“Since we moved to Minehead we’ve averaged about 1400 riders each time and just about fitted everyone’s vehicles in. But, we’re already a couple of hundred ahead of where we were this time last year.” said Marcus Di Vincenzo of the event’s management company M.I.G.

Now established as the U.K’s. biggest end of season sportive, the Exmoor Beast offers all finishers a commemorative engraved tankard, free beer token, for it to be filled, and an indoor finish; unique to a British sportive. The outlook for the month’s end is looking good, with typically autumnal weather, dry and bright periods interspersed with occasional showers and temperatures close to the seasonal average.
