CYCLEPATHS

a musical comedy with book, music & lyrics by Robert John Ford

ABOUT THE SHOW

 

"CYCLEPATHS" (an acronym for Crazy Youngish Cycling-Loving Extroverts Pedaling Across The Hawkeye State) is a new one-hour musical comedy that tells the saga of a hipster couple from Brooklyn who falsely believes a tandem-bike journey as part of RAGBRAI - the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa - will be a relaxing, carefree summer vacation.  Directed by Craig Petersen and featuring a cast of four, the show consists of twelve songs, each one focusing on a specific aspect of the ride, such as the delusions, the host towns, the weather, the food, the debauchery, the locals, and the exhaustion.
