Exeter Road Cycling Events

Incredible season finale gran fondo with an Italian flair inspired by the Giro di Lombardia the race of the falling leaves.

Entries are open to individuals and teams (everybody gets an idividual result and gold/silver/bronze standard, all team members will also receive the combined team time and combined team standard of gold/silver or bronze).

Starting from the historic town of Okehampton, nestled below the northern peaks of Dartmoor, the Hammer Martello takes in a stunning tour of the super fast and extremely quiet roads of NW Devon and NE Cornwall.

The Martello has a distinctly classic feel and with a route profiles similar to the last one day monumment race of the season La Giro di Lombardia we have created our very own race of the falling leaves!

These routes will probably give you your highest avaerage speeds of any SW sportive this year!

Put your summer training to the test in the Wiggle Exmouth Ex-terminator in what is, as the name suggests, an event that is difficult to beat with its numerous tough climbs. Reflective of a true Devon sportive, with a tough, undulating hilly landscape the hard work will be worth it with unspoilt sea views, patchwork field views and quiet back roads reflective of the region.

Starting from Bicton College youll head towards the coast first of all as you reach the up-and-down gradients around Budleigh. Continuing to follow the stunning coastline, take in the sea views as you ride past Sidmouth and touch the tip of the stunning Salcombe Regis.

Just as you think the gradient is settling down when youre heading out towards Seaton, itll slowly start to ramp up once more until you reach a momentary climbing peak, rolling along the top of a plateau, before plunging into another series of hilly drops and climbs.

Crossing over the A303, youll head in-land. Eventually, youll reach the last climb of note before reaching Tiverton from which point its relatively plain sailing all the way back to ride HQ for a finishers medal, t-shirt and PowerBar recovery product. If this ride hasnt terminated you, were sure youll be saying Ill be back for more.
