Tour of the Dragon Summary
Tour of The Dragon 268 kms Mountain Biking Race is one of the toughest mountains biking one day race in the world. If you are Mountain Biking Racer then we strongly recommend you to participate and feel the difference. Tour of the Dragon is not a road bike race or a classic mountain bike race, nor is it a gravel grinder, because it doesn’t fit into any of the categories defined by the UCI. Since the distance of the race is 200+ km, we would categorize it as an ultra-marathon mountain bike race on roads that happen to be extremely challenging.
Tour of the Dragon 268 kms starts from Bumthang (Saturday, September 2nd, 2017, 2:00 AM,) and travels 268 km over 4 mountain passes before finishing in Thimphu Clock Tower Square. It’s one of the toughest one-day mountain bike races in the world. Come be part of the Biggest and Toughest Mountain Biking race, sign up today!
