Valley of the Rocks 200 2023

[Ian H]

I sent the riders off at 8am. 34 on the road including two Elliptigos (a first for my events).
The sun is shining so they should be able to see & avoid the potholes.
Time to start cooking for their return.

It looks like a very nice route. If I ever get fit enough again for that kind of ride I might have a go one summer day from Crediton.

Take your 24" gear & you'll be fine.

It's the lack of hours of daylight, sore bum, and iffy back that would trouble me!

I used to ride that kind of route in around 10 hours but those days are long gone...

Do they have a 24" gear to get out of Lynmouth and Woody Bay then? Scary down to Jamie's Inn!

Last two in but out of time. Here are more photos, from Dave Fancy this time.

One of the Eliptigos was fastest back, with another on a proper bike.
