‘SINGLETRACK HIGH’ comes to the Cerrito Theatre!!!

We
are pleased to announce the screening of ‘Singletrack

High
’ at Rialto
Cinemas Cerrito
on Saturday, November 9th at 10:30am.



This
inspiring documentary showcases the extraordinarily positive impacts of the
high school cycling movement.


Taking
a close look at the National Interscholastic Cycling Association’s (NICA) northern California (NorCal) High School Cycling League, Singletrack High follows a diverse group of high school students through the 2012 mountain bike racing season.



The
film explores the wide range of positive outcomes from keeping adolescents
active on bikes at an age when many are trading in two wheels for four.  For hundreds of kids in Northern California,
the ride never stops...it gets faster.  They
come from the mountains, the suburbs, and the city. Some ride carbon fiber race
bikes, others old steel clunkers. They ride to win, to finish, and to escape.
For six weekends every spring, they don their school colors, roll up to the
start line, and fly.

NICA Executive Director, Austin McInerny, said, “We are thrilled with Singletrack High! The film captures the challenges and rewards experienced by six diverse student-athletesthroughout a season of racing with their respective mountain bike teams. By following the riders closely and talking with their coaches and parents repeatedly over many months, the film presents a compelling explanation of the value and need for high school-based cycling teams. I am confident that even non-cyclists will want to support our efforts after seeing this film.”
