You may be aware that the weather is a little warm at the moment!

If you’re joining us tomorrow for the Exmoor Explorer, please do read the following to ensure your day is successful :

Bring plenty of water!

We will have water on our aid stations, but please come prepared with enough water to see you around the route. A bladder pack is a great option!

Hydrate before, during and after your ride. Adding electrolytes to water will also help your sodium / potassium levels.

Start earlier!

Registration is open 08:00 - 10:00, and you can ride from 09:00 - 10:00 Please consider aiming to ride out early in the permitted time slot.

Slip, slap, slop!

Don't be shy with the suncream! Please make sure you have enough protection from the sun by applying a generous amount!

Dress for the heat!

Wear loose fitting, lightweight, breathable clothing rather than heavy cotton that will trap the heat and hold sweat. Light colours help too! Sunglasses are a good idea to protect your eyes from UV rays along with a cap.

Pacing!

Be sensible and please remember this is not a race! Heat makes you work harder before you even notice it - take it steady! Enjoy the glorious landscape on the Exmoor Hills!

Listen to your body. If you start to feel unwell, dizzy or light-headed, slow down, stop if needed and alert the nearest marshal. Our medical team from Apex Medical & Rescue will also be on hand throughout the event should anyone need assistance. Please ensure you have the emergency phone number saved to your phone.

Keep cool!

Try and stay cool before you start your ride - sit in the shade, drink plenty of water and use a cool towel around your neck and / or wrists. Make sure you have a cool drink before you head out.

We have organised plenty of events of varying disciplines in similar weather and they've all been really fun and enjoyable. It's set to be a glorious day if we all respect the heat and act responsibly!

Really Wild Coffee will have some great iced coffee options and Country Bumpkins have cold cans and lots of packaged ice creams (magnums etc).

Route setting started early yesterday morning and the pre event set up is going well!

We'll see those of you who are camping later on today, and everyone else bright and breezy in the morning!

Dan and Jan 🧡

Hi everyone!

We have a couple of events coming up where we could really do with more marshals to join our Tribe.

No experience needed, or an interest in the type of event taking place! It's a really brilliant way to get involved without having to take part! A chance to be part of a lovely community of like minded people who enjoy being outdoors and ensuring our entrants have the best day possible!

If you're free and able to help, the next event is the Exmoor Explorer on Sunday 12th July 2026.

It's a mountain bike event based at Halse Farm Caravan & Camping Site - with marshal points at HQ and dotted around the route on Exmoor! It's a glorious spot on exmoor with the opportunity to camp and make a weekend of it! TRIBE members can camp in our event field for free and still have access to the campsite toilet block.

Everyone will get a brew and a breakfast bap to start the day and will be issued with one of our technical orange TRIBE tees which is yours to keep (and hopefully wear again!). We also offer free future event entry upon request.

We will also have catering on the event day :

Country Bumpkins Catering will be onsite with amazing yorkshire pud wraps & loaded spuds along with some lighter bites!

Really Wild Coffee will be serving amazing brews and cakes, extra brews at discounted rates for tribe members.

If you are free on Sunday 12th July and are able to help, please email [email protected] with your name and mobile number.

Thank you so much in advance! 🧡
