Dragon XC – Round 3
DATE
Sunday 9th September 2007. Start Time: 12pm
LOCATION
Llaneglwys Forest, Llaneglwys, Brecon
COURSE DESCRIPTION
A hilly 7.6km course that picks the very best pieces of the challenging singletrack Llaneglwys has to offer. Used for the last three Merida Enduro’s, the forest has become a well established location to test your XC skills. The singletrack is stitched together with some good fireroad to make sure you get a good workout. Singletrack accounts for around 40% of the lap distance.
