Webcyclery Movie Night at McMenamins
ROAD TO ROUBAIX
Celebrate Paris-Roubaix, the greatest of the Spring Classics bicycle races, at the Central Oregon premiere of Road To Roubaix!

Directors David Deal and Dave Cooper, bring you a new film that celebrates one of the most historically relevant bike races in the world. Rare interviews with current superstars, legends of the sport, mechanics, and fans lead the audience through the brutal, unpredictable landscape that elevates Paris-Roubaix to its epic status. This film masterfully captures the beauty of the region through stunning panoramic views and footage of the race, riders, and the infamous cobblestones which serve as the star of the film.

Road To Roubaix weaves rare behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and photographs—both contemporary and archival—that make Road To Roubaix a visual narrative that engages riders of all abilities from beginning to end. This is a rare look at Paris-Roubaix usually reserved for the sport's insiders.

Stars Tom Boonen, Fabian Cancellara, Juan Antonio Flecha, Sean Kelly, Marc Madiot, Stuart O'Grady, Peter Van Petegem and a bunch of other guys that are much faster than you and I...

Kevin Gorman, a film critic known for his thumbs-up and thumbs-down reviews with his brother and fellow critic, Mean Todd, has praised Road To Roubaix and heralded it as "The sweetest cobblestones racing interview movie ever!" Mean Todd continued the accolades and added, "As long as you're going to be at McMenamins drinking a beer, you might was well be watching Road To Roubaix at the same time."

While WebCyclery Movie Night at McMenamins is a monthly 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 kick-ass bicycle movies, drink a beer, raise some money for local trails, and maybe win a cool door prize.
