Dragon Ride
About the event
As one of the UK’s most iconic and respected cycling events, Dragon Ride captures the essential spirit of Wales, allowing riders to cycle through the breath-taking landscape of Brecon Beacons and experience the wild and rugged beauty of the Welsh countryside.
Catering for a large range of cyclists, Dragon Ride offers a variety of routes. From the Macmillan 100, a 98km cycle around the Brecon Beacons, to the infamous Dragon Devil - a bucket list 296km route with 4614m of ascent. The Medio Fondo, Gran Fondo and Dragon Devil all include the iconic Devil's Elbow - one of the most famous climbs in the area! Each route is designed to challenge riders with a series of difficult climbs and elevation.
