The Devon Dirt is an annual cycling event, with a mixture off of road tracks and country lanes, usually between 55Km and 70Km. It's organised by CTC Devon in association with BigPeaks at Ashburton.

The organisers offer limited support to help you get around the course, we provide feeding stations, usually with cold drinks and cakes along the route, and BigPeaks supply a mechanic in case you have a breakdown.

The answer will be found out at the premiere of ‘Ballad of the Tin’ on 10th May at Spacex as Pope and his collaborators, revered Devon folk musicians Jim Causely and Bill Murray, perform this new song and others, based on research into the tin mining heritage of Dartmoor collected over the past year.
