Devon Grit

About the Event

Returning for its sixth year, this gravel event offers an immersive experience through the captivating landscapes of Woodbury Common. The course features predominantly self-navigation with clear markings on the challenging mini route across Woodbury Common, ensuring riders can enjoy multiple paths without getting lost.
The routes are meticulously crafted to showcase some of the most scenic areas within Woodbury Common, including iconic landmarks like Woodbury Castle and sections of single-track trails. Riders will also traverse a portion of the Exe Estuary path before tackling Beacon Hill for breathtaking sea views at the summit. The terrain includes Mutter Moor, adding variety with its unique challenges.
Designed primarily for gravel bikes, this event welcomes cyclocross or lightweight XC mountain bikes as well, making it accessible to those looking to explore different cycling styles. Electric mountain bikes are also permitted, enhancing accessibility and enjoyment. However, road bikes are not recommended due to the nature of the terrain; a minimum tyre width of 35mm is suggested, with 40mm+ being ideal for optimal performance.
Participants can expect professional chip timing and event number boards to track their progress accurately throughout the ride. The four route options—110K, 82K, 70K, and 43K—are complemented by detailed GPX files and comprehensive route descriptions. Feedstations along the way provide essential refreshments such as quiche, cake, water, energy gels, and bars to keep riders fueled.
Safety is a top priority with professional first aid services on standby and fully insured coverage for all participants. A bike and rider recovery service ensures that any mechanical issues are swiftly addressed, allowing everyone to focus on the ride ahead. Upon completion of your journey, caterers at the finish line will offer hot food and drinks to help you recover.
Enhance your experience with a Sportiva Events branded water bottle, adding a touch of flair as you navigate through this beautiful landscape. Join us for an unforgettable day filled with stunning scenery and challenging terrain.
