We had a long think & decided not to mark the Devon Grit routes with Arrows. Marking a 100km off-road single loop thoroughly is a huge job. It’s also extremely prone to tampering. It only needs one arrow turned the wrong way or removed to send everyone off course! For example, for the Exmouth Triathlon we organise locally, we checked all the arrows on the 20km bike course at 6.30am on the day of the race. By 8am, when the first riders arrived, a crucial arrow had been removed by someone & a number of riders went off course.

Self Navigation
Devon Grit is self-nav. We’ve decided to put our time & effort into producing excellent, accurate GPXs & course descriptions. And to providing technical support to make sure everyone arrives at the start line with the correct route loaded on their device of choice!
That said, based on feedback from last year, we will be putting out some arrows, particularly on the first section, where your Garmin or other device may not have locked onto the correct route.

Here are the routes for the Devon Grit. It's all rideable & all surfaces will be OK on 35mm or wider tyres (38-40mm recommended). We have made some minor changes to the route, particularly the Woodbury Common sections, which will improve navigation.

Just click on the bike icons on the map to see the 4 route options outlined. We're also adding an extra feed station for 2021.
