The Silk Road Mountain Race is a 2000km bikepacking race around Kyrgyzstan. The race is predominately off road taking on high altitude mountain passes and rough tracks as the route winds its way around the country.
KYRGYZSTAN is a short film shot during the 2023 edition of the race and edited by Ryan Le Garrec.

Such a great documentary film Josh, I felt I was there. You're a great storyteller and athlete. Editing and colour grading is top notch too

@shred3005 11 месяцев назад

Editing was done by Ryan Le Garrec who does great work. If you haven’t seen his other stuff (and he’s done editing for Josh before) then search out his work. The edit can turn good footage into a great movie

Kyrgyzstan is one of the most amazing countries I have ever had the privilege of visiting. You capture the raw beauty very nicely in this video.

I've done a fair few ultras now with some vlogging and people always ask how do I find the time. The reality is, the vlog is a very short snapshot of the journey as whole, time management is important as ever. At the end of the day its such a great way of catching memories of the race which will live with you long after the race has finished.

@pedallingsquaresNZ 11 месяцев назад

This video is such a perfect embodiment of ‘it’s about the journey and not the destination’. So much so that you don’t even bother to show the viewer the finish, it just cuts abruptly. I love the symbolism of that. Inspiring edit. Another tidbit also love you mentioning listening to d&b and the music before was (not quite, but similar style) d&b. The way that was edited in was so cool

Josh, I loved it! Really well done. With that said, I’d love to see an extended version of this where you didn’t speed up the video clips. I know most people want the abbreviated version (so you gotta speed up the video in places), but for those of us who are looking for videos to watch while we are on our trainers, a full length or extended version (where we can feel like we are riding hard with you) of this ride would be awesome. Just my thought.

Nice documentary ,excellent filming of the scenery. Beautiful but harsh. Was it the hardest race you've done and where did you finish?(position wise)

@joshibbett 8 месяцев назад

Hi Lydia. I'm not sure off it was the hardest race I've done in terms of physical effort as I felt quite in control. But certainly the outside conditions were some of the trickiest to deal with in terms of temperature swings, altitude and availability of decent food.

@justnoroadbike 10 месяцев назад

Hey Well Dorn, what do u think about your jacket? Looks interesting! You wearing the Abion also at night?

@alessiosaviane8312 6 месяцев назад

Great job! Amazing performance and race. I was wondering what's the beep that I hear throughout the video here and there. Is it the bike computer? I heard it while racing an ultra as well but forgot to ask the guy riding with me and was curious to know. Thanks

@esavirtanen6418 9 месяцев назад

Views are amazing, I'd love to do this race but those hike a bikes just look brutal lol. How does the tailfin rack hold up on this sort of terrain? Seemed you packed it quite light? Bivy, sleeping pad, bag, down jacket? Can't more be more than 2kg tops.

@joshibbett 9 месяцев назад

Yea packed fairly light and loosely making use of the volume of the aero pack. I’ve never had an issue reliability wise with tailfin stuff

@samuraioodon 9 месяцев назад

hello josh, i'm wondering if you know when the rear rack bag prototype will be released to public? i like the strap more than the current bag with 2 straps. wondering how much that would cost? thank you.

@joshibbett 9 месяцев назад

I don't think it will be available in that particular form, but the prototype will most likely inform some future designs. However I really don't know the timescale

Josh, what light do you use on your helmet and what is the run time? At night, how do you store your food when you are sleeping to keep critters away?

@joshibbett 11 месяцев назад

The helmet light is an Exposure Joystick. Run time is anything from 1h-36h depending on the mode selected. Food wise critters were not a problem in Kyrgyzstan so I just left everything on the bike.

@rossdouglas8131 11 месяцев назад

One more, what shoes do you wear? I would think all that hike a bike you gotta have something flexible, but not to flexcible for pedaling.

@joshibbett 11 месяцев назад

I've been using the Shimano ME5. As you say they are a good balance of stiffness for pedalling yet flexible and grippy enough for the hike a bike. They last well too, this pair has done a couple of highland trail 550's, Silk Road and a few other hikeabike heavy bikepacking trips.
