  2. The 2018 Dragon Slayer “It’s the Texas version of Leadville, only harder” A grassroots ultra-endurance trail ride Brought to you by EnduraRace LLC USA Cycling permit # 2018-1939 “It’s the Texas version of Leadville, only harder”. The folks at EnduraRace are up to their usual tricks again and bringing back another soul crushing ultra-marathon trail ride at the IMBA Epic Goodwater. Apart from looking somewhat like a dragon on the map, Goodwater is a bike and body destroying loop of relentless rock-gardens amid technical climbs and descents. One lap alone is punishing. The challenge is to ride three. Each 27mile lap climbs more than 1500’ and few of the climbs are easy. The Dragon is a dangerous trail that is best suited for an intermediate to advanced rider. It is not beginner friendly. The 27-mile-long IMBA Epic Goodwater loop of Lake Georgetown leaving from Russell Park located at 2101 CR 262, Georgetown, TX 78633. Park between the dam and the ranger station outside the park gates. Camping is available at several sites around Lake Georgetown, but the sites at Russell Park are the ones within a short riding distance to the event. http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/georgetown/Recreation/Camping/ SCHEDULE: May 4th 6pm: 2018 Registration Opens online at www.USACycling.org Guided pre-ride laps 8am-noon on May 19th, May 26th, November 3rd, November 10th same location, weather allowing November 16th, 2018 Online Registration closes at midnight.
