Wiggle Dragon Ride: Entries open on Thursday
Entries for the ever-popular Wiggle Dragon Ride officially open on Thursday, October 10. The Welsh sportive takes place on Sunday, June 8, and will include a mammoth 300km route featuring 3427 metres of climbing.
In addition to the 300km 'Dragon Devil' route, the ride also offers the traditional 232km Gran Fondo, 153km Medio Fondo and 50km Corto routes. Riders can expect a hilly ride in the beautiful surroundings of South Wales.
All routes start and finish at Margam Park, Port Talbot. The classic climbs of Rhigos, Black Mountain and Devil's Elbow are included.
Entry prices start at £32.50 for the 50km option, up to £87.50 for the 300km route. A women-only Cycletta ride over 50km is also available, priced £32.50.
In previous years the ride has sold out within hours of entries opening, so you may have to be quick when entries become available on the event website at 9am on Thursday.
