Cream First Crit Series, Round 8 - Exeter Wheelers

Closed Circuit , Exeter – Tuesday, 10 Jun 2025

Event Summary

Event Overview

The course at Westpoint is on the driver training facility and so mimics a town centre criterium course but with wide grassed runoffs.  Online entry is preferred as it saves the organisers a lot of work. It closes at midday on the day of the race allowing potential competitors to check the weather/work commitments/ tan lines etc before entering. We accept cash payments on the day but this is much more expensive.

The HQ is located in the Red One building (formerly the Devon Drivers Centre). Westpoint Arena is only a few kilometres from Junction 30 of the M5.  There is plenty of parking. Warming up is limited to the skid pan area only so you may want to pack a turbo or rollers. PLEASE DO NOT RIDE AROUND THE WESTPOINT ARENA ROADS.
