This iconic Exmoor cycling event was started 25 years ago and doesn't disappoint!
Whichever route you choose, you will be able to access areas of Exmoor that are usually restricted. You’ll enjoy amazing views across Exmoor and the Bristol Channel while being fully supported by the friendly tribe.
Enjoy a fantastic mountain biking experience exploring the stunning Exmoor National Park.
The Exmoor Explorer is now firmly cemented as one of the three Somerset-based off-road cycling events now known as “The Triple’.
Make a weekend of it and stay at one of the lovely nearby campsites.
Part of the Triple Series of mountain biking events:
Will be readily available when you sign up.
This event is challenging but with the main loop being accessible to all. Those planning to complete the extra loop need to be happy riding 30-35 miles and able to complete the first 20 miles within 3.5 hours.
The recommendation is to get some miles on off-road terrain beforehand.

Amazing event as always. Luke J
Exmoor Explorer remains on my event calendar to do, even after 18 years. The riding is always a big day out with epic hill climbing and fun descents as well as the rivers, trails and lanes we criss-cross along the way. I love riding in all the different locations it takes us to, with pretty much a new route every year that stays true to the 'explorer' name - I'd never find these places on my own. Great bunch of event crew always cheery and super helpful. If you only do one event, do the Exmoor Explorer! Paul W
Exceptional terrain plus fellow riders for company, conversation and inspiration. Magnificent route, caring check point crews ... to see you through. Long range landscapes memories to keep with you. Exmoor Explorer extra loop to dig deep into. Thank you! Cheers, John W
Undoubtedly one of the best organised rides I have done. Really well organised, marked out and friendly. I can't make the Quantock quake but if the events are run again next year I will book in all 3 early. A massive thank you to all the staff and organisers. Chris A
Absolutely fantastic!! The route was superb and marked out so well and easy to follow, the welcome you get from everyone is so amazing, to ride with others that are so helpful and encouraging it truly has been the best ride yet to date!!! Joanne L
Good event, route was an improvement on the previous years with some nice flowy decents and and a few techy areas, water crossings climbs were challenging but more down to some areas being boggy (British summer for you) but you have plenty of time to get round at a relaxed pace. Barry M
What a fab event. Really well organized, friendly and a whole lot of fun. This was my second year taking part and I hope to be back for many more. Adam M
