Freddie: Part 3 is finally here! Our ‘beginner’ Freddie has reached the end of his 7-week Wahoo SYSTM training plan and it’s now time for his first sportive: the Mallorca 312. This epic event is over 300km in length and a massive challenge for Freddie who has never even climbed a mountain before this ride! With Ollie by his side as domestique, it’s time to see if all Freddie’s hard work has paid off!

What a hero! How inspirational is Freddie?
Why I just watched this just now?
Freddie's riding position seems quite low.
Great content! Very encouraging! Love it!
Where is Freddie now?
Really Emotional at the end…Loved every bit of it…#respect man
well done, amazing job! I was just asking myself if the cadence was to high? He was pedaling like crazy? I assume this makes you tired as well, right?
Respect the Freddie
made me tear up a little….realy inspiring.
Amazing work Freddie!
Great job Freddie!
Easy
More Freddie on GCN!!
"I realized that it wasn't that I didn't want to live, it just that I didn't want to be in pain anymore."
Hope he is still riding and doing well, made me want to get a training programme under my belt after a few rides that I’ve done……
Freddie, you are my hero and rolemodel, and Ollie, thanks! You are a superfantastic supporting trainer 🙂
Just saw this. What an inspiring story! Well done
I completed the 312 last week and this video was the inspiration! Great work GCN!
Freddie, you're an inspiration for a lot of us and you deserve to know!
Freddie for Prime Minister
Freddie your a legend – well done mate , Ollie was the perfect mentor for this – chapeau 🚴♂️☀️😎🤜🏻
Amazing effort.
What I don't understand is Freddies high cadence. Isn't that eating all his energy?
Could not be better if scripted. How many actual road miles to trainer miles?
What a great adventure Freddie, well done Sir!
I plan on riding at least 1500 KM. Any tips? From Tallinn Estonia to Budapest.
Jesus Christ, what a bloody legend .
Great video as so many have said. Perhaps all of us have had dark times in our lives and how encouraging this story is. But also perhaps this story can inspire us to be more like Ollie and look for opportunities to reach out to others during their dark times as well.
There's no way i could finnish that ride, and I've been riding 40 years now.
Wow! Thank you for this! It was really empowering. I have been dealing with depression for a while and a again this spring. I just started cycling and hoping to make it a hobby/routine <3
I've recently taken up cycling to help build up my leg muscles after several knee operations last year. Im suffering with arthritis, and if I do nothing I'll need a joint replacement in 5 years, my hope is to make that at least 10 years instead. Watching GCN has helped me a lot, with the wealth of tips, you guys are awesome and so is Freddie. He's someone to aspire to be like. Keep giving us fantastic content like this, it really motivates me.
Thanks you for the inspiration Freddie, keep going, keep challenging yourself !
12:20 He's right behind me, isn't he?
5:41 the Candace difference 😮
Congrats mate! Cheers to your success!!!
We got something called "vätternrundan " in sweden, its 310 km. Me and my friend is going to try doing it on our minibikes.
“I just didn’t want to feel the pain anymore” WOW! As someone whose at one time ready to end it, this video hit me hard. Everyone is cheering for Freddie! He’ll be doing Ultra Endurance soon! Go Freddie!!!
Great video. I can relate to Freddie. I went into depression when my father died, when I was 19 yrs. old. After a month of only to eat and go to the bathroom. I didn't leave my bed. But, I decided that I can't go on like this, I have to start living again. Nothing makes you feel more alive than cycling! Beautiful scenery, fresh air and the feeling of, that your not alone. Amazing!
What helmet is Freddie using? 🙂
Thank you for sharing.
Well done. You nailed it bro. My catch phrase too:)
proud of you freddieeeeeee.
Freddie your an absolute legend you have such a hero you have just proved to the whole world that you can do anything in life Thankyou mate I really want to follow in your footsteps
Your a amazing legend ❤
Freddie is a champ. I've been watching a lot of GCN videos lately and this series was by far the best one.
