Oh Dear - you appear to have logged in to Devon DA's DARTMOOR DEVIL PAGE!

Now you have entered a new realm, - one which you may never leave. TEMPTATION is irresistable as "Old Nick" lures you to
Bovey Tracey on HALLOWEEN weekend - 28th October 2007.

2007 EVENT AND REPORT HERE

Some first views here.

Congratulations to the 155 finishers on 28th October, our highest number of finishers and on quite a squidgy day - probably helped by the huge array of cakes at Drewsteignton, and the noisy encouragament from the gang from Torrington.

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....
(Log out now if you dare - or read on!)

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.

This year features a tough route - 2006 saw a high rate of finishers, helped by good weather.
In 2006 we were oversubscribed again so enter early if you want a place. Two start times available 8am & 9am.
Check these pages for details of entry in 2006 and get your entry in VERY EARLY.
WHETHER YOU ARE A HARDENED ROAD MAN, OR A TOUGH OFF-ROAD MOUNTAINBIKER, OR AN AUDAX STALWART YOUR CYCLING ABILITIES HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN TESTED UNTIL YOU HAVE BEATEN THE DEVIL!!

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.
( IT CAN BE A CHILLY DESCENT BACK DOWN TO BOVEY AFTER THE STOP AT KESTOR INN)
