, leaving you with the gnawing idea that you are alone but not so alone that you can relax. One of the best movies I have seen paired with a perfectly selected sound track that captures the emotiions of lonliness amid epic efforts by all the racers. Very well done!
  • Good enough to watch over and over...and over.

    Mike Dion and Hunter Weeks have done it again. Inspired to Ride is the type of movie that you simply cannot watch one time only. The stories here could all have their own movie, they are that good and that universal. Extremely well-told tale.

    As primarily a mountain biker I wasn’t sure I’d love this film, but the other two movies from Mike Dion have been excellent so I went to the semi-local screening which was a fundraiser for a neighboring MTB club (bonus!). The movie was very entertaining and I highly recommend it. If you’ve made it as far as reading the reviews you are interested enough to really enjoy the movie. Buy or rent it now!
