Round 3 of the Dragon series last weekend at Mynydd Du. A great days racing by all accounts with sloppy conditions, big road gaps and FAST times. Top spot to Ralph Jones.

Results are

FoelDHRiders Bank Holiday Jam
And at the other end of Wales...The FoelDHRiders at Foel Gasnach had another Bank Holiday Jam.

Racing was down Track's 1 and 4 with a BBQ and some chilled runs to end the day. Top spot in the 'Best' cat went to Emyr Davies and in the 'Rest' to Tom Clarkeson. Prizes donated by The Edge Cycleworks in Chester and Wideopenmag.

Ems managed to set a Track 1 record later in the day with a 1:27. Hot on his heels was Michael Langford... one of the New Zealand under 19's Worlds team who'd popped over for some Fort Bill training. With only 3 runs of the track he was dropping his chain and STILL hitting 1:31's. Close but no cigar!
A great day's racing on a great hill. Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
