Red Light Go - Friday 23rd 19.30
A wild ride alongside a select group of New York City bike messengers, culminating in a long and brutal race through the dark streets of NY, in rush-hour traffic.  Not for the fainthearted!

Oscar nominated animation feature following the exploits of a Tour de France rider who gets kidnapped by the French Mafia and is forced to ‘ride for his life’ in a bizarre competition.

 

Overcoming - Saturday 24th 19.30
A fascinating insight into the workings of Bjarne Riis’s CSC team before and during the 2004 Tour as the CSC team prepares to go up against the legendary Lance Armstrong and his US Postal teammates.  An interesting documentary with lots of action and crashes.

 

ROAM - Sunday 25th 19.30
A mountain bike film that takes us to some of the wildest mountain biking venues with the very best riders.  This film is considered to be the bar by which other adventure films are now measured.
