CYCLING THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE UK

[@robhocking5062]

A fantastic watch Chris. You and Jack should be proud of what you've produced. Interesting, informative and a showcase of what cycling history the UK has. Chapeau!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much! I’m really proud and pleased with this one for sure!

[@JackDearlove]

Billy’s bike shop absolutely saved me when I broke a rim doing LEJOG. Absolute legends!

[@ChrisHallRides]

It’s a fantastic shop isn’t it!?

[@archieatkinson2063]

Absolutely brilliant film, So well put together, Netflix need to get you signed up. Nice to have s surprise feature on one of my favourite KZbinrs!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Much appreciated mate! Thanks for being part of it too! I still owe you that Nando’s

[@derfx89]

Really great to see the evolution of your daily vlogs couple months ago into this full-on documentary. Great stuff

[@ChrisHallRides]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@gedrooney9305]

Recently cycled from Headingley over to Whitehaven, 70 odd miles uphill with a headwind before I hit Kendal via Hawes first. Then tackled Wrynose and Hardknott after another 20 miles from Kendal, then a leisurely emotional ride to the Coast, solo for a change and on my Ribble 653 steely rather than the R5. That part of the UK is nails, being a Yorkshire lad we are used to some steep stuff but Cumbria is next level, the Lakes can make you feel very small.. Great channel, keep it up 👍

[@ChrisHallRides]

Hahaha yeah it’s flipping lumpy around there isn’t it!?

Super documentary brings back memories of the men’s race in Yorkshire standing in the poring rain😀👍

[@ChrisHallRides]

Haha yeah the weather was biblical right!?

[@snorristurluson9679]

This is one of the most humble vids to promote our sport...congrats for that. I'm itching since years to ride trough whole Britain, this Year i did Poland...nice and flat ;)

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thank you I appreciate you saying that! UK next year then?!

So good it's 2nd time watching. Great video mate! 👌🏼

[@ChrisHallRides]

Ahh thanks so much dude

I spent so much time in Bridgnorth and was never aware there was a Bridgnorth CC. I always learn something new from your videos. Great story, great ride, thanks to you and JB for taking us along with you

Obviously a hell of a job _riding_ this route and undertaking this very cool and unorthodox challenge, but you & Jack also did an excellent job of filming & editing this film. Very impressive all around.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much! I think a dream team!

This is a really great film Chris!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thank you! 🙏

[@BikepackingAdventures]

The climb at 35 mins - am thinking was beyond Hawes, Buttertubs. In May during All Points North I had the pleasure of seeing the sunrise over the hills as I rode down to Dales Bike centre; only then to return climb up it again! I've probably ridden most of those roads in the Dales, but to join them together is always a different experience. Loved the video from beginning to end, thanks for sharing.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@andrewschirmer3849]

Chris what an awesome adventure mate and movie. Six stars.

watched this through suggested feed and thoroughly enjoyed it, fantastically documented and well filmed and edited! and of course great riding... keep it up :)

[@ChrisHallRides]

Welcome aboard and thanks so much for watching. There’s several films from big challenges on the channel, I hope you’ll have a watch!

[@malcontent_1]

Holy crap...1982, I was in high school then, riding a Nishiki road bike at the time--my first bike purchase, all my own--around the SF Bay Area (haha he's not just old, he's "experienced").

[@ChrisHallRides]

That’s not old at all mate!

[@andrewgrindrod5773]

nice to see my neck of the woods 19:39 burroughs road. great vid

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks for watching!

[@BetterShifting]

Loved the "nothing to prove" bit. I also figured that out the past couple of years. In the end, most of us ride bikes to have fun... and if a ride is no fun, then there's no sense in forcing yourself to ride on. I made it up to ~42:00, and get to watch the rest tonight :)

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks for watching mate and exactly. It takes time to figure that bit out for sure

[@percival3830]

Top stuff! I loved this film. I did LEJOG this summer with mates and we had no real idea that the UK was so breathtakingly beautiful, so varied, so flippin' wonderful! We live in Northumberland which is all hills and I can vouch for the madness of young Josh as I have seen him hyperventilating hill climb racing up Prospect Hill.

[@ChrisHallRides]

LEJOG is a fantastic ride too. Kudos on that! We are incredibly lucky

[@jaikgladstone5833]

Great film and an awesome tour. Couldn't agree more about the cycling in the UK though it would be amazing to have just a little bit more infrastructure that joined it all up

[@ChrisHallRides]

Completely agree the infrastructure is the one thing that lets it down

[@kbr2121]

Really good. Well done Chris.

[@AndyRides]

Very much enjoyed watching this. It's was also good that you encouraged people to holiday in the UK. So many fly abroad, with all the environmental damage that causes. I have been visiting various UK areas for cycling holidays over the last few years. Getting there by riding or taking the train. Much of Europe is also accessible by train. To celebrate my 60th I'm planning a trip to Girona. The surprising thing is that the journey doesn't take much longer by train, especially when you factor in having to get to the airport so much ahead of the flight.

[@ChrisHallRides]

That sounds like a fantastic plan for your 60th!

[@tylerbollmann3234]

That was great. A beautiful film. Looks like such a wonderful series of rides with good mates.

[@ChrisHallRides]

[@ChrisHallRides]

[@jamesallway5934]

Great video Chris! It’s funny been lucky to call Switzerland my home for the last 13years but still miss the UK bike culture. I often get asked why we produce such great riders ie downhill, enduro,cx, road, track it’s the passion and the love. When living back in the UK I could race every weekend whether it was cross country, cyclocross etc. I was lucky to do the Fred Whitton this year. I don’t normally get emotional about riding but being surrounded by like minded it was quite overwhelming.

[@ChrisHallRides]

I can completely understand that. We are very lucky aren’t we?

[@jamessteele2640]

Great video, absolutely creased at Josh bucking it to catch up 😂

[@daredemontriple6]

Inspirational, and a truly monumental effort, but it feels a bit legendary from my point of view. 2600m climb in one 170 odd km day would be about 6 times the climb and 4 times the distance of my biggest ever ride, and that was just one day out of a huge ride. It's a little other-worldly to imagine the sort of pure determination and physical fitness required to accomplish such a thing. Bloody good ride! Bloody good people!

Hi sir how are you

[@2011hwalker]

"some of the best riding in the world on your doorstep".....also gets 5 punctures in one day near Manchester. UK roads are too narrow and the weather too wet to call it the best riding in the world- Spain, France and mountainous areas of US are superior.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Have you ever cycled in the UK?

[@82vitt]

@@ChrisHallRides I live in Cheshire and ride up to 500km locally every week and unfortunately he is right. This year we pretty much had no summer and now I am just stuck in the town as all roads in the countryside are locally flooded or turned into brooks after 3 weeks of daily rain :(. And the UK has probably the most cyclist hostile motoring culture in the whole of Europe, with custodial sentences for killing a cyclist less than 2 years...
