Dragon 2-Day

Well I’ve taken the plunge…..!!

I have now entered the LVRC Dragon 2 Day on 1st/2nd June which is held in the Neath Valley at Resolven.

It would be good to get a few of us HCC Vets down there to give it a go.

Below is an extract from the LVRC website with some more detail about the event.

I will be working on the events calendar next week on the HCC website and will publish my race plan and some suggestions as to which events might be good to do ahead of our own race on August 18th. …

04/05/2013 – DRAGON TWO DAY – A WELL KEPT WELSH SECRET
DRAGON TWO DAY

The only LVRC event in Wales, the long established Dragon Two Day at Resolven near Neath must be one of the Principalities best kept secrets as organiser Austin Heath, his wife Jen and his small band of helpers never seem to get the kind of field this excellent event deserves.

This may change this year when the 3 stage event is held on Saturday 1st June and Sunday 2nd June as to date the race up and down Neath Valley has attracted 53 entrants with more anticipated before the race.

The event starts with a 3.5 miles time trial on Saty morning. In the afternoon, ABC categories ride 43 miles with DEFGH 35 miles; Stage 3 on Sun morning is 56 miles for ABC’s and 42 for DEFGH’s. The entry fee is £20.

Motorcycle marshals protect the riders and there are plenty of B&B’s in the area. Ideal for a weekend away. The course may be flat but with windy conditions, the racing is always good.

Why not give it a try? Entries to Austin Heath, Melrose, 12, Heol Morlais, Llannon, Carmarthenhire SA 14 6BD Tel 07977 905518.
