Museeuw Bikes Enter the Dragon

 

Britain’s biggest Ciclosportive, The Dragon Ride, is to be supported by top distributor Onimpex and Museeuw Bikes in a 2 year deal starting in 2008.

 

The ride, which winds its way through the challenging Brecon Beacons and takes in some of the longest and hardest climbs of any sportive in Britain, is proud to add these prestigious names to its increasing list of supporters.

 

Onimpex and Museeuw Bikes will provide technical advice on ‘building the perfect sportive bicycle’ in the run up to the event itself in a series of articles to run on the Dragon Ride website.

Built around the revolutionary and ultra comfortable flax framed Museeuw MF5 frame the articles will take an in-depth look the very best components, shoes and clothing available to the sportive rider from around the world.

 

"I really pleased with this deal," adds Lou Lusardi, founder and organiser of the event, "the Dragon Ride is the biggest event of its kind in the UK and the most established. We have big plans for the future and I was thrilled to meet with Johan Museeuw and discover his enthusiasm for our dream of the future."

 

The Dragon Ride will be running its 5th anniversary event in 2008 with a new out of town start and finish location but still taking in the leg breaking climb of the Bwlch and the long sweep across the Brecon Beacons.

 

This year 3000 riders from all over the world will travel to south Wales to take part in the event and Onimpex together with Museeuw will be present to display their superb range of top Italian and Belgian products and tackle the fire breathing bike ride for themselves.
