Event Information

A comprehensive event guide will be posted out to all riders during July in their rider packs, along with laminated bike numbers and route cards. In the meantime, we thought a quick summary of what the event has to offer might be handy.

The Devil Ride is a fully supported European-style cyclosportive:

• Comprehensively and clearly way-marked route
• Detailed route cards with Ordnance Survey mapping as backup (and to drool over in advance)
• Electronic timing
• Individual times available immediately at the event centre. Full list of finish times published on event website within 24 hours
• Three food and drink stations out on the route
• Broom wagon, mechanics and 1st aid
• Supported by the National Motorcycle Escort Group
• Photos of all riders available for purchase on the web
• Gold, Silver and Bronze standards will be awarded, with certificates issued at the finish
• Stylish souvenir cycling jersey in technical fabric available for £39 (must be ordered by May 14th)
• "Goody bottle" – a high quality bidon (same type as the popular SIS bottle with the rubber spout) with some goodies inside
• Bike shop at the event centre before and after
• Changing, toilets and showers

As part of our association with Orbea we will be offering a brand new Orca frameset (srp £1699.99) to one lucky finisher - the winner will be picked out of a hat on the day as the Devil Ride is not a race and so we won't be giving any prizes for performance.

The Orca has a legitimate claim to the title of ultimate sportive bike - as well as being a superb piece of kit - perfectly suited to fast sportive riding or to racing - it looks like a work of art too. Nice a bad day's outing for the fortunate recipient!
