For Travis Waite, it seems that the best of his 49 years are behind him. Once a celebrated member of the U.S. Cycling team, he spiraled into depression after a training ride turned deadly. Estranged from his wife, he retreats into solitude until he is gifted an opportunity by the father that abandoned him as a child. In an unfamiliar town, befriended by a group of close-knit bikers with a dark story of their own, Travis begins a journey of discovery and healing. Weaving a variety of characters with craft and insight, The Ride introduces a unique blend of cyclists, addicts and alcoholics, bikers, husbands and wives, and four-legged friends to deliver an enduring and haunting tale of redemption.
