For 2026, we have flipped the route, meaning you will be tackling South Wales’ most iconic ascents from the entirely opposite, untamed side. To help you prepare for the unique demands of the reversed routes we have worked with Simon Warren, author of the internationally renowned 100 Climbs Series, to create a Climbs Guide profiling each of the major climbs featured across the Dragon Ride.

Click on the guide to see the climbs that makes one of the oldest and most iconic sportives in the UK.
