Oh Dear - you appear to have logged
in to Devon DA's DARTMOOR DEVIL PAGE! Well
done to the 152 of you who arrived safely at Manaton on Sunday, completing
a typical Devil excursion
comprising of steep hills and slippery lanes. Ian Hennessey & Mike Steer maintained their 100% record. Photos and video clips are now being posted. If
you have not been initiated let us enlighten you. The
Dartmoor
Devil is no ordinary bicycle ride. For the fourteenth year a hoard
of cyclists will ride 60+ miles across the dizzy heights of Dartmoor,
riding through the mists, along lanes strewn with the debris of recent
storms, (#)battling the wind on the exposed road to Princetown,(#)
and the final climb up Widecombe
Hill.... You
will find around another 200 people like yourself have been lured
to the start of this gruelling event, their only comfort being a bowl
of Soup and a crust of bread in a sheltered pub along the route. The Organiser Kevin Presland has a direct line to below, where he can get help to devise a more twisting and testing route each year. Be
sure to fit your bike with mudguards
and lights, - bring plenty of food,
waterproofs, at least 2 spare tubes,
a repair kit and tools, and a spare pair of socks and a dry T shirt
may come in handy. Pub food available at the finish. |
