Film of 4400 mile Trans-Am bike race to be screened in London

Inspired to Ride covers the 2014 Trans-Am bike race, which was won by UK based Mike Hall. The 2014 event was the inaugural staging of the event, which required riders to cover 4400 unsupported miles across the USA between Astoria, Oregon and Yorktown, Virginia.

Starting on 7^th June 2014, the race attracted a total of 45 riders of whom 25 finished. It took Hall just over two and a half weeks to cover the route, at an average moving speed of around 13 miles per hour – almost a day faster than second-placed Jason Lane. Hall’s 2014 time beat the fastest finisher in 2015 too.

For the 2016 event, which will start on June 4^th, there will be the option to ride as pairs and to take on the route in reverse.

There’s a trailer for the film here.
