  • "Exmouth Exodus 2015
    The Exmouth Exodus will leave Bath on Saturday 1 August, arriving in Exmouth on Sunday 2 August. We'll aim to roll out from Bath's Green Park Station from about 9pm.
    Yes, we're aware that's the same weekend as RideLondon, but it's also the only weekend we're free to run it. Apologies if you can't make it because of the clash. There's always something else on somewhere!"

    Not much further info currently on the website http://www.exmouthexodus.co.uk/

    The weather can not be as bad as last year!!

  • how hideous would this be to do on a singlespeed? mine is 48/16, about 79 gear inches

  • I did as my first fixed ride. I can't remember anything too grim, other than descending uncertainly in the dark through Cheddar Gorge.

  • cool - just ordered an 18t freewheel, will wait a bit to see how the weather and winds are looking

  • This years route is avaliable on the website, as above. Some changes this year so worth downloading again.
    Forecast looks OK

  • the opening 30km look a lot choppier than previous years...
