Spooky Cycle on the Tarka Trail
Event Information
Description
This is a charity night cycle starting and finishing from Barnstaple Rugby Club and heading along the Tarka Trail. Route 1 heads south to Puffing Billy in Great Torrington and back, and is 30 miles in total. Route 2 heads north towards Chivenor and back and is 10 miles in total. Cyclists can turn around at points along the course if they wish.
Though this is a “Ride not a Race”, it is open to all levels of cyclists, with families and company teams encouraged to ride together, as well as ensuring that those with disabilities can take part and are given full access.
We encourage participants to ride in fancy dress with the theme being Halloween. Prizes for best costumes in each category.
This event is very kindly sponsored by Isca Barum and the Big Lottery Fund, and supported by the Barnstaple Rugby Club and Devon County Council.
Please note that the ticket prices shown are for Teams, Families or Individuals. For example, £30 is the price for a Team of up to 4 members for the Short Route. It is NOT £30 each.
The deadline for entries is 11:30pm on 19 October 2018.
Upon purchase of your ticket, riders will receive an email from the organisers with full details of the ride along with Terms & Conditions, which can also be found on our website.
NOTE: the entry fee covers the event organisational costs, and we ask all riders/teams/families to open a JustGiving page to raise funds for Calvert Trust Exmoor or collect funds in another way. Upon registration, we will email to you an information pack about the event and how to maximise your fundraising.
