While WebCyclery Movie Night at McMenamins is a fund raiser for Central Oregon Trail Alliance, it is mostly an excuse to get together with a theater full of like-minded cyclists to watch kick-ass bicycle movies, drink a beer, raise some money for local trails, and maybe win a cool door prize from Co-Motion Cycles and WebCyclery.
About Asiemut
WebCyclery and Co-Motion Cycles brings you Asiemut, a film about traveling far beyond what you perceive your limits are on a bicycle.
Asiemut is the video diary of a french canadian couple, Mélanie & Olivier, that choose to have an adventure. Ultimately they pedal their mountain bikes 8000km through Asia and discover more than they had imagined about themselves, their world, and the people they meet along the way.
Asiemut will have you thinking about that journey that has always eluded you, and let you experience the true emotional range that one goes thru when undertaking a trip that, at times, seems like something far more difficult than expected. Their journey takes them from Mongolia to Kolkata, at the mouth of the Ganges in India, passing through Xinjiang, the Taklamakan desert, and thru Tibet & Nepal.
Kevin Gorman, a film critic known for his thumbs-up and thumbs-down reviews with his brother and fellow critic, Mean Todd, has praised Asiemut and heralded it as "The sweetest mountain biking across Asia movie ever!" Mean Todd continued the accolades and added, "As long as you're going to be at McMenamins drinking a beer, you might was well be watching Asiemut at the same time."
