The 3rd Exmouth Exodus: 14 June, 2008

Want to ride through the night to the seaside with a bunch of like minded people? If you do, you might have already tried the Dunwich Dynamo, from Hackney to Dunwich. We did, and we loved it, but it's a long old way back to the West Country from the North Suffolk coast. And so it is that the Exmouth Exodus came to be. It's based on the Dunwich Dynamo model and will be:

A free to enter ride through the night to the seaside, about 100 miles

On 14 June, 2008 (so it doesn't clash with the DD)

Starting in Bristol, and finishing at Exmouth

On mostly minor roads, with three major climbs and plenty of other lumps and bumps, as well as some flat bits...

There's lots more you might want to know, and if you cast your eyes over the FAQs you'll probably find the info you need. if not, just post a message on the forum, or contact us and we'll get in touch.

EEII - Apocalypse: 30 June, 2007

The night of 30 June offered conditions best described as biblical. Rain. Howling walls of wind. Rain. Darkness. Branch-strewn roads. Rain. Slippery tarmac. Rain. Wind. Despite that, about 60 riders braved the Severe Weather Warning and brightly coloured splodges on the BBC weather map to make the overnight trip to Exmouth. And boy, what a lot of fun we had. It was great. Doing it in the calm of a warm summer evening next year won't seem like so much of a challenge any more...

Big thanks to teamaker-general Rob, Lovely campervan lady whose name escapes me, soup-kitchen Jim and (no doubt long-suffering) wife Eileen, glowstick-master and cook Ben, the Channings Hotel and the Harbour View Cafe. Without all these guys there'd be no ride.

Come and join us in 2008! we've proved, if nothing else, that there's no weather bad enough to stop the night wheels rolling...
