2014-08-09 Exmouth Exodus IX

A free to enter ride through the night to the seaside, about 100 miles

Starting in Bath, and finishing at Exmouth, Devon
On mostly minor roads, with three major climbs and plenty of other lumps and bumps, as well as some flat bits...

New start location: Bath

*This year the ride will be starting from Green Park Station in Bath. Obviously we won't be going out over Clifton Suspension Bridge, but there's a new treat in store: The *Two Tunnels Greenway, which takes you out of Bath to the south through the tunnels of the old Somerset and Dorset Railway. The Combe Down tunnel is over a mile long.
The distance to Exmouth is more or less exactly the same as before. The route is a bit hillier at the start, with a sharp climb to Hinton Charterhouse after the Two Tunnels, but the ascent onto the Mendips is more gradual than before. The route then heads to Cheddar, as before;

Very keen on this. Was one of the riding highlights of my year in 2012!

In.

might be doing this

I've heard good things about the tunnels. Sounds like an imaginative change, looking forward to doing it

If anyone is travelling down from London, let me know!

Interested.

Mrs Earthloop says she'll worry much less if I'm not doing any of it solo, so does anyone want to commit to a group that stays together no matter what ? I normally average 25kph (including brief stops) but I'd also be happy in a slower group than that.

same weekend as the ride 100 so i'm out. dam

Out.

:-(

v keen to do this and and am trying to persuade Oat44 that he wants to too. You still going onyerbike?

Sadly the surrey100 has ruined everything.
