The Devon Dirt:

The Devon Dirt is an annual event, with a mixture of off road tracks and country lanes, usually around 58Km.
It's organised by South Devon CTC.

It's a non-competitive challenge - i.e. we want everybody to get round the course in their own time safely, and enjoy a great day off road in Devon.
The organisers offer limited support to help you get around the course, we provide feeding stations, usually with cold drinks and cakes along the route.
You should however be self sufficient in terms of food and basic repairs, and it's a good idea to ride with a small group or a friend if possible.
Be sure you have the spares and are capable of fixing punctures..

Finishers get a commemorative
badge, certificate and other goodies (paid for by your entry fee), and you keep your frame number.

NUMBERS: 2024 numbers will be issued at the start. You will be able to check before the event what your number will be. ( sort of alphabetical!).

2024 EVENT:
Entries still open for the 2024 event which is now on 12th May
There will be a few entries available on the day at £25 cash only.
GPX and route info has ben emailed to all entrants.
Start is at 9.30 with check in open from 8am

A figure of eight route, with two loops. Loop 1 is about 40KM ( 25miles) and Loop 2 is about 25Km (16 mile ).
Our suggestion is to ride Loop 1 (Lite) first back to Newton for refreshments,
and then the shorter but hillier Loop 2.
Let us know at the start if you want ride just the hillier Loop 2.

Notes:
Event HQ is at the Pro Cycle Centre in Wharf Road, NEWTON ABBOT.
For PARKING please use the Osborne Street public car park, about 2 min away which is £1.20 all day, or you will find parking on the nearby Brunel Industrial Estate.
Don't park at the HQ as we need the space there for the refreshment van and our helpers to park.

2024 Entries.
This year we need all the entrants to use our online entry system.
There will be a few entry places at the start ( on the line) but these will be at a premium of £25 cash only with no discounts, and no guarantee of a beanie, buff or badge.
Please use the Paypal system to enter - there is a small fee to them ( sometimes) but having one method makes it smoother for the administration.

eMTB's:
We welcome eMTB's on the Dirt - we'll probably set you off before the ordinary bikes.
There are a couple of places to note where water is very deep and it's probably not advisable to ride an eMTB through. This is on Holbeam Lane near the end of Loop 1, and also a river crossing near the end of Loop 1 which has an option to divert but involves lifting over a fence. so may also be worth avoiding on an eBike.
We will email notes about this to all riders.
