Chasing The Peloton peterrossproductions

Lian and I first met at The Migration Gravel Race in June 2021, where she was capturing the race, the riders and the spectacular Kenyan scenery. This, however, was not the first time I had come across her work. That was earlier in 2021 when I heard about #crackedearthfilm - a film project aiming to reach and engage more cyclists around the globe on the topic of the Climate Crisis.
This is part of her broader work with Shift Cycling Culture aiming to unite the collective force of the cycling world to create positive climate action by inspiring brands and the cycling community to start doing things differently.

I was not fortunate enough to spend much time with Ryan le Garrec at The Migration Gravel Race in Kenya. Then a few weeks after the dust had literally settled, he released his film documenting the race it brought the whole experience flooding back. I wanted to get to know to the guy who had so accurately represented, in film, the suffering and the elation l had experienced in Kenya.  Fail 4: Migration Gravel Race 
It turns out this is just the tip of the iceberg of a man with a fascinating story, full of rich experience fuelled by his curiosity for what life can offer those willing to pursue. 
I took a lot from this conversation particularly when it comes to following a passion and being true to your creative self. 
I hope you also enjoy!
