Sri Lanka is an amazing country people awesome and island lifestyle relaxed Got to try the ‘egg poppers’ and if you get a chance but will be no more riding after your quads will be shot Climb Adams peak high up in the tea plantations
Does one really need more than one gear? I recently (re)discovered fixed gear touring and can highly recommend it! But of course it is way more fun if you´re doing it voluntarily 😉...
Is there a travel company behind this? Love to have a support vehicle and do something like this in Sri Lanka with a group of friends and like minded individuals!
A big part of this trip is testing out the potential in this. We are working with Sri Lankan Airlines for it and I believe they have already got some stuff in place but are looking at options to expand into gravel more. I’d really recommend everything we have done so far!
@@ChrisHallRides brilliant, excited to see how this develops and loving your work Chris. Tried to stay on your wheel in Calpe back in February when i came across the group you were training with, and got dropped very quickly! Keep up the great work!

Elephant sighting - next a leopard!
The dogs there all seem so happy
Yeah they’re actually really friendly
the difference between being in 1 gear and a dedicated single speed is surprisingly large.....and jackfruit curry is the food of the gods IMHO ❤️
It was truly delicious!

Hello again Chris, another top video 🌄👏, really enjoying this sri lankan series of vlogs.
More to come! I edited a bunch on the flight home but then the files corrupted 🥲
@ChrisHallRides evening Chris, I hope your vlogs are okay to publish. My fingers are crossed ! 🤞
What kind of shoes were you wearing at that last clip, the orange ones. The toe box on them looked like they would fit a wide foto really well.

Chris, please add LPF on all your audio files. It’s impossible to watch your videos with massive speakers or with subwoofer. Great videos.
Noted!

Where I live is very hilly, so yes, I need 22 lol
Haha after today (the next video) I’d say yes you need more than one gear haha
@@ChrisHallRides Looking forward to seeing you make your case for gears 😅!

A little bit bigger then average if you ask me.
A good sized banana and nothing to be ashamed of. 10:13
