Chasing a Moment - a Freedom Circuit Story by Llewellyn Lloyd

Chasing a Moment is a short film following Adrian Saffy as he takes on the 700km Freedom Circuit. The Freedom Circuit is a self-supported bikepacking race in the Drakensberg mountains of South Africa. 

Riders have 120 hours to complete the exceptionally challenging route. There are 5 checkpoints along the way which riders must visit whilst using GPS to navigate through the harsh terrain including cattle tracks, jeep tracks, gravel roads and foot paths. A truly African MTB experience. 

The soul of mountain biking. Not for the feint hearted.
