How to prep for a Gravel Ultra Race: Badlands 2022
Спорт
Badlands. A race renowned for its diverse landscapes and attracting some names well known from within and outside of the sport. From deserts to forests, coasts to summits, Badlands has it all. And all the drama. 2022 is my second time at the race, tackling on probably the most beautiful and brutal ultra race out there. In this 3 part video series, I'll be showing you the highs and lows of taking part in Badlands. Thanks to Schwalbe, Shimano, Cervélo and Tailfin for helping to fund this documentary series.
I've also set up a Patreon if you'd like to help support the channel for less than the price of a fancy London coffee and croissant: / chrishallrides

Nice to get an insight into Schwalbe headquarters (with the later winner of the race sneaking by, if I´m at all correct), seeing the bikes and also briefly Sandra Schuberth and her pink Veloheld.

He’s an absolute legend. I have a lot of time for Chris! He’s actually helping organise Badlands now and living out in Spain as well. I hope you enjoyed this one. There’s another which dropped yesterday and again next week. Turns out we have made it into a 5 parter haha
Hope you get a boost to your likes and subs you deserve it
