Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

HELP: Major Taylor TRACKS OF GLORY movie

I found a thread posted here which said someone had seen this movie on something called a Real Stories Channel. Can't find such a channel using google.

I'm trying to obtain a copy of the Australian movie called Tracks of Glory, about Major Taylor. I know a few (very very few) people have copies of it. I would appreciate any assistance / advice on how to obtain this movie.

You can email me at richbiker@netzero.net

Thanks,
richbiker
