Unfinished Business
Where am I? What is going on? Who are all those people outside?Joni replied, You are in a bicycle race. The race is called RAAM..Baby, you just need to get on your bike and ride. "Em screamed, "Oh my God! Oh my God! He's been hit!" "There is a dark side to RAAM, a side only those who have been there know exists." My RAAM is over. I have let everyone down.. I dont deserve to finish RAAM "What I saw, I still get chill bumps thinking about it, because the man took off. I mean, whoosh, he stood up on those pedals and took off."

Going the Distance
In 2012, Joe Barr almost died from altitude sickness on the 11,000-ft Wolf Creek Pass in a Race Across America attempt. The infamous 3,200-mile race is non-stop ultracycling at its most extreme. In 2014, Joe returned and received the coveted Finisher's medal, and in 2019, at the age of 60, he went back again and won his category. This story of extreme perseverance begins on a yellow Raleigh Chopper on the streets of Co. Derry, where Joe, trying to escape the harsh everyday reality of the Troubles as a young Catholic boy in an all- Protestant school, went on long bicycle rides into the countryside, dreaming of one day taking part in cycling's grand tours. When his baby son was diagnosed with cancer, Joe got on the bike with a different purpose and won his first 1,300-mile endurance race. This is a story of unimaginable grit, and of what it takes to keep going when failure seems inevitable.
