Conceived as a web series, and possible branded content vehicle for a cycling, fitness or nutritional brand.
Synopsis:
SADDLE SORES is a comedy about a group of suburban misfits for whom a new-found love of cycling fills a gaping void in their lives. Meeting in a lycra-friendly coffee shop owned by an entrepeneurial personal trainer, the group exchanges their latest tales from the saddle, while tip-toeing around more pressing matters closer to home. Within the cycling context, nothing is off-limits – from genital chafing to energy gel addiction and the correct delivery of abuse to discourteous lorry drivers. Meanwhile, off-road matters are initially out of bounds - but as the group's confidence grows in one another they gradually open up, with their regular meet developing into a weekly emotional repair kit.
