TACKLING A MONSTER: TENERIFE

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

Thanks for all these videos. We’ve enjoyed watching them as they’ve been uploaded over the festive season. Great that you are honest about your struggles, although we couldn’t hold a candle to your achievements.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Appreciate the kind words, thank you!

As awesome as this video is, it must have been incredible to actually be there and do the ride, long and drawn out as it is. Beautiful.

[@ChrisHallRides]

It really was a pretty special day. Enjoyed this one

[@333wheeler]

Could hear the altitude taking its effect ! Teide is a drag to get up even in a car :).That track looked a lot more suited to the Hiking community than any sort of biking .

[@ChrisHallRides]

Haha yeah it's a monster!

[@felixjackson2670]

Looks like you are in a good rhythm on this one. Completely relate to your MTB off-road experience. Am a roadie,but had lots of fun off-road during the 1980’s and 90’s..early MTB times was spent finding impossible places to ride bikes ( pre Lycra ) doing impossible stuff,falling off,hysterical laughter,followed by more… Several years ago realised I no longer have the same inclination ( bottle!) and perhaps my ‘risk-assessment’ has adapted to suit. Love gravel and MTB single track,but leave out the jumps,big rocks,crazy descents etc. Live to ride another day.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks for watching. Totally agree!

[@davidtilly2142]

Top man some day. I did it in one go last bit was full on.

[@Thedarksiderunner]

well done Chris looking forward to the next one

[@ChrisHallRides]

[@malcontent_1]

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks again!

[@lanzaroterider365]

Great video and fantastic effort, bravo! The sandy wind is a Calima 👍 Keep it up mate, looking forward to seeing la Palma 👍😎🚴

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks for watching !

[@grahambell9831]

Hi Chris, great video ( as always).......have a great 2025! 👍🍻.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks, you too!

[@grahambell9831]

@ChrisHallRides 🤝🍻

[@kevinlyon9501]

That looked like a long way up off road, on what looked like goat trails. Happy New Year Chris all the best for 25

[@ChrisHallRides]

Happy New Year!

[@STEOKEO]

Great Video Chris.....I actually live in Tenerife. Is the route uploaded anywhere? Id like to try some of these trails myself.

[@Morzsaszar]

I go there in mid january, you can join

[@SimonBorneman]

Zo te zien was het erg zwaar maar toch weer goed gedaan

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Great vlog as always, to watch :) Definition of the phrase understatement ? "I can kinda do cross-country" Definition of Sadomasochist ? Dragging the "horse" up and over a boulder field in scorchio conditions, where the question of whether lugging 5 litres of H20 in the Camelpack will suffice ! Have a Fantasic day Chris & a even better 2025 ☀️ 🍌🐿

[@ChrisHallRides]

hahaha Happy New Year!

[@leeandrews3074]

Christ how long?? Utter trooper mate, seriously.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Very long hahaha

[@dazzamtb27]

Not easy trails on a fully laden Mtb bike Chris, better to be safe than sorry

[@ChrisHallRides]

completely agree.

[@Po.2013]

Hi Chris, I watched all your videos. Love this channel. I am doing Badlands in 2025, and I see you are using aerobars on your bike. I was using it on ultra but without bags on the bike. So full gas all the time. Is aerobar a must for Badlands, or It's manageable without? Thanks

[@ChrisHallRides]

You don't have to have them for badlands.

[@colinpollard9045]

Happy new year Chris are you making any pods this year or do I delete you on my app xx

[@ChrisHallRides]

Not sure yet!

[@JRmntain]

No need to be too hard on your MTB skills. Your bike is setup for bikepacking not technical enduro style riding 🙏

[@ChrisHallRides]

You are very right there, hadn't thought of it like that

[@markianross]

Do you call Spain "España" then? 😉
