Organiser's Description
Our gravel event returns for a 6th year. Once again the route will be predominantly self-nav but the mini route on Woodbury Common will be fully marked as there are many places where there are multiple paths close together.
All four 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 & minimum recommended tyre width is 35mm. 40mm+ is probably the optimum.
