I'VE KEPT THIS A SECRET FOR A WHILE...

[@garythelandscaper8585]

Very happy that this wasn’t a Dave Grohl type secret.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yeahh that wasn’t great news

[@garythelandscaper8585]

@@ChrisHallRides No. very disheartening. Huge fan of his.

The personal is personal.

[@adamgriss2025]

I had to look that one up.

Matching moustache and jersey is next level.

Rode with Le Col bibs for several longcevents. Good stuff. Jacket... I hope Le Col recognizes that not all riders are sub 70 kg. Gore makes zero products for larger riders, I am hoping Le Col doesn't follow that trend. Thanks for the video. 😊

[@ChrisHallRides]

The jacket would be absolutely fine for larger riders. I'm definitely nowhere near sub 70kg and it's a lovely piece of kit.

[@malcontent_1]

Wishing well for Badlands. That new clothing line looks very smart. I miss my old Merino wool jerseys; it's such an underrated material.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yeah I totally agre!

[@kevinlyon9501]

Nice kit good to see colours and it's not all black, will be looking for a new waterproof jacket.

[@ChrisHallRides]

The jacket is definitely waterproof! I have been using it recently

@@ChrisHallRides cheers, I did see your soggy walk with Marshall

[@bristolguitarhero]

oooh, lovely looking kit!

[@ChrisHallRides]

It really is!

[@benwootton]

Beautiful place, the Alhambra is second to none ❤

[@ChrisHallRides]

It's stunning!

[@JoeCincotta307]

Nice kit! How are you liking the red shift stem?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yeah it works well for dampening some of the road vibrations. I actually think on a road bike would be a great shout too

[@CycleXplorer]

Was the merino jersey too warm? I find merino way to hot, wore it for about an hour on the atlas mountain race and then just rode in my baselayer 😂 I'm trying to improve layering of cool layers so I don't overheat but can then have enough to be warm.

[@ChrisHallRides]

It was actually pretty good in the heat which I did not expect!

[@BikepackingAdventures]

I need to make christmas plans, christmas with the UK plans. Any recommendations for a hot getaway in Europe? Somewhere I can hire a road/gravel bike for the week as wanting to avoid the rigmarole (had to google the spelling!) of assembling and disassembling a bike.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Anywhere in Spain basically!

[@StacyODell]

Odd question, Chris, but it looked like you may be wearing a heart rate strap under your kit -- do you find a HR strap is more accurate than what you might get from a watch or armband HR monitor?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yep I definitely think a HR strap seems more accurate

[@jamesworley2674]

discount code does not work :(

[@ChrisHallRides]

I’ve just seen this too! Trying to get it sorted asap

[@garybrown5769]

Not too flattering and you’re body is defo better than mine so it’s a no from me

[@ChrisHallRides]

@@garybrown5769 never comment on someone else’s body, you don’t know what’s going on. And never judge yourself in a negative way. Everyone’s going through their own thing and body image is not a sign of how fit or healthy you are

[@martinashwell]

@@ChrisHallRides I think you might want to review the video before you judge @garybrown5769 comment too harshly, and alluded to by @StacyODell. I don’t believe he/they are being judgmental about body shapes, just the fit of the jersey which (in my opinion) looks a bit odd from the camera angle
