Change-Gear-Exeter Sportive

The 26th July 2015 sees the first Exeter "Change Gear" Cycle Sportive and it looks
like it's going to be a great day. The long route is a challenging 93mile/150K
route with 8,359ft/2,550m of climbing. You'll be rewarded for your time in the
saddle on the way through Silverton and Tiverton with some lovely sites of
Devon's rolling hills, resulting in an epic climb alongside a river, leading up
to the top of Exmoor, where the sights can only speak for themselves. On the
way back you'll be rewarded again with some fast undulating roads heading
through Black Dog towards Exeter Arena. Just when you think the climbing is
over, you'll be met with a climb up Wreford Lane towards the finish. This is an
awesome route, an awesome challenge in an awesome location.

The middle route is also challenging at 60mile/96K long with
5,150ft/1,570m of climbing. It follows the Long route out to Tiverton and then
along side the A361 across country with sites of Devon's beautiful rolling
Hills, before joining the long route back to Exeter Arena.

This 20mile/33K short route still boasts 1,659ft/505m of climbing.
What it lacks in distance is more than compensated by challenge. Splitting off
from the Long and Medium route this takes you across country from Silverton to
Thorverton to re-join the two longer routes on the return trip to Exeter Arena.

All three routes will start and finish at Exeter Arena, where
you'll have access to parking, changing facilities, showers and toilets. Also
available will be mechanical help from Roots Cycle Works with some shop stock
in case you need any last minute kit. To top off your day there will be a hog
roast available at the Finish. For more information and to enter visit www.leisurecentre.com/change-gear-exeter
