I was fortunate enough to see this at a film festival some years back and I just now stumbled across it for free online. It’s worth an hour of your time to watch it. Grab a beer, pack a bowl and give it a watch.
A little Q&A with the filmmaker
The Rider and The Wolf is the story of Mike Rust, the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame cyclist who disappeared without a trace in Colorado. The film is about the birth of the sport of mountain biking in communities like Crested Butte. It’s also part murder mystery. This is the final edit. We’re offering it free, but if you want to send a tip or purchase a download ($20) please Venmo @nathanward17 or contact us – gritandthistle@gmail.com. Enjoy!
