WebCyclery Movie Night @ McMenamins
A SUNDAY IN HELL
9:00 p.m. | $5 per person | 21 & over
Join WebCyclery for “A Sunday In Hell” -- a documentary covering the 1976 edition of the one-day Paris-Roubaix bicycle race, which is usually the most dramatic of the Spring Classics on the professional cycling calendar.
A good portion of Paris-Roubaix takes place over narrow, bumpily-cobbled roads that become choked with dust on dry days and treacherously slick and muddy on rainy days... hence the nickname "The Hell of the North" that gives the film its title. This classic film shows us the preparations of the stars – Eddie Merckx, Francesco Moser, Roger De Vlaeminck - before portraying the race itself with great cinematography and music that reminds us that this film was definitely made in 1976! We love this film because of the vintage bikes, clothing and haircuts.
While WebCyclery Movie Night at McMenamins is a fund raiser for Central Oregon Trail Alliance (cotamtb.com), it is mostly an excuse to get together with a theater full of like-minded cyclists to watch bicycle movies, eat some tater tots, and maybe win a cool door prize.
Run time: 95 minutes
