The East Devon Evening 10-Mile Time Trial series is organised by three local clubs on a shared basis – Exeter Wheelers, CS Dynamo, and Sid Valley CC. Thanks go to all the various helpers and volunteer officials from these clubs who invest their time and energy in making this happen. As with all cycling events they can only happen if we can find enough volunteers to act as marshalls – please please get in touch via our ‘info’ email address at the bottom left of any of our web pages if you can help at all, even if only on a one-off or occasional basis.
The 2026 series will see the resumption of a results service for the series as per 2023 and 2024 – results will be posted on this web page generally later on the same evening as the event. There will again be end-of-season prizes for age & gender categories – these will be handed out following a final ‘ten’ on the Honiton course, which will be held in August, probably the 5th or the 12th – we will post details here when we know more.
The first evening ten for 2026 will take place on Wednesday the 6th of May , and will be organised by Exeter Wheelers CC.
Note that the 20th May edition is a Women’s Only Event.
For events organised by Exeter Wheelers entry via bank card transaction will be available in addition to the normal cash option. For CS Dynamo and Sid Valley CC events you will need cash with you.

Registration time: from 6:15 pm on the day
Entry fee (cash): £6, discounted to £5 for members of the Exeter Wheelers, CS Dynamo, & Sid Valley CC as these clubs have all stepped forward to ensure that the series exists. For Exeter Wheelers evening tens (aside from the Open on the 27th of May) then entry via bank card transaction will also be available.
First rider off: 7:01 pm
The Evening Tens take place on the ‘Honiton Club Course’ – details further below.
Note that the ‘Open’ on the 27th of May was set to use the nearby S27/10 (Smeatharpe) course a few miles to the north of Honiton, but we have had to move that to the ‘club or ‘Fenny Bridges’ course’ due to the current parlous state of the road surface near Smeatharpe there – the Cycling Time Trials web page will be updated for the event in due course.
As with all events conducted under national Cycling Time Trials rules, hard shell helmets plus front & rear lights are compulsory. Please also note that Time Trials are conducted on open roads, and as such you must obey the Highway Code when riding. Whilst there will be marshalls at the ‘turns’ they are not empowered to stop or direct traffic; riders are responsible for their own safety. Please note that in particular that there will now be no marshall at the T-Junction (A30 slip road approach Fenny Bridges) so make sure you give way to traffic coming from the right at this junction. The decision to remove a marshall at this point has been arrived at because riders were occasionally misinterpreting the marshall’s signals here and proceeding when it was not safe to do so.
HQ: Max’s Cabin café car park Honiton (Near Aldi’s). To get to the start (approx 0.6 miles from HQ) riders should turn left out of the car park, proceed uphill past the garage to the roundabout where turn right. Then turn left into Heathpark Industrial Estate, past Lidl’s, up to the T junction. Turn right and at the end of the road turn right again downhill. Go over the dual carriage way bridge and turn right to the start.
Above – Route from Race sign-on to Start Line on the old A30 (the blue spot) – click once on map to enlarge it.
Start: On the old A30 just before the bridge over the dual carriageway outside Honiton, approx. 150 metres from the large lay-by on the right hand side of the old A30.
Course: Proceed up the old A30 towards Fenny Bridges until the T-junction (1.5 miles), turn right to go under the road and railway bridges, proceed through Fenny Bridges and past Patterson’s Cross, to turn left (3.5 miles) onto the road towards Fairmile and then turn immediately right around the green triangle retracing back through Fenny Bridges towards the start. Turn left again in layby (6.8 miles) shortly before the start line to retrace back through Fenny Bridges.
Finish: Small layby on the left after Paterson’s Cross, approx 50 metres past green triangle on Fairmile road. If you can remember to shout your race number to the timekeeper as you pass him or her that would be appreciated.
2026 final league standings are at the end of this race report from 14th July 2026
2024 final league standings are here and end-of-season prize winners are here.
