This weeks ride will be led by me and we will be cycling up on the moor this week. The plan is to go out to Buckfastleigh and onto Princetown where we will have a late cafe stop at the Fox Tor. Currently at work posting this so will upload map link of route later. See you tomorrow at 9am.

This weeks ride has been planned with the sportive rider in mind. The pace will be brisk and the distance is 103 miles. The route is the same one that Graham led over the Easter Weekend.

From our usual starting place and time (B&Q coypool @ 0900) we head for Princetown via Yelverton, then onto Moretonhampstead and then onto Exeter. From Exeter we head to Dawlish Warren, then Teignmouth, then onto Ashburton where we stop at the Dartmoor Lodge Hotel for our Café stop. It’s then home via South Brent and Ivybridge. The Café stop is later on in the ride this week but there will be the oppotunity for a ‘food station’ stop in Exeter. Read more…

Route is basically to Menheniot and Widegates with a cafe stop in Seaton. He will brief in more detail pre ride! As usual please help ensure everyone rides in accordance with our rides ethos and group riding techniques so everyone has a safe and enjoyable ride.

This weeks ride will once again be led by John Ambrose who has provided a good spring trip to Dartmouth. Route is:- Ivybridge, Ermington, Modbury and Gara Bridge. At Dartmouth, for a change we will descend past the Naval College, ride through the town and climb out the back way (an easier climb than the one past the college but long enough to be a workout) to rejoin the usual route to the cafe stop at Blackpool Sands. After the cafe stop it’s along Slapton Sands and, as an alternative, we turn right at Stokenham with a nice section to East Allington. From … Read more…

This weeks 16 will be a “bridging ride” and will be at relatively easy pace. I don’t know what the average will be, but the ride will be at pace suitable for those who are close to riding with the 16′s, but who have not wanted to take on the difficulty of recent 16 rides. I will follow the pace set by the riders who come along and we can all be aware of the front and back of the group. Should be fine! From our usual starting place B&Q 9am, we make our way over to the Tamar bridge … Read more…

We head out to Ashburton, up Pear Tree, then cut across the moors to Moretonhamstead. From here it is along the valley to Bovey Tracy. We then follow the Dartmoor Classic route up to Manaton, over Holne/Hexworthy, on to Princetown and then home. There are several points to ride home early if anyone wishes. Pace will be such that we keep something in the legs to get over Holne late on in the ride! Approx … Read more…
