On Saturday, October 31, 2015 as the sun started it’s climb, Kelley (KB) embarks on a journey south in search of Drogon.

KB heard Drogon was in a World which David owned. Arriving in Lakeland, KB walked through the portal of David’s World and conquered Drogon. After securing the beast, KB headed to the nearest trail to ride and tame his newly found beast while becoming one with it.

The Ride

The day started at 75.2 degrees with a nice temperate breeze. KB rode like the wind, as he needed to test Drogon’s wings and power. He burned through the first mile while learning how to clip and de-clip from the new pedals. This is the first time KB clips into the bike pedal. KB is pushing Drogon to the low 20 mph in the first 10 miles. While in his mind he is thinking, “I should pace myself,” but Drogon is cruising and asking KB, “Is that all you have?” This is a classic duel of beast versus owner. Who will win?

At the 20 mile turn around point, KB is feeling the burn coming on but will not yield to Drogon. After a short break, KB heads back. KB again pushes the pace until the 30 mile marker where Drogon and KB start to become one. The bond between man and beast strengthens as the ride nears its end at the 40 mile marker.

KB and Drogon are now ready to ride tomorrow, November 1, 2015, in Cycle the City.
