Inspired by Ann Barry’s 2017 book, Sweet Ride is the true story of a “grand adventure” taken in the summer of 1943. Four young women embark on a journey by bicycle from Blockhouse, Nova Scotia to see their musical hero, Don Messer. They realize their dream, sitting in the studio audience during Mr. Messer’s live radio broadcast at the CFCY studio, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Set during the height of World War Two, the adventure recounts 400 miles on one speed bicycles, blistering heat, torrential rain, roadside aid provided by soldiers and the rides at the Bill Lynch Carnival. Two actors, two musicians, one period bicycle and eight songs tell this charming tale of perseverance in pursuit of a dream.
