About the Event

Venture into the picturesque landscapes of Woodbury Common for an unforgettable cycling experience. The route winds through some of the most scenic areas, featuring historic Woodbury Castle and exhilarating single-track trails that showcase the beauty and diversity of this natural setting.
The course also includes a segment along the Exe Estuary path, where cyclists can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding wetlands and wildlife. For those seeking an additional challenge, there's a climb up Beacon Hill, which rewards riders with stunning vistas overlooking the sea. Another highlight is Mutter Moor, offering serene landscapes that are perfect for leisurely riding.
This event caters to various types of bikes but primarily favors gravel bikes due to their versatility on mixed terrain. Cyclocross and lightweight XC mountain bikes also perform well here. E-mountain bikes are welcome too, providing an extra boost through challenging sections. However, road bikes are not recommended as they may struggle with the varied surfaces.
To ensure a smooth ride throughout the event, cyclists should opt for tires at least 35mm wide to handle the diverse terrain effectively.
