Feeding the Rat (and knowing when to stop)

'Feeding the Rat' follows elite cyclist Pete Stetina as he takes on one of the toughest hillclimbs in the US, if not the world: the legendary Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb. With the record in sight, he confronts the same relentless drive that shaped his career and now pushes him into a new chapter. This is more than a race. It’s a restless and persistent urge to test oneself, seek purpose, and experience life’s heightened sensations beyond the ordinary routine.
