Road photoshoot casting; recruiting male riders for San Remo shoot

Posting on behalf of Still Productions looking for males for all-expenses paid trip to Italy for a new clothing brand. I'm in touch with one of the guides who is route-planning, so it's a proper ride-type shoot (not a "Hair! Makeup! Go back and do it again!" shoot....)

'Hello there,

The shoot we are helping to arrange is for a new cycling apparel brand, launching later this year. They are looking for cyclists who would be interested in modelling their new kit for their first brand photo shoot on set in San Remo, Italy.

We’re after keen and experienced cyclists who are available to travel to Nice, and shoot for three to four days, wearing the gear whilst cycling around the beautiful countryside. You’d need to be physically fit as the route includes climbs, although the scenery will be worth it!
There will be a ‘fixer’ in the area, someone who will guide riders on the route as the photographer shoots images as we go; no posing, just natural riders with some gorgeous backdrops.

We’re after men at the moment, all ethnicities and ages and the client would like to get a good representation of riders.

All travel and expenses, hotels, food etc will be covered also some free kit and a wonderful few days riding under your belt

Shoot dates:
w/c 21st April
OR
w/c 28th April

Shoot Location:
San Remo, Italy.

If you’re interested please send an e-mail with pictures to: production@stillproductions.co.uk
If you are selected we’ll be in touch to let you know the next steps!’

Additional note (and Friday bump for those day-dreaming of the mountains)

• Please include a pic of your bike with applications. Mono/neutral bikes preferred to allow focus on garments :) and bonus if you have bike-bag/case.
  

Sent off an email, why not eh?

How long will the rides be?

Ask for an unfit friend....

You’d need to be physically fit

damn!

Good representation, no women, happy IWD.

Women would have to keep stopping when they catch up with the men ;)

Right on woke-bro!.....

.....it's a menswear collection.

Any more enlightened thoughts on IWD? (24 hours after I posted)

thanks @dbr appreciated

hmmm, no idea. I'm guessing it's not EPIC, simply because of daylight hours in April and wanting riders to look good. I know the route planner so could find out - routes will be amazing btw (weather pending).

You need @ChainBreaker for this.

Sent this off to a mutual friend, hopefully he reads it.. will chase him up over the weekend..

?

Says Hills... Out.

Ok, I’m sorry.

Me or @amey?

oi!

Sounds like it could be fun I’ve sent an email too.

Sorry but you too

Well out anyway.
Flabby, unfit, ugly as a bag of spanners.

Aren’t you two all audax and gravel jaunts now?

Busy working on influencer material for BAME.cc

at least ‘bag of spanners’ suggests some facial definition. I’ve aged into ‘King Edward potato/fire in a candle factory’ : (

I revoked Amey’s BAME card this week for eating Bombay Mix out of a Kilner jar.

thanks @GoatandTricycle appreciated - I am so hoping they have received a pic of a goat on a tricycle.

I'm not actually involved with any of this, just doing it as a favour for casting/production company (and connection with route guide).
