NorCal High School Mountain Bikers to Benefit

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Northern California High School Mountain Bike Racing League announces special screenings of the film The Road to Roubaix, February 12 – 21, timed and located to coincide with select stages of the Amgen Tour of California. These screenings are a fund-raiser for the NorCal High School Mountain Bike Racing League.

The Road to Roubaix brings to American screens a celebration of one of cycling’s most historically significant and charged one-day races, Paris – Roubaix, which has long gone by the deserved nickname “Hell of the North.”

In bicycle road racing there simply is no greater one-day challenge than this improbably fast dash over the narrow farm roads of northern France, on a course that includes several miles of shockingly rough, wheel-smashing cobblestones.

Directors David Deal and David Cooper present a montage of panoramic views, gripping race footage, and behind-the-scenes views and interviews that engage the audience from beginning to end and offer a rare insight usually reserved for the sport’s insiders.

Proceeds from these special screenings go to benefit the Northern California High School Mountain Bike Racing League.

February 12, Larkspur – Lark Theater – 8:00 p.m.
February 13, Berkeley – Florence Schwimley Theater – 7:30 p.m.
February 15, Santa Cruz* – Rio Theater – 7:00 p.m.
February 15, Palo Alto – Campbell Center for the Performing Arts – 7:30 p.m.
February 20, Folsom – Jill Solberg Theate – 7:30 p.m.
February 21, Pasadena – Vosloh Forum Hall – 7:00 p.m.

*February 15 event presented by The Bicycle Trip, The Amgen Tour of California – Santa Cruz, and The Rio Theater
