Calling all keen cyclists! Gird your loins, show some Welsh grit and join the Dragon Dash all the way from Cardiff to London raising money for help for Heroes!

Our first Hero Ride to start in Wales, the Cardiff to London route lasts 170 miles. Leaving vibrant Cardiff city centre the route heads due east to London, crossing the mighty River Severn. After a stopover in the historic market town of Chippenham in Wiltshire, we ride alongside some of our wounded servicemen and women, through the scenic Home Counties before arriving at Blackheath Common for the exciting climax of the ride when we join the other routes to cycle en mass through London!
