LOS ANGELES -- Since surviving a 1989 plane crash that killed 112 people, Rockies radio broadcaster Jerry Schemmel has sought out transformational experiences that help others. And on Tuesday, the world will learn what he is willing to put himself through in that service.
Schemmel and his cycling partner, Brad Cooper, are subjects of the documentary film, "Godspeed -- The Race Across America," presented by Fathom Events and The Rudy Project (a designer and manufacturer of performance eyewear, helmets and other cycling gear), which chronicles their victory in the two-person division of the 2017 race. They traveled 3,060 miles, and you can probably guess it wasn't a leisurely ride.
