Here's the script to our music project, it's a thrilling tale!!!

Story:

Backround

The Colorado College cycling team earned an improbable entry into the prestigious Tour du Guinea. As a last second entry to the race, the Tigers raced a Cinderella story, keeping a rider in the top 10 throughout the first six stages. After attacking of the final climb of the second to last day of racing, the racer managed to move into second place overall, just 12 seconds behind the lead heading into the final time trial in the outskirts of Dakar.

Program:

We begin with our rider waking up in to the quiet sounds of sunrise. The sound of silence injecting his morning routine with nerves, as he prepares for the most important 40 kilometers of his life. Having finished breakfast, he begins warming up to try to stretch his legs after yesterday’s challenging stage. The start times run in reverse order, so he is the second to last to ride up the start ramp. Excitement now mixes with anxiousness. The start official counts down “Quatre, Trois, Deux, Un… Allez!!!” The race has begun, every second counts. He receives encouragement from his coach via helmet radio, “keep your cadence up, head up… attack this hill” After reaching the course’s high point, he begins the descent back to the city. He knows from the radio that he is 5 seconds ahead of his adversary.

Then, rounding a corner of the descent at nearly 40 miles per hour, he sees an elephant that has strayed onto the road, only too late. He is unable to avoid the giant mammal, and they collide. The collision knocks the rider into a state of semi consciousness; he drifts between reality and dreams as his coaches try to rouse him. Slowly he gets up and tries to mount his bicycle, only to discover that it is broken. His manager quickly retrieves his spare and our rider resumes his descent slowly and tentatively, victory out of the question. Despite some road rash he gains confidence and increases his pace steadily towards the finish line. Crossing the finish line the rider knows he has fallen of the podium, but the crowd applaud his heroic effort. One that will be remembered long after the victor of the race is forgotten.

Thrilling
