Our gravel event returns for a fifth year. It’s ideal for gravel bikes, MTBs, cyclocross bikes & ebikes & takes in the best gravel trails of East Devon.
All five routes take in some of the best sections of Woodbury Common. Highlights include Woodbury Castle & some great single track on the common, a section of the Exe Estuary path, a climb up for views of the sea at the top of Beacon Hill and also Mutter Moor.
The routes are designed to be ridden on a gravel bike but a cyclocross bike or a lightweight XC mountain bike will be almost as quick. E-mountain bikes are also welcome. The ride is not suitable for road bikes & we recommend a minimum tyre width of 35mm. Although we will put out some markers this event is self-nav so you will need a Garmin, Wahoo or phone for navigation purposes. Don’t underestimate these rides! You need to add at least 50 percent onto the distances to get the ‘road’ equivalent in time & energy required to take them on.
We are now able to offer camping at Bicton College over the bank holiday weekend.

But but we have hills (pretty steep ones there as I recall)! But but we have weather (it certainly does get wet / grimy / cold there in winter)!
Yeah, or ... it could be that even fewer people cycle in Scotland (1.5% of trips) and Wales (not sure) compared to the other regions mentioned ...
If you pluck an uncracked DS spoke, what's it feel like?
I never use the drops, 95% on the hoods, 5% on the tops. Plausibly why I'm so slow!
You're right of course. And whilst you can certainly minimise one, that's hardly the point. Good luck with the other.
"being called a 'fat weirdo', and being asked for a fight," Bizarre stuff. I think I would have had a hard time keeping a straight face.
