A shambles is an excellent word to describe it! If I'm ever in South Wales with two wheels I'll give you a shout Hann. I must admit the area looked very promising but alas the organisers didn't do it justice. It looks like good running country too.

My Dad heard about the Dragon Ride in Cycling Weekly and thought it might be a good one but he's never going to ride it again now. The worrying thing is it's going to be a UCI Gold standard event next year. I wonder what all those European riders who turn up next year will make of it?
