Great video and great achievement, Serafina. You have improved so much in one year. Kudos to you. Great to see you and some of the other rides during the morning. Well done to your friend Dan for a great video too. All the best in the future and keep spinning those pedals over! Darren
Thanks for last year! I couldn't have done it without you 😀 You rock dude! 👊 cheers for taking some pics this year too, was cool seeing you! 💪😁🚴♂️
wow. Great effort in tough conditions nice footage.
Thanks!! Tough but fun!! 😁 Dan did awesome on the filming 😀👊
Tregenza looked so hard! Maybe I'll try Dirty Dozen when I'm older. I wanna get into climbing, I'll try to do the Lynton Belair Trail sometime soon.
It was sooo hard! and that's what's awesome about it 😁 climbing is fun, challenging, exhilarating, brutal, it's really hard to describe! but the more you do it, the more you want to do it! I'm so excited you want to get into climbing, and do Dirty Dozen 🤩 the Lynton Belair is definitely a good training ground, it's hard, and don't worry if you have to go super slow, or even walk some of it, that's how we all start, we only ever get good by doing it 😃🚴♂️💪
Superb filming 👌
Agree!;Shoutout to Dan for that! 😀🙏👊
Wow,!! this video is amazing, the climbs are great, the decents looked a bit sketchy with some gravel in the roads 😬, cant believe you saw kangaroos too 🦘🦘,
Great filming by Dan too, and the editing is really good,
A big well done for completing the challenge, how much did the 42 help?? As im currently thinking of upgrading from my 32, and where i live is really hilly, and find myself having to stand up on the steep ones, thanks 😁👊
Yay! thanks!! 😁👊 It was such an awesome ride! definitely get a 42, it makes a huge difference, you still need to be able to climb and put the effort in but it takes the grind out so you can last the distance. It feels like powering up to the next level of fitness, if you're into lot's of climbing and tackling 20+ gradients, you'll be in climbers heaven 😍 ...I love the kangaroos too!
Very enjoyable ride the dirty dozen good video too hard for me only ride 4 kms a day to work 3 mornings a week
Thank you! 😁👊 yes, lots of riding in the hills needed to train to do Dirty Dozen, the only other way would be if your commute was up a 20% gradient every day!
