    What a great movie. Highs and lows we have got a glimpse of it as well. Also helping a fellow rider in trouble shows what an awesome community of people you are. Watching it all unfold from a comfortable bed compared to you guys going through it all deserves nothing more than respect and appreciation for the massive effort you put in. Kind regards from the Netherlands and i am looking forward to your future endeavors.

The scenery really is stunning and a part of me wants to go back and finish the route. Back then, I had to scratch after three days because of dehydration.

    • @ChrisHallRides
      @ChrisHallRides  Рік тому +1

      I really enjoy the event and route. There’s a fantastic community aspect to it I enjoy. We have always tried to produce a film which is not all about racing. More about the experience which I think is a very different angle to what a lot of people talk about. I think it’s important to show that aspect, maybe more so than properly racing it as it’s way more relatable. If I wanted to properly race I don’t think we would do a film to be honest as part of doing a film needs to have me presenting parts of the route and explaining what’s happening. For me it’s an end of year fun event that I enjoy so racing it against others isn’t a high priority most of the time. Maybe that’ll change in the future and I’ll make it a focus? Being a Schwalbe sponsored rider has allowed me to get a place a few times but not every time I’ve done it. The first year I did it and for 2024 I entered. I also think it’s maybe easier to get a place in a pair as they don’t have as many entrants. 2024 I’m doing it as a pair

    Random story. I was on a field geology field trip back in 2010 in the Tabernas Basin. We were looking at some sedimentary beds in a river gorge that was bone dry.

I am asking because i am thinking of doing similar.

    Great quality vid, but my takeaway was; ‘Badlands saves the rural economy of Southern Spain, by stomping on it with it’s carbon footprint’ 🙄
    The right balance is so awkward 😬

      Can I ask why that’s what you took from it? Interested is all

      As an organisation they do a huge amount for supporting the community and environment. More than any other event I know of. Please go here to understand more: badlands.cc/rewild/

      @@JackBuchananHaguewell Chris made the point that the local area is economically deprived and young people are moving away. That Badlands is an economic boost in itself, with the hope that there will be follow up tourism from other cyclists (there must be a proper word /expression for this).
      However, he also pointed out the effects of climate change (they changed the route because of the bad weather).
      A lot of competitors presumably flew in to compete. Surprised by how many American accents I heard on this and other Badlands vids. Chris even had a van following him around. Possibly EV, probably not.
      EDIT: From the Badlands website; 317 competitors from 33 countries.

      ⁠@@ChrisHallRidesthanks for link, I will read it. I’m aware of other races that have tried to assess their carbon footprint. Pan Celtic for one and there’s a TCR offshoot coming up in the Balkans, which has banned flying in or out to the start/finish.

      I do have an interest in the area, my father (who is 84) was born relatively close to there. 400km, but still Southern Spain.
