One year after undergoing spinal surgery for a debilitating herniated disc, Rich returns to the saddle for his most grueling challenge yet: riding the entire length of Snowdonia National Park in a single day. Facing brutal February weather, saturated bogs, and over 2,000 meters of climbing, this ride is a test of both his physical recovery and his mental fortitude. Join Rich as he pushes his limits to find out if “the old Rich” is finally back.
