In 1928 an under-resourced and untested team from New Zealand and Australia competed in what is considered to be the toughest sporting event in the world. Many considered the entry of these courageous underdogs, racing as a team of 4 against teams of 10, a joke. One French journalist called their attempt nothing short of murder. 168 riders started the more than 3,500-mile race, only 41 finished. Surprisingly this remarkable story about the achievements of these brave athletes has never been told on film, until now. Phil Keoghan - television personality, adventurer and cycling enthusiast, retraces the 1928 Tour de France route, bringing history to life. Following the original course and schedule, riding a vintage bike, Phil and his team will average 150 miles a day for 22 stages.
Leave your thoughts about Le Ride.
| The Sunday AgeCraig MathiesonKeoghan's motivation is divided between fascination with the original riders, who were not expected to last, and his own belief in pushing himself, but the film is less a historical study than a travelogue for cycling devotees. |
| Flicks.co.nzAdam FrescoIt would be nice to learn more of the original riders who inspired the challenge, but - as the title implies - it's an entertaining (if not hugely insightful) ride. |
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschThere is no real point to be proven by the exercise -- and the history angle is often underplayed -- so you'd better like lots of spinning wheels, gritted teeth and pretty French countryside. |
