The Exmoor Explorer mountain bike marathon

This is not a race, it is a long distance off road reliability trial across Exmoor's challenging terrain which takes place on the 1st Sunday of August every year.

The start, finish and tea stop change every year as does the set of routes. The course is unknown to you until a week before the event, when they will be published online with a map and a route instructions.

There are two routes to choose from. The short route is about 25 miles long. The long route is about 35 miles long. They share the same paths on the first section so you can decide which route to take at any time up to the start of the longer route.

There are checkpoints along both routes for the benefit of both the riders and the organisers.

Last and definitely not least there is the famous tea stop somewhere along the route which serves hot and cold drinks with cake and flapjack. Take your time or use it as a quick pit stop - the choice is yours.
