Winner Announced for 2nd Annual Bike Film Festival
"Under The Tuscan FOG" is a "documentary" of the Cape Cod FOG group, FOG being Fat Old Guys from the Cape. They share the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge (PMC) as a common experience, with 2 to 19 years of PMC rides under their spandex jerseys.

Ciclismo Classico is pleased to announce the winner of the 2011 Ciclismo Classico Film Fest contest: Bill Charette for his movie titled Under the Tuscan FOG.

Bill will be traveling free on a Ciclismo Classico bike tour in 2012 for his award-winning flick documenting the bike trip he and his friends took together in September of 2010 through the Tuscan town of Trequanda, Italy. According to Bill, the FOG descended upon this quiet town and forever changed the history of the rolling bucolic fields and sun-drenched vineyards. He noted that the local vintners were forever, if reluctantly, grateful.

The runner-up film is I Want to Ride my Bicycle by Laurinda Bedingfield which chronicles the escape from the snowy northeast to sunny Tuscon, Arizona.

The FOG, Laurinda and their friends will be in attendance at the Film Festival.

Ciclismo Classico received numerous, inspiring and well-done entries for the film festival contest and we sincerely thank each participant of our competition.

Keep those cameras rolling, there will be more opportunities to have your films on the big screen!

To see Under the Tuscan FOG, I Want to Ride My Bicycle and many more films including Cycle of Love, Life Cycles, Colorado Frontrange Cyclocross and other great cycling-related films, come to our 2nd Annual Bike Film Festival Wednesday, May 18th!

Your Level is currently set to: All

To change your default trip level please select a new level from the list below.

All Levels

You’re potentially interested in any level of trip and don't want your site experience tailored to any specific level.

Easy

You’re new to biking, or you just want to take it easy with lots of stops to take pictures and explore and no one hurrying you along. Expect a leisurely pace over generally flat terrain.

Average distance per day: 18-35 miles.

Athletic Beginner

You’re not a fanatical rider, but you exercise regularly and enjoy a leisurely day’s spin on your bike. You might want to graduate to “intermediate” one day, or not. The pace is relaxed but the terrain gently rolling, more ups and downs, more vistas and valleys than Easy tours.

Average distance per day: 35-45 miles.

Intermediate

You’re active on your days off, and recreational biking is most likely your weekend sport of choice. You love to ride and it shows in your endurance and strength. A steady but active pace, with opportunities to push yourself and some challenging climbs, with great descents over rolling terrain. (These folks ARE cyclists, they are usually pretty serious cyclists but do not train at the expert level.)

Average distance per day: 40-50 miles.

Expert

You crave vigorous pacing, challenging climbs and thrilling descents. You crave longer mileage with lots of hills and descents, varying terrain, and a mountain pass or two only makes it better.

Average distance per day: 45+ miles.

Family

If you have kids under 16, we have great options for you! With fewer hotel changes, easier biking and wheels for all ages, we've got your ideal active family holiday.

Average distance per day: 20–30 miles.
