The Devon Dirt
The Devon Dirt is an annual off road endurance bike event, with a mixture of off road tracks and country lanes, usually between 55Km and 70Km. It's organised by CTC Devon in association with the Bigpeaks Bike Shop in Ashburton. It's a non-competitive challenge - i.e. we want everybody to get round the course in their own time safety, and enjoy a great day off road in Devon.
Next year the Devon Dirt will be held on 8th April 2018.
The event will start at 9.30!
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, and Bigpeaks will supply a mechanic in case you have a breakdown. 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.
Finishers get one of our famous and cool T-shirts (paid for by your entry fee), together with a certificate, and you can keep your entry number board.

The 2018 event is going to be the best yet, great route in two seperate loops, 500 riders, loads of cake, catering at start and finish, mass start at Bigpeaks. We really hope to see familiar faces and we will encourage those from further afield (e.g. Cambridge, London, Yorkshire, South Wales, Home Counties, Oxford) to join us again this year.
As per usual there will be photographers, stewards and helpers out on the route hoping to catch you out a 'fords', to dish out cake and mend your bike too! There will also be some comedy 'spot prices' too.
We are also hoping that the event trade show will be well attended again this year - There is lots for everyone to enjoy!
