Mathew Modine above: Nice pic. Good looking bike, relatively recent in years it looks like. He looks like a serious cyclist, in fine shape for his years.

"A prison social worker assembles a cycling team of teenage convicts and takes them on a transformative 1,000-mile ride. Inspired by the life of Greg Townsend and the Ridgeview Academy cycling team." From web home page of Ridgeview Academy: (sure sounds good to me) Ridge View Academy (RVA) opened in 2001 as an academy model program to provide normalized high school experiences to youth. Within this setting, youth received therapeutic services, accredited education, vocational learning opportunities, and the chance to participate in diverse extracurricular activities. RVA served over 7,000 boys—with over 2,000 youth receiving their high school diploma or GED—over the course of its 20 years of operation. The program closed in 2021 at the completion of the contract in alignment with the State’s efforts to reduce the number of out-of-home placements for youth. Although Ridge View remains closed, ROP (edit, I think Rite Of Passage) continues to work with youth in Colorado, providing specialized care while fulfilling its mission of improving the lives of youth. Tour de YouthAs part of our ongoing commitment to provide youth with unique programs and experiences that challenge and inspire them, ROP is hosting a cross country cycling tour in 2024 called the Tour de Youth (TDY). The coast-to-coast ride will be led by RVA’s long-time cycling coach Greg Townsend, the inspiration behind the recently released Hard Miles movie. The ride will be launched in the spring, to bring unique learning opportunities and normalized experiences to kids through the outdoors. The Tour de Youth aims to guide students on a transformative journey of mental and physical development through this 3,000 plus mile bike ride from California to Washington D.C., while showing them the historic and scenic sights of the United States along the way.https://tourdeyouth.com/ But you're right about the pic being from the film. |

That doesn't sound right. Here's the summary from IMDB:

Sorry, my mistake. I deleted my review. I mixed it up with "Trapped Inn" (2024). That was the horrible cycling movie. BTW, I did sit through "Hard Miles" and I didn't consider it a good movie, either.
Yeah I watched the clip on IMDB, it doesn't look fantastic, but not terrible. But it does sound like a great story in real life. A couple second clip looks like they might have fabricated their own frames. In the clip is a barely recognizeable Sean Astin with a toolbox in the background, he might play a mechanic or shop teacher. In real life, Astin is evidently a marathoner, and completed the Ironman Tri in 2015 (!) |

I don't know who a lot of the above are, but looked them up, quite impressive sports people. Shows how out of sports news I am, record-setting medalists and I've never heard of 'em.
