The Hell of the West returns to the South West for a third time.

After taking a break in 2014, the mighty event returns but with a new home from Rockets & Rascals, Plymouth.

The Hell of the West is one great big day in the dirt taking riders out of Plymouth and onto the amazing trails neighbouring forests Cann, Newnham, Plymbridge, Shaugh Bridge and parts of Dartmoor too. As with all previous Hell of the West events the route will be possible on a Cyclo-Cross bike. The terrain is varied and is for the most part off road with a few tarmac linking sections on quiet county roads.

Total distance for the The Hell of the West will be around 70km with a bail out option possible if you're not feeling so great on the day. It's a timed event but it's not a race, there's no prizes for winning but there'll be a medal at the end. It's not suitable for complete beginners.

You'll need a bike that can make it to the end, it can be a cross bike, a fat bike but you're most likely going to enjoy it best on a mountain bike.

There'll be a few 'Special Tests' along the way too.

Please note this event was originally part of a larger weekend event but now is just a stand alone event based from Rockets & Rascals, Plymouth.
