Three of the UK’s best-attended cyclosportive rides have reported record numbers of participants signing up for their 2010 editions just days after opening for online entries. The Verenti Dragon Ride, which takes place on 6th June, filled one third of places within 24 hours of opening while the Dartmoor Classic and Northern Rock Cyclone, which will run on 27th June and 12th June respectively, are both ahead of 2009 figures by substantial margins.

All three rides still have places available and can be entered through their respective websites: www.dragonride.co.uk, www.dartmoorclassic.co.uk and www.northernrockcyclone.co.uk.
