Here's your chance to watch an epic documentary about a man's quest to win a 24-hour solo mtn bike race. The proceeds from tickets sold will go to the Nor-Cal High School Mountain Bike League, a non-profit charity that seeks to give young kids and teenagers a healthy outlet to have fun, get fit and learn good sportsmanship.
Here's a summary of the film:

"24 Solo follows the gut-wrenching story of Chris Eatough on his quest for a 7th World Title in the unforgiving discipline of 24 Hour Solo mountain bike racing. In the face of increased pressure from sponsors, new competitors to the sport and a pregnant wife, Chris focuses his entire season on one race. Dark horse Australian National Champion, Craig Gordon challenges Chris to rise to a level of intensity never before seen in the sport. 
24 Solo will take viewers on an epic roller coaster ride through the bamboo forests of China, into the throat of a violent thunderstorm in Wisconsin and over the scorched, granite hillsides of Georgia. The intense racing action is balanced by a rare glimpse into the personal life of the most successful 24 Hour racer ever and the people he relies on for his success. The film ends with the race that has been awarded "The MOST EPIC BATTLE ON TWO WHEELS" (VeloNews)."

There will be one-time shows in select parts of the Bay Area and other parts of Northern California starting this week into next. To buy tickets and find out dates, show times and locations click on the link below:
