The Levi Effect

Now on Vimeo and DVD

The Levi Effect documentary is a movie created by Bike Monkey, Citizen Pictures and Daydreamer Cinema about my experience with the pursuit of chasing my dream, and ultimately what it led to. I was reluctant at first to have a story told about me, but eventually agreed to it. In the end, this documentary paints a picture of what my life was like as a professional cyclist, the fact that winning isn’t always in the cards and ultimately what matters most isn’t what you do in life, but what you leave behind.

Allowing myself to be subject to this documentary forced me to examine myself more, and changed even my own perspective about what’s important in life. I hope it offers some insight and perspective not on who I am, but who we all are.

LGFLevi Leipheimer’s King Ridge GranFondo

October, 2013. We Ride.

Come ride with me this fall.

The inception of Levi’s GranFondo was and always will be one of my proudest moments. With the help of many close friends and the community of Santa Rosa, this event became an overnight success that changed the face of cycling in America. Now in it’s 5th year, we’re more excited than ever to venture off into the legendary hills of Sonoma County and celebrate one of the greatest days on a bike.

The Ribbon is Cut

Levi Leipheimer’s taking down walls, reviewing carpet swatches, and picking out curtains: Welcome to his newly redesigned website! We’re all just getting started here, but soon this site will be full of all the hustle and the bustle around the US’s premier cyclist. Look for race schedule, biographical information, palmares/race results, photos, video posts, charity partners, and, most importantly, news and updates about Levi’s upcoming documentary on his cycling career, Levi’s GranFondo, and the amazing bike life in his home of Sonoma County, California.

Produced by Bike Monkey with Citizen Pictures behind the camera, we’re already shooting and are pretty positive you won’t be able to resist checking out the trailer (embedded above). Should you be able to hold still this long, we’re looking at a fall 2012 release. Should you not be able to hold still that long, you’ll at least have our sympathies and understanding. Keep it right here for more info or, better yet, sign up here for updates delivered directly to your inbox.

In the meantime, check out Levi’s race schedule and get yourself over to the roadside (or trailside) to give this man some solid cheering. Or better yet, get out on your bike. If there’s one thing we’ve all got in common, it’s the belief that there’s no better way to spend a day than in the saddle.
