Less than 24 hours after online entries for the 2010 Verenti Dragon Ride opened and over a third on the places have been filled by riders keen to be part of Britain’s best loved sportive.

Entry facilities went live on the stroke of midnight on December 28th and by midday on the same day 1200 riders had signed up to take part in the event recently voted by read-ers of ‘Cycling Weekly’ as the best sportive ride in the UK for a second year running.

1200 entries represents a third of the totally available for 2010. In comparison to the same opening period in 2009, entries have doubled in volume over half the period of time, a testament to the strength of the sportive movement and the Verenti Dragon Ride itself.

In an expansion of the Verenti Dragon Ride for 2010 a third short or ‟Corto‟ distance has been added for those wishing life at a slightly less strenuous pace and for those dipping their toes in sportive waters for the first time.

The Verenti Dragon Ride will take place on 6th June 2010 over 190km, 130km and the new 40km distances starting and finishing at Pencoed Technology Park and encompass-ing over 3000m of climbing for the Gran Fondo.

Individual and corporate packages available immediately from £199. Standard entries open online at midnight 27/28th December 2009 with individual entries for the longer rides priced at £30, the new Corto ride can be entered online at £20.
