For anyone not able to get into the dragn ride, this is in the same area, a bit shorter but with harder climbs.
Highly reccomended, the organisers are good and the course is even better than the Dragon ride as there are more smaller roads and devilish descents. Oh and its on a saturday for a change
I'm doing it and judging by the course will probably never go back
