    Breaking Away re-entactment |  Austin

    DateJuly 8, 2009

    1979 saw the release of the film Breaking Away. A film that spoke to the hearts of all the Euro-phile cycling fans embedded within American Cycling Culture.

    2009 marks the 30 year anniversary of the Academy Award winning film. To pay tribute to this film Rapha has teamed up once again with Austin Texas based shop Mellow Johnny's to present:

    Breaking Away with Rapha and Mellow Johnny's.

    Taking place right in the middle of the Tour de France the event will pay tribute to Cycling and Breaking Away by  re-entacting the final race scene of the film. Ten teams will compete in our own version of the Little 500 on July 12th. We have even brought back some of the local flavor that was a part of the Roller Races (http://www.rapha.cc/index.php?page=512) and added a few new teams.  

    But the night doesn't end there. Following the racing The Alamo Drafthouse has come onboard to show the film in a special outdoor screening directly behind Mellow Johnny's.
