Chris Skogen's "From The Ground Up"

Chris Skogen's "From The Ground Up" -

This post is to direct you to go watch an excellent short film called "From The Ground Up". This video is a visual tour de force that takes the viewer from the beginnings of the planning stages for Chris' Almanzo 100 gravel grinder through to the post race festivities. It does so with some sparse narration by Chris, but mostly the images and some sights and sounds are all you are going to have to go by here. And it is pretty powerful in it's own way. Well, at least I think so.

From my vantage point, it dials up what it is like to be involved in a selfless, totally volunteer event attended by cyclists who show up for the love of cycling. Maybe you won't get that, but if you take away nothing else, take away the message to "Ride Bicycles".

This short film gets a recommendo from Gravel Grinder News.
