Leipheimer Documentary Gets a Kick-Start

I’m very proud of my friends and colleagues over at Bike Monkey for a number of reasons. And yesterday they started yet another project that I’m very excited about. Bike Monkey’s founder Carlos recently came up with the idea of taking the documentary they’ve been working so hard on for the past two years and giving it away, for free. But in order to do that they needed to come up with a creative way of supporting it. Their decision was to launch a Kickstarter campaign.

I hope you’ll take the time to consider supporting this effort. It has been exciting to see the behind-the-scenes sneak-peaks of the footage as the story develops. It will be even more exciting to be a part of a story that’s really about a lot more than just me. It’s about my community, the sport of cycling and the impact that these things have had on each other throughout my career.

Check it out.

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.
