I MADE A VLOG?! Cycling 325km in The Lake District: The 'Not A Thing Ride' 2022

[@ChrisHallRides]

Just to mention the motorcyclist and everyone involved in the accident from the last we were told are ok. Obviously there were some pretty bad injuries to the motorcyclist but I believe he’s recovering. Thanks for the people who’ve messaged asking if everyone’s ok and if myself and the other cyclists who witnessed it are ok too

[@seankirkland8730]

Great vlog Chris. I've lived in the Lakes all my life there's so much beauty on my doorstep. The Borrowdale Valley is my go to place. Stay safe.

[@ChrisHallRides]

It’s an absolutely stunning part of the world isn’t it?

Great vid Chris!

Thanks so much!

Nice video Chris, first night accommodations looked the part! Very special location.

Honestly it was really cool!

Thank you :)

Great first vlog chris...and rocking a jam cycling sweater too..need more George

[@ChrisHallRides]

I saw him a few weeks back. He’s all good

[@JoeCincotta307]

Truly enjoyed this video. Hope you put out more vlogs of the style. The events, adventures, and all of the riding you do are exceptional !

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thank you. Yeah the hope is to try and do more of this over the next year

[@whitedk18]

@@ChrisHallRides Enjoyed it also Chris, When possible it'll be great to see more VLOGs ;)

Superb vloggage. Best regards from NE Thailand, 40 kms from the Mighty Mekong river and the Laos border.. You're a natural.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words

[@cb6866]

Thanks Chris...thanks for the update , and sharing the ride . Be safe out there , bud !

Thank you! Keep safe too

Thank you Chris. Great charity and stunning scenery - those blue blue skies!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much

[@grahambell9831]

Great to see your vlog Chris! "Lovleee!" ( Geordie twang there, love it as a fellow Geordie👍). Congratulations 👏 to all who conquered. Blummin' marvellous! I see your Fellow buddy Francis " slumming it" 😉😄 in Kona Hawaii for the Ironman world championships!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Hahaha yeah some people get the east choice right? Hawaii looked amazing

[@grahambell9831]

@@ChrisHallRides Hi Chris 👋 Hope to see vlogs 2 , 3 and beyond! Aye, Kona was spectacular. The women's & mens races were incredible, a great midnight watch! Looking forward to any catch up vlog with yourself & Francis ( maybe another Espana adventure in 2023? 🤞) Have a good week ahead 👊 , cheers, GB

[@dennis_aus_neukoelln]

Hey Chris, thanks for sharing. As much as I love those cinemativ Vlogs Francis is doing I am surprised how entertained I am by this more rough, seemingly more old school style of Vlog. You are great at presenting what's going on. Would like to watch more Vlogs of yours in the future. It's nice you could show some of the stuff tailfin is working on. Great to see them innovating and expanding setup possibilities. I feel like a bikepacking setup can never be perfect and there is always something to tweek. ;) The lake district looks beautiful. Need to put in on the list of places I want to ride my bike at. Cheers, Dennis

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks for the kind words, Dennis! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the video

[@adamhau5]

Loved this, thanks for sharing, hope there's more on the way!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thank you for watching. I'm going to try and increase the videos coming out, but do a mix of documentaries, podcasts and vlogs so all going to plan there will be some more but mainly for events style things like this

[@adamhau5]

The lot have been brilliant, looking forward to what's next!

[@CrazyKid7451]

Lovely stuff, Chris! Nicely done on the videoing and editing too, it being your first time and all ;) Looking forward to more!

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much. Really appreciated

[@Paulpedalsforcoffee]

That front mount bag is 👌🏼

[@ChrisHallRides]

Really cool right?

[@larrycox3378]

Very cool good time for a good cause Great vlog Chris. Hope there'll be some more

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much!

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Enjoyed that bro. Definitely do more clogs of the big stuff you do

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thank you mate. Yeah I'm wanting to mainly do it for the longer rides and events.

[@andrewbulloch]

Great video Chris, more like this please 🙏

[@ChrisHallRides]

I’m working on it ☺️

[@kevinlyon9501]

This was good for your first vlog, certainly looked a cracking weekend with that scenery and weather looked fairly good too.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yeah the weather was cold but perfect until the end

[@pedalbikebowes]

Thanks Chris. 20 mins well spent! 👏

Whoop whoop! Great vlog Chris. Hope there'll be more. 🤞

I’ll do my best when I think things are interesting

Your a natural Chris...very enjoyable watch, whilst sat in the warmth drinking a hot cuppa ;)

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks for watching!

[@Mincher]

That front bag looks pretty tidy.

[@ChrisHallRides]

It’s really neat isn’t it?

[@bantamtilidie]

Cracking video mate, hope you have the vlogging bug as I’d love to see more

[@ChrisHallRides]

I’ll probably do them for longer rides and challenges

[@dionllwyd2894]

Great vlog Chris keep them coming 💪

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much mate

[@christopherhood9241]

great video Chris.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Thanks so much!

[@markjthomson]

That bike bag out front looks like it solves some issues I'm trying to work out with my combination of light mounts! Any idea when Tailfin are going to release it?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Not sure to be honest. Still very much in the testing phase right now

[@themoodyteam]

3:32 Cold Fell Road. Which means that you rode past my parents’ house. Small world 😮

[@ChrisHallRides]

Nice!

[@markjthomson]

Getting up close and personal with accidents is really unpleasant! Definitely nothing like what most imagine. Good news the rider is recovering.

[@unfab]

What frame protection are you using for the bikepacking bags?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Because of how the bags attach to the frame, you don’t need any. They have a rubber part that contacts between the frame and the bag and the straps are specifically designed to not have the buckle contact with the frame and with the straps being rubber, they also just don’t move

[@unfab]

@@ChrisHallRides thanks! And also thank you for doing the 7day Everesting challenge. Donated, glad to watch you battle it out. Showed my gf the challenge, it was inspiring to say the least

[@ChrisHallRides]

@@unfab thank you so much for the kind words. It was the toughest thing I’ve ever done

[@unfab]

@@ChrisHallRides be glad to donate again, always for a good cause

[@Mrdirt22]

I probably wouldn't complain if you made more. 👍

[@ChrisHallRides]

I hope not 😊

[@bee_whisper]

can you be a strong cyclist on hills and still do endurance riding ?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yep of course you can

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

I'm a motorcyclist and all I have to say is if you don't respect how quickly and how deeply you can get hurt on one, well it'll happen.

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yeah unfortunately you’re right. My dad used to race motorcycles professionally. He never rode on open roads

[@o.tom1936]

First 2:02 mins in the local loop!

[@ChrisHallRides]

✌️✌️

[@richardworley7798]

How can I get on this 😬😁?

[@ChrisHallRides]

We share about the rides every year a few months before. Details always go up on www.zero-lemon.com and on my Instagram

[@seriousstuff50]

nice vid. Not sure what processed crap you were puting in your bottle ….real food is best especially as you have panniers

[@ChrisHallRides]

Yes real good is great but also I’m a big believer of getting carbs on board in your drinks. Always have done to definitely make sure I don’t bonk. I’ve found getting carbs in the drink is an easy way to do this

[@mrpokeit]

Shit a brick dood! Horrendous. Hope all involved OK.

[@ChrisHallRides]

It's still shaken me up quite a bit if I'm honest. The guy we found out survived but had some pretty major injuries.

[@mrpokeit]

@@ChrisHallRides Really not surprised to be honest mate. Very traumatizing for everyone involved. If it helps at all your being there so quick and able to render help immediately probably made a huge difference to the outcome. Glad to hear the guy survived.
