Unsolicited plug-
After our Tour de Eugene Saturday ride we watched the film "The Tour baby !" while we stuffed our faces on pasta and blueberry pie. I loved it !Very different look at the tour done by a guy who is a big fan of the Tour. He decided to go over and follow it but had no other plans. He bought a camera two weeks before leaving , shot some film and through some chance encounters ended up going behind the scenes and got some nice footage and interviews. Amaturish, yep. Fun,yep. Silly,yep. Good hearted, yep.
Profits from the film go to the Lance Armstrong foundation. The filmaker has a friend whos' child has cancer but is "recovered" at this time. The filmaker ,Scott, has pledged $100,000 to the LAF.
The film is showing in Portland, Oregon on June 22nd and 23 at McMenamin's Hawthorne st pub. Information on screenings can be found on his website-www.thetourbaby.com.
A buddy loaned me a copy but i bought one for myself I enjoyed it so much.
See for yourself if you get a chance.
