The Tour of Witheridge Moor

Road , Witheridge – Sunday, 18 Sep 2016

Event Summary

Event Overview

This is the replacement for the popular Rockbeare Road Races that we have been running for a number of years.  The Rockbeare circuit has been retired due to safety concerns but on the plus side this one is better!  It is on a 43km loop starting from the village of Witheridge.  It is on good quality sinuous, but wide roads that were busy before the A361 North Devon Link Road was built.

The Strava link to the full route is here  www.strava.com/routes/3659324

Travelling east it is generally downhill with one short climb up to Withleigh followed by a long decent to Tiverton where the race turns sharp left to Rackenford.  Here the route rolls it way, climbing gently until it turns left at Batworthy Cross for a flat trek, probably into a headwind, to Gidley Cross.  Another left turn and the race returns to Witheridge on wide twisty roads.  Get away here and you might get enough time to hold of chasers on the brief thrash up the hill to the finish in Witheridge. 

As in previous years we have a women’s event supported by a men’s 3/4 race both doing two laps and running concurrently.  We will announce a substantial prize list shortly.  Neutral service vehicles and a broom wagon will be provided along with the usual spread of tea and cakes at the finish.
