2011 Rapha Festive 500 from Brian Sacawa on Vimeo.

Over 3000 cyclists from around the world participated in the 2011 Rapha Festive 500 Challenge and I was
one of them. When the dust settled, I had logged 556 total kilometers, which ranked me 411th out of those over 3000 riders in terms of distance. But as all cyclists know, it’s not the goal that matters so much as the journey we take to get there. This is a video documenting that journey.

Special thanks to Molly Sheridan, Tom Sheridan, Kris Auer, and Twenty20 Cycling Company. Music by J Dilla, “Dime Piece (Instrumental)” from The Shining. You can read all my daily Festive 500 ride reports and see the photos I took and some shorter videos I made along the way by clicking on this link: briansacawa.com/tag/rapha500/
