Dragon Ride Standards?

Stuck on a Giant · June 2007

Does anyone have a link to the standards? I haven't seen anything in my pack, or found it on the website. How do they compare to the Highclere standards for difficulty?
I'm looking for the times for Male, 42, and Female, 40-50 category.

Cheers

I'm not sure any standards have been published. I was also looking.

Hopefully they will be revising them given the latest update by the organisers:

"22nd June 2007
With only 2 days to go before the 4th edition of the Dragon Ride hopefully you are all as well prepared and fully trained as you can be!

The weather forecast for Sunday is not good:
The Met Office report for the Brecon Beacons is; Outlook for Sunday Sunny intervals, interspersed with showers during the day. Generally becoming breezier, with strong winds expected on the summits. Temperatures will be lower than normal, feeling considerably cooler in the stronger winds and isolated showers.

In light of that we strongly recommend that you bring warm wet weather gear and when on the ride consider taking the shorter route if the weather is bad. We may possibly close off access to the longer route earlier if the need arises."

Is that a usable excuse for only doing the short route...my prayers answered with no loss of face.

I don't think they revise standards.
I did dartmoor and Cymru Gran Fondo in torrential rain and they did not change standards.
