The Dragon Ride cyclosportive is a circular, 120 or 180km non
competitive road cycle challenge ride over the hills and valleys of
South Wales. The Dragon Ride was one of the first annual
cyclosportives to be held in the UK and the first to gain a place on
the UCI calendar, 2008 is the fifth occasion this event has been
held.

The event is intended for experienced cyclists, unlike shorter
charity rides this is not a leisure ride and should only be
attempted by reasonably fit and competent riders. The event takes
place 3/4 weeks before the Tour of France Etape participation ride;
the Dragon Ride offers the only compatible climbs in the southern
UK, ideal as training for the Etape.

The 2008 route is a more intensified version of 07 course, with a
new start/finish venue at Pencoed College. Still included are two
ascent of the Bwlch mountain road, however this year they are in
different directions.
