The same team that brought us the award-winning "Ride the Divide," which nearly sold out the Grand Lake Theater, is at it again!

This year’s astonishing bike movie, "Reveal the Path," debuts in Oakland at 7 p.m. this Thursday, Jan. 24, as a benefit for the Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay.

Like its predecessor, the film is an inspiring adventure documentary, featuring some of the same world class and champion mountain bikers, such as Matthew Lee, Kurt Refsnider and director Mike Dion. It extends the journey on a few different levels, going to four continents, meeting new people along the way and examining spiritual questions such as those about the nature of living an inspired life.

The full-length film takes viewers “on a 36-day vagabond bike trip to some of the world’s most visually stunning destinations: Europe’s snow-capped mountains, Scotland’s lush valleys, Alaska’s rugged coastal beaches, Nepal’s elevated wonders and Morocco’s high desert landscapes.”

“This adventure will leave you with an eager desire to chart your own course to faraway lands,” said director Mike Dion, who also co-stars in "Reveal The Path," as he did in "Ride The Divide." “Or, simply, you may just want to discover with eyes wide open what is around the next bend.”

Tickets are $10 in advance at imathlete.com/events/revealthepath or $15 at the door. The Grand Lake Theater is located at 3200 Grand Ave. in Oakland.
