After the exciting build-up and the fantastic event that it was, we were in danger of the post-Dragon Ride blues hitting us hard this year.

However, the enthusiasm, words of thanks and quite frankly, AMAZING photos we saw online today have lifted our spirits and made us start looking forward to the 2024 edition already!

So, thank goodness for #MedalMonday inspiration! Whether you’re aching, a little blue or still on Cloud 9 after the event, we wanted to share with you some of our favourite posts to make you smile today.

 

1. Well done to these two members of the London Baroudeurs for smashing the challenge – how do you manage to look so fresh afterwards? Also, check out @itsonlyahill on Instagram to watch his beautifully shot reel covering the event!
