The Flying Scotsman

Saw this movie yesterday, just came out on DVD.
It's a pretty cool movie, the one you might want to see before a big race. Nice to see how an amateur got to world records and world championship, as well as what the UCI would do if someone from outside the establishment is challenging them. And you can see where the Superman position comes from.

Yeah - I've been seeing a lot of ads for that movie on velonews.com. Lennard Zinn (of road bike maintenance fame) gives it a pretty good review here[/URL" target="_blank">.

Didn't know it was on netflix already; will have to throw it on my queue as well.
