An exciting opportunity has been presented to our club in that we have been asked if we would like to run some town-centre warm-up events ahead of the 6^th and final round of the prestigious Lloyds National Circuit Series which will take place in the form of the Dawlish Grand Prix on the evening of Friday 25^th of July.

The race circuit is 1km long in an anti-clockwise fashion, with start & finish on The Strand, and we can use it from midday until 6pm to put on whatever races or rides we like (within reason).

The race circuit will be completely barriered off, and there will be traffic diversions in place. After us, the E123 women’s race will start at 7pm, the men’s at 8pm, both c. 50 mins long. Both will have fields of c. 60 top riders.

Stay tuned for more info on this exciting news ! We are going to be needing your help and ideas !

The circuit area will be closed to traffic from midnight on the night of Thursday 24^th  to midnight at end of Friday 25^th .

There will be local diversions in place for light traffic, and main road (A380/A38) diversions for e.g. lorries.

There will be extra bus and train services to Dawlish for the day of the event.

Club kit – Whilst the clothing supplied by Nopinz has all been well and good, it has been evident that a more affordable set of options would be appreciated by many members. With this in mind we’ve been in contact over the last few months with another kit supplier to have alongside Nopinz, and we are now ready to roll with this – the supplier is Shutt Velo Custom and here’s our club shop there: https://shuttcustom.com/collections/exeter-wheelers-cycling-club which should be live now. The shop is open until the end of February. As per the worcs on the Shutt Velo website please note that the minimum order of any one item is 5 units – so it’ll be a good idea to communicate with other members to make sure that that limit is reached etc; Exeter Wheelers Facebook or the club Whatsapp group would be a good way to get in touch with others. You can have the items delivered to yourselves, which will presumably be at a cost, or you can collect them from Membership Secretary Rob Masterson in Exmouth, or better still collect them at a club Committee Meeting. 

Entry to events organised by Exeter Wheelers will be free for all paid-up members of the club for the duration of 2025.

Please note you MUST contact the club at least a full two weeks before the event in question, in order to agree your free entry with the club. The two-week notice required will not apply for the club’s Evening Tens, where it will be just 24 hours.
