UCI International Commissaires will be in attendance as part of the ongoing assessment of the Dragon Ride for potential inclusion as the UK round of the UCI Golden Bike Series.
The Dragon Ride is the only UK ciclosportive where entrants will have their ride packs (numbers, timing chip, final instructions and any clothing purchased) posted out to them, ruling out the need to register before the event. Just turn up on the morning of the event and ride!
The 180km (Gran Fondo) riders will depart at 8am in no particular order, basically as the riders arrive, the 120k (Medio Fondo) will depart once all the 180k riders have departed, probably around 08.30.
There will be 11 motorcycle marshals of whom two will be paramedics and 5 ambulances in attendance.
Riders will have mechanical support provided by Tredz.co.uk at the start, all feedstations and via a roving support vehicle.
Additional toilet facilities will be sited at the start/ finish and the feedstations.
High5 will once again supply the energy drink, Giant are the official bike supplier and Hyundai / Jacksons Garages are to supply the official event vehicles.
We are planning to have free massage services for riders at the finish.
There will be split timing points on both 180 & 120km routes.
