Join The Taunton Flyer Sportive 2025
The upcoming Taunton Flyer Sportive will be held at Smeatharpe Airfield near Honiton. This event is dedicated to supporting SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity, and is centred around the wartime airfields of East Devon and Somerset. Participants will ride through various locations including RAF Exeter, RAF Dunkeswell, RAF Upottery, RAF Culmhead, RAF Merryfield, and RAF Westonzoyland. This well-liked sportive, which marks the start of the season, features a combination of scenic flat roads and challenging climbs in the beautiful Blackdown Hills. There are three route options available: the Spitfire (37 miles), the Dakota (63 miles), or the Wellington (101 miles). Each route is fully marked and supported with top-notch facilities such as feed stations, outriders, mechanics, and medics.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cancelation/refund policy for this event?
The Registration Fee is NON REFUNDABLE under any circumstance.
Do you allow ebikes at your road sportives?
Yes we do. However we cannot guarantee charging on course so make sure your battery life is sufficient for the distance you have chosen.
What is better about a road bike?
Road bikes, as the name suggests, are designed for use on the road. They typically have a more aggressive, more aerodynamic position, dropped handlebars and smooth relatively narrow tyres. A gravel bike fitted with slick (ie smooth tyres) will be almost as good. A chunkier full-suspension mountain bike with knobbly tyres will slow you down considerably.
Can I use Tri bars (aerobars)
No these are not permitted as they can be dangerous if your riding in bunch or small group.
