Blighted – or should that be “enhanced” by appalling weather in 2009, the now near-legendary Exmoor Beast cyclosportive will for 2010 stay with its regular place on the sportive calendar and take place in late autumn, although this year it has been moved forward to 31st October.

As last year, the event HQ will be at Butlins, Minehead, ensuring a good supply of accommodation. On-the-road support will be provided by the Bike Shed with post-ride care from the Massage Clinic.

Interested entrants will be able to embark on a two month training programme and the odd training ride with a few well known cyclists. Back by popular demand, there will be a half pint of Exmoor Beast at the end.

Full details of the event including entry page and supporting material may be found at www.exmoorbeast.org.
