The film captures the atmosphere of camaraderie and competition, as these weekend warriors don their Lycra and hit the roads. The pacing is engaging; it balances the thrill of racing with introspection about identity and masculinity. There’s a raw authenticity in the interviews as these men reflect on their motivations and the joys and struggles of their passion.
