 This years Madal’s 100 will take us to Haytor on Dartmoor. This is the 5 th Madal’s 100 and a pedal to Dartmoor should provide a grand tour of some outstandingly beautiful Devon countryside.
With the usual early start of 06:30 hours, our route will take us up to and along the Stockland Strip, turning left towards Honiton and then the cathedral city of Exeter. Onwards and steadily upwards we travel west to Moretonhampstead and then to Haytor via some typical Dartmoor lanes with high granite banks.
As we start our return an undulating route awaits us, as we have to cross the Teign, Exe, Otter and Sid rivers to return to the Axe Valley.
We will not be using a support vehicle, however some food stations will be arranged and there will also be the opportunity to refill water bottles and buy snacks.
It looks like it’s going to be quite a tough ride with plenty of ascent, particularly during the final stage.
This is the only AVP ride that is limited to club members only as we have to restrict numbers. One of the aims of the ride is to help AVP Pedallers gain their first 100-mile route and is now customary, at the finish champagne and medals will be presented!
