The Dragon Ride (Dragon Devil) - slain!
Рет қаралды 1,476
Ай бұрын13 weeks after surgery for a torn meniscus, after deferring my Fred Whitton place until 2025, my first challenge back was the Dragon Devil. 296km, 4400m of climbing in the Brecon Beacons.
Was I capable?

It's getting there slowly Phil. I've put easy too much weight on - stress. Really need to sort that out, sharpish.

@@CycletheNation Progress encouraged progress - and with the fitness coming on stream and the KMs increasing the weight will follow. Hope the stress eases too 🤞

Was a fantastic ride, the staff, feed stops and route were all absolutely brilliant. I shouted nice paint to you just before the staircase 😂

Good work Scott. The route we done is the best I’ve ever done. The food stops the organisation was spot on. I’ve done the Fred and this was so much better. The descending is not dangerous and the climbs are gradual. Will do doing it again 100%

some amazing sections of road, like home :-) how does it compare to The Fred?

I was supposed to do the Devil in 2020, but we all know what happened that year. By the time 2021 rolled around I wasn't feeling up to it. Still there, nagging at the back of my mind. I've done the Fred twice, and the Dragon Ride looks like a nice alternative. Bit more of a trek to get to the start from Lancaster though 😂😂

Yeah, it's a bit further, took me 5.5 hours to get back, I'm 20 minutes north of you! Would recommend it though...

Great ride Scott, well done 👍But don't you find these ostentatious 'look at me here I am' freewheels so annoying!!! And for all the wattage obsessives it must be self-defeating because simple physics dictates that it takes more energy (so in this case friction i.e. drag) to generate a loud noise than a quiet one...............
@CycletheNation Ай бұрын
Cheers. ☺️ Honestly, I think your opinions on why people have loud freewheels is misplaced. I don't know anyone that gets one to show off, they just have the one that comes with the bike / wheelset. The noise / wattage doesn't make any difference either really, as nobody is bothered about losing 0.1w, especially as when the freewheel is making the noise, the rider isn't pedalling anyway. Plus, I like a loud one, it's as good as a bell for me.

@@CycletheNationat the Fred I used disc brake squeals and loud freewheels to indicate if riders ahead of me were hesitating or dealing with a hazard. It worked well
