The Dragon Ride

If you're a really keen cyclist then you might want to consider entering the Dragon Ride.  A testing course of up 200km tackling some of the most fearsome climbs in the Southern Wales Valleys and Brecon Beacons including the Bwlch and the Rhigos.

The ride has been voted Britain's favourite Sportive by readers of "Cycling Weekly" for the last three years.

The views along the route are sure to be spectacular, I only hope the riders are able to appreciate them!

This tough event, which is only suitable for serious cyclists, takes place each June and more information and how to enter can be found on the Dragon Ride website

And just to whet your appetite, here's a video from the 2011 ride to give you an idea of what the cyclists face
