Rider Portraits

Last year, our photographer and veteran Firefly, Matt Harbicht captured intimate video portraits showcasing some of the riders who had wholeheartedly committed to participating in the ride and raising funds for the City of Hope.

We are lucky to have amazingly talented Andre Stringer ride with us, especially as he usually brings his Leica. Here are some of his shots from 2013 tour:

The Documentary

We actually made an official Film in 2013.
