I designed the course - thank you so much for the compliments and thanks so much for keeping that smile. See you for Raiders Gravel.

Awesome work designing that course too then! Unfortunately I can’t make Raiders this year. Maybe next!
Sometimes adversity adds to the experience thanks to your Mech you got to enjoy the beauty of the area❤

So true!
Chris, you are an absolute star! Couldn't have imagined myself racing so soon after an injury but that's just me. Completely enjoyed your style of just enjoying riding a bicycle. That's the best style in my book!

Enjoyed it!
There's nothing quite like a mechanical-induced chilled bike ride -- you're just going to _enjoy_ yourself dammit, like it or not!!

Was great fun for sure!
Bits falling off does seem to be a feature this year. I reckon you made the best of it though, lovely weather, beautiful scenery and good company. Just needed more dogs and it would have been a perfect ride in the country. Thanks very much, I enjoyed that. Looking forward to the next one.

I think so too! Happy to have done this design for the team!
That looks like a lot of fun. Stunning scenery. I'm tempted to give Scotland a try but not on gravel.

Scotland is gorgeous. Both road and gravel
A comment, and a sub. Nice bloke.

Thank you! 👍
Bravo Chris. Q: would you consider trying the red shift suspension stem? Would take a lot of impact pressure off of your wrist… I have one fitted to my Rondo Ruut CF2 and it is my favorite bit of kit.
@ChrisHallRides

Yeah I’ve been really tempted to get one and try it out actually. I have at home one of the fox suspension gravel forks but didn’t fit it to this bike as I’m a tad worried it’ll affect the geometry. Th enve bars are also surprisingly good in terms of flex as well so they help a lot but yeah would be interested in trying one
Sorry to hear about the mechanical - setbacks like that are a drag. Still, you seem to have had a nice time and the views look stunning :) Cycling is amazing!

Nice ride...it had everything...including a nasty mechanical. 😜 Looks like a killer course. Question: in this sort of gravel event, do most riders use MTB shoes/SPD cleats?
@ChrisHallRides
Ай бұрын
yep most riders will be using some sort of mtb system
Are we on for a frontier 300 weather report too?
@ChrisHallRides

Yep!
Sack your mechanic....😂....8000 odd kms of mostly off road, only time my front mech moved was when i crashed...no Loctite anywhere on my bikes...
