As dbr says, Haytor Vale is probably the best place. Although best gurns might be seen at the start of the trail in that link. There are a small few carparks off the main road. Also avoid Cafe360 in bovey, expensive and slow. The brookside has been friendly to cyclists for years.
I'll aim for up there, and just hang out with the biggest crowd I can find for the vibes. Sadly I'll almost certainly be without a bike, I'll get dropped off and picked up somewhere on the course, so good to know there are options for shelter in Bovey if conditions aren't ideal!
