Generally speaking, I find there is pretty much just crap on TV these days. But, there are glimmers of goodness. For example, there are three (3) South Dakota Public Television stations to choose from. And, I'm finding Universal Sports to my liking.
On Universal Sports I can catch the spring biking classics. Maybe that's on Versus. Oh well, I digress.... I can catch the world Sevens Rugby tournaments on Universal Sports. The other night I was flipping through the channels waiting for the combo of my insomnia drugs and wine to interact in the desired way when I happened upon a bike documentary showing on Universal Sports. It is called Pedal To The Midnight Sun. The trailer can be seen here:
As I was watching there were ads for another movie featuring the same two (2) dudes. It is called Paddle to Seattle. That trailer can be seen here:

I hope they show that on Universal Sports soon. That looks cool, too.
These two documentaries are doing nothing to help with my insomnia. But, they've sure got my wanderlust kicked into high gear.
Ride on.
