its hammer time...

At Cycle Sport South Hams, we believe that our area has some of the most beautiful and challenging cycling in the Uk. The Hammer is a new, non-commercial event with 25% of all entry fees going to Diabetes Uk. It is the perfect way to start your year and gauge your early season fitness.

The Hammer is a challenging cyclosportive through the quiet roads and country lanes of South Devon. We have designed a route of 130kms within the South Hams, that features the beauty of the South Devon coast line, sheltered river valleys and picturesque South Devon lanes. With over 2600m of climbing and only around 5km of flat road, the challenge of The Hammer is only matched by the spectacular scenery.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of this years riders
