This is the fourth Mallett's Bash. The club is sticking to a similar route after the positive feedback from last year. The short course stays on Woodbury Common this year and is slightly shorter, but after riding it cyclists think it's a tougher route.The moderate route is a challenging ride initially following the short route around the great new Common course, then towards Sidmouth and Mutters Moor, Harpford Woods, Tipton St John and back to Bicton via Venn Ottery.Finally for the hardcore out there there is the hard route planned for the rider who likes to go that little bit further. We advise that only experienced riders attempt it. This route follows most of the moderate one but in addition you get to sample a great new section on East Hill. This is a tough ride and not to be underestimated.This event is held in memory of Richard Mallett who loved the sport and the great riding this part of East Devon contains. Richard was a founding member of Sid Valley Cycling Club and sadly died of cancer in 2004. FORCE cancer charity were a great help to Richard and his family and it seemed appropriate to organise an event which honoured Richard, celebrated the sport which he loved so much, and raised much needed cash for a worthy cause.Check the club's website. www.svcc.org.uk or contact chairman Ron Clint (01395) 578297 for information on any club activities
