Yeah I enjoyed it very much as well. I like this from the regs:
"Safety-approved cycling helmets are compulsory."
Hope it's enforced. (Yes I'm a member of the SS).0 -
I'm in too!
It was one of my favourite rides in 2006. Missed it last year through injury so looking forward to a great day out.0 -
I'm in too - hooray!

Think I got in - but a strange message at the end of the sign up process and no email confirmation. Anyway of checking Dragonmaster?0

I am in again this year, only doing 2 or 3 this year.
See if I can get below 5:20 this year
Better start training I guess.0 -
Thanks to Vermooten, for sending my the CW link, I'm in
Would like to meet Old Welshman though you will have showered and be outside your third beer by the time I flop over the line“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best..." Ernest Hemingway0 -
Cycling Weekly - 100 advanced Dragon Ride entries.
Your internet provided may be filtering out the confirmation message telling you you've entered the Dragon Ride.
We will also check with British Cycling, just in case there is a glitch in their system which sends out the confirmation.
There will be an entry list on the Dragon Ride website towards the end of the week showing the 100 entrants. The link to the memory map site for the detailed maps should also be available in the next few days.

Well you might meet me there Ken, depends when we start and how I feel on the day
Lets just say, I am probably the most noticable cyclist out of the entire field
If you see me , you will know it is me, I will say no more
Aha, just realised, it depends if it is warm enough for shorts I guess, with longs on I look the same as the rest 8)0 -

You'll be the one with the boat, or is it the camel toe?

Bngger bngger bngger. It clashes with the Welsh CA 50 . So welsh champs and a possible good BAR time or the Dragon....? Race.., or pretend race..?0

Go for the dragon Steve, much more fun than a TT which is not a race anyway
Ken. Yes the shorts are a bit tighs and loads of padding, I would like to claim it is my physique bulging but unfortunately its the shorts
You cannot quite make out all my tattoos in this pic as the sun is masking them, but you would certainly notice them when I am cycling . 0 -
Has anyone tried to enter yet? I don't seem to be able to register from their site.
EDIT: That's because I'm a day early. Right, back to bed it is then.0 -
You will be able to enter via the "Enter now" icons on the website www.dragonride.co.uk from one minute past midnight tonight.TL0

There was supposed to be a lits posted on the website of the 100 early entries via the CW website, but I can't see anything....???0

I've just enetered Rich0

We have now added the list of names from riders who entered in advance via Cycling Weekly.
Over the next few weeks we will gradually add the names of the rest of you who enter.
Please be patient as we may need to sort out any errors before posting the lists.

Thanks Lou.
Last man in the earlybirds...much like the result of the real thing.... :roll:0 -
I'm in and accomodation booked.
My wife has also entered as she reckoned it looked like fun last year. Should be entertaining trying to get her fit enough. :twisted:0 -
Entered. 180km. Crikey! :shock:0

Me again and another t-shirt.
O'h no what have I done?
I liked the roll out to Port Talbot as it gave me a chance to warm up and to chat to other people. Now we are straight into the first climb (I am a very slow climber) so will end up riding on my own.

Yippee, I've just signed up as well, along with all 3 days of the Tour of Wessex.
Looks as though there is a bit of training ahead of me in the New Year...0 -
Have enetered. Any recomendations for accomodation locally?0

Don't worry, there are a few of us trucks taking part, just join the slow lane convoy...
and take some pleasure in catching and passing a third of those that passed you on the way up during the descents. 0 -
Re, accomdation..
Last year we stayed at the the Best Western 'Heronston' Hotel in Bridgend, very impressed, food & rooms excellent, also a Spa & Pool, and plenty of other riders for the "war" stories over breakfast. £69.50 for two adults in a double room.
Enjoy.
