Just before the 2023 Cycling World Championships on Glasgow, I decided to cycle from Goodwood all the way up to Glasgow, ticking off all the previous World Championship locations in the UK. These are Goodwood, Leicester, Liverpool, Leeds/Harrogate and Glasgow. In this short film you can see what happened over the course of the adventure.
Thanks to Shimano for funding the documentary.

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

@@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...
