Peter Hogan’s life went off the rails when he descended into heroin addiction as a teenager. As he began the road to recovery, he picked up a bicycle. In this film he recounts his journey from overdosing and living a life without hope, to standing on the start line of the 2022 Colorado Trail Race. Watch on to discover why he believes the bicycle can be a vehicle for friendship and a formative tool for change.
When he was using most heavily, Peter overdosed at least three times: “There was no telling if it was going to be your last shot,” he says. After a wilderness detox retreat helped him to turn his life around he began mountain biking, giving him a connection to the outdoors, a routine and a community of like-minded people. And while racing doesn’t always go as planned, cycling has helped him find the perspective to live a full and meaningful life.
