"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!!

Backstop in reply to @adamdiy

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

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

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
