So what do you get if you win?
The 10th edition of the legendary Wiggle Dragon Ride, which has sold out every year since its inception, takes place on Sunday 9th June 2013.
You'll take off from the picturesque Margam Park on one of two challenging routes, the Gran Fondo (206km) and the Medio Fondo (125km). This year there's a new a women-only Cycletta, which will replace the previous Corto distance.
Then on Sunday 9th September the Wiggle Etape Cymru takes place - a 92 mile route on closed roads. Starting and finishing in Wrexham, you'll take in some truly testing terrain, described by Geraint Thomas as “gruelling” but “fantastic.”
Nick Rusling, CEO of organisers Human Race, said: “Following an award winning year in 2012 for the Etape Cymru and Wiggle Dragon Ride, we look forward to building on this success this year. We are delighted to have Wiggle on board as a partner for both events and believe their credibility will help to improve the event experience and make both events a huge success once again.”
