Devon delight for cyclists in Audax ride through Devon countryside
The Devon Delight race is all set for Newton Abbot return
More than a hundred riders have already entered the latest Devon Delight ‘Audax’ bike ride on Sunday, July 26.
The 100-kilometre event is based at Newton Abbot’s Courtenay Centre.
It will take the field on a route over Haldon, to Exeter, Stoke Canon, where there will be a refreshment stop, Thorverton, Longdown and back down the Teign Valley to Newton.
An Audax ride is similar to a Sportive, like the Dartmoor Classic, but more emphasis is placed on self-reliance, and the South Devon Cycle Touring Club stress that there is a generous time limit.
For extra-fit riders, a 200K Shore To Moor test is being held on the same day, which includes a loop to Tiverton, Witheridge, Hatherleigh, Lydford and Princeton.
Anyone who finishes that marathon will definitely deserve the cream tea on offer at the finish!
The event is still open for entries (£12) via www.southdevonctc.org
