About the Event

Gear up for a themed cycling adventure at The Taunton Flyer on Sunday, 26th April 2026, a popular early-season sportive starting from the historic Smeatharpe Airfield in Devon. Choose from three aptly named, fully-signed routes inspired by wartime aircraft: the challenging 101-mile "Wellington," the classic 63-mile "Dakota," or the accessible 37-mile "Spitfire," each exploring the Blackdown Hills and past former RAF bases. With professional chip timing, well-stocked feed stations, and full mechanical and medical support, the event offers a premium riding experience whether you're chasing a Gold standard time or enjoying the scenic Somerset and Devon countryside. Your entry includes a finisher's medal, an event T-shirt for early registrations, and the knowledge that you're supporting SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity. As a perfect spring fitness test, the 2026 edition promises flowing roads, a few testing climbs, and a fantastic atmosphere at the airfield HQ, making it a must-do for road cyclists seeking a well-organized and memorable day out.
