DEVON AIR AMBULANCE

cycle challenge 2026

Location: Exeter
Duration:  1 day
Departs: Saturday 12th September 2026 

Join us for a fantastic bike ride in support of Devon Air Ambulance and help keep our lifesaving crews responding to the people of Devon. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just enjoy a leisurely ride, this event is a great way to challenge yourself, enjoy beautiful Devon scenery, and raise vital funds for an incredible cause.

There are three fantastic route options to choose from:

🚴 Explorer (30 Mile) – Ease back into the saddle with this relaxed, beginner-friendly route. Designed for those who’ve taken it a little lighter on training. Enjoy a short, scenic loop at a comfortable pace. 

🚴 Heroic (50 Mile) – Built for riders who’ve put in the work, this mid-distance route is your chance to put those training miles into practice. Get ready for great roads, good company, and that unbeatable finish-line feeling.

🚴 Legend (100 Mile) – This is the big one! A test of endurance, strength, and pacing. Longer miles, tougher climbs, and stretches where you may need to dig deep. If you’re looking to challenge yourself – this is the one for you! 

All routes pass through the rolling Devon countryside with stunning scenery to take in along the way. Come and enjoy riding with friends and colleagues while challenging yourself to reach the finish and the post-ride celebration that awaits at the family friendly event village at Winslade – with stalls and activities for the whole family.

Fundraising for DAAT

All funds raised will go towards supporting Devon Air Ambulance: your local lifesaving charity that raises the funds to keep Devon’s two air ambulances flying and the fleet of critical care cars responding.

By air or by road, they’re fully equipped with lifesaving kit and the skills to provide crucial, time-critical care there and then.
