The cover of Issue 141 was snapped by the photographer Stephen Shelesky, while he documented the Silk Road Mountain Race, immersing himself in the same extremes as the riders. ⁠ ⁠ Stephen talked us through the difficulties he faced capturing the event after the dust had settled.⁠ ⁠ ⁠"We’d go days without showering with very little rest and for me a frequently upset stomach. By the end I honestly became impressed by my ability to sleep just about anywhere."⁠ ⁠ ⁠In our latest magazine — Issue 141 — we got an insight into one of the most brutal races in cycling.⁠ ⁠ Subscribe via the link in bio 🔗⁠ _______________________________⁠ ⁠ Not a member?
