Overview
The Exmouth Exodus is one of the classic rides of the South-West! A lovely route and the challenge of riding through the night to dawn, with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. This year the ride returns to its roots with a departure from Bristol, and then 160 km (100 miles) to the sea at Exmouth; it also coincides exactly with the full moon so clear skies will mean a well-lit path.
Description
Leaving Bristol via the suspension bridge you head towards Clevedon, where a short diversion could set you up for a coast-to-coast! Climbing the Mendips you descend Cheddar Gorge for the first stop, then though the night across the levels towards the Blackdown Hills. A second stop gives you a chance to rest before the climbs, then before you know it you'll be heading through East Devon lanes in the dawn light. You've earned a breakfast at the cafe and dip your toes in the sea!
1st Cheddar Scouts will be selling snacks in Cheddar, with a further stop at Neroche Hall where food will be available for purchase. The cafe in Exmouth should be open early (TBC).
There is no charge to enter the event but donations to help Audax Club Bristol cover the cost of the hall etc will be welcome.
What others think.
Fantastic
Brilliant ride , fantastic route great controls , Another Fab A.C.B event
Another ACB blast
Typical ACB , great route and organisation…great company too. Only complaint was the sheer volume of potholes, in fact I think you call it a pothole festival or a convention. Some of them were older than some of the rocks we passed in Avebury or Stonehenge.
My first 200k
What a great event! If you’re thinking of making the step up to a 200k, or a seasoned hand I would recommend this route to you. Some amazing views, plenty of pleasant lanes, great control/eating stops and a good tour of Britains neolithic past!
Go ride it!
Wow, what a day and what an eclectically diverse bunch.
What an utter privilege to have had this event made available to us, put on to give us something to do, and to have been able to turn out on the day. An extraordinarily creditable testimony to all parties: those who are no longer with us, those who press on in the face of grief soaked memories, those who support quietly in the wings and all the 140(ish) participants who can now spread the word of an outstanding event. Oh yes, not a bad effort with the weather Will; despite acknowledging that it is beyond your control.
Fabulous first Audax experience
Excellent route and great camaraderie. Lovely Cotswold village stops and countryside. Lucky with the weather too – a prefect day of cycling. 🙏🚴🏽♀️
