SUMMARY:Dragon Ride 2027
DESCRIPTION:The Dragon Ride is one of the oldest and most iconic sportives in the UK\,  renowned as being the toughest  and most legendary in the British Isles. It will\, once again\, be returning to Margam Park for what will be the 23rd edition – The date is set for Sunday 13 June 2027. \nLou Lusardi birthed the very first Dragon Ride in 2004\, with just 280 riders\, he was inspired by the popularity of Italian Gran Fondo’s in his home country. At the time there were only a handful of sportives in the UK and Lou saw an opportunity to bring this type of event to the Brecon Beacons. An insight that has proven correct and stood the test of time\, with thousands every year now slaying the gruelling Dragon Ride. The 2025 event saw 4\,700 entries. \nThis has been a very popular event for Team De Ver riders\, there are usually between 10+ riders taking part\, most of whom select the “Gran Fondo”. \nFour routes/distances available – \n\nMacmillan 100 (99km)\nMedio Fondo (153km)\nGran Fondo (222km)\nDragon Devil (298km)\n\nAs of July 2026 there was a short entry window open for early registration – https://www.dragonride.co.uk/enter-event/ – this window closed shortly after. \nYou can use the same link to register for priority access to the next wave of registrations – do that now! – after that entries will be limited to Charity entry (supporting Macmillan) and Premium entry (higher cost).

SUMMARY:Dunwich Dynamo 2027
DESCRIPTION:Mark the weekend of Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th July on your calendar. \nWe have listed this as a Sportive but it is NOT a sportive. It is a tradition. An experience. A wonderful thing that should be ticked-off on every cyclist’s bucket list. \nIf you’ve never ridden through the night before\, this is the one to do – the big one\, the best one\, the real deal. Every year it’s a different experience depending on who you are with\, who you meet\, what the weather is like\, and for all the random stuff that happens on the way. \nTHIS IS NOT A RACE! – It’s about the journey\, not the destination! \nLegend has it\, the first DD was in the early ’90s when a couple of bike couriers who were tired of their week in London\, they set off riding into the night and just kept going until they reached the sea. They ended up at the beach of Dunwich in time to watch the sun rise over the sea. \nHistorical fact: Dunwich (Saxmundham) was once a thriving port city and capital of East Anglia that\, over 100s of years of coastal erosion\, has completely disappeared into the sea. \nSome basic background details – \n\nIt takes place on the weekend of the full moon nearest to the date of the summer solstice\, to get the longest brightest warmest night\nOrganisation is deliberately minimal – there is no entry fee\, no timing chips\, no start line\, no finish line\, no entry fee\, no marshals\nThe ride starts at the Pub on the Park in Hackney\, East London\, with everyone slowly gathering in London Fields during the evening\nYou leave when you’re ready\, generally any time between 7-10pm with most leaving between 8-9pm\nThe distance is around 112 miles (180km) with not much climbing\, about 4600 feet (1400m)\nThere is no official map of the route but instead a list of places/waypoints. But we are in the 2020s so GPS routes are available online (example below)\nPubs are open on the way\, many riders will stop at Moreton which is the first quiet country village\, other pubs in Finchingfield etc stay open all night serving cake and coffee\nThere is usually a village hall open half-way where you can open up your own picnic or buy soup/roll\, plus locals sometimes also offer bbq/breakfast in their garden\nWhen you arrive at the beach in Dunwich\, dump your bike and go and have a greasy spoon breakfast in the cafe (cans of beer/cider available) then go for a dip in the sea\nThe only organised part is by Southwark Cyclists\, who organise a convoy of coaches from Dunwich to London (bikes in removal vans) which must be booked in advance (cost £54.99)\nGetting home by train is possible but difficult so don’t rely on the local station\, you may need to ride to Ipswich and there are likely to be strict restrictions where you require valid bike booking in advance\nOther routes home include parking nearby on Friday/Saturday and take the train home\, talk a loved one into driving the beach car park to pick you up\, or just ride all the way back\nAdvice: Rest and sleep well the night before\, have a good meal on Saturday afternoon\, make sure your bike lights are fully charged or have new batteries and switch your rear to constant (not flashing)\, those behind you will be grateful. Enjoy the ride!\n\n\nResources\nThe Dunwich Dynamo Facebook page is a great source of information and news\nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/DunwichDynamo \nUnofficial site with some useful information/links\nhttps://www.dunwichdynamo.co.uk/ \nLondon School of Cycling\, check their advice link\nhttps://www.londonschoolofcycling.co.uk/content.php?id=18 \nInformation on the area in Dunwich\nhttps://www.thesuffolkcoast.co.uk/suffolk-coast-towns-and-villages/dunwich \nSouthwark Cyclists will likely organise a coach service\, check their website in May/June\nhttps://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/ \nTWR (Together We Ride) may also organise a coach service. See their post on the DD Facebook page or TWR social media\nhttps://togetherweridecic.co.uk/dunwich-dynamo-tour/ \nRoute on RidewithGPS\nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/24093 \n\nfrom London School of Cycling website:\nThe Dunwich Dynamo is a 200 km night ride from London to the lost city of Dunwich on the Suffolk Coast. From 1992 to 1998 it ran as commercial pay-to-enter event. In 1999 it became a free\, traditional event; something like Christmas but with less eating and more travelling by bike. This successful format has continued since 2000. \nSetting a date for an informal ‘turn-up-and-ride’ event – on the Saturday night nearest a full moon in July – maintains the most important element of the great festival of frivolity\, the company of other riders. \n\n\nCredit: Christine Stuc 2019 \nCredit: Mark Dalby 2017 \nCredit: Phil Thrower 2023
