Shred Classic Report
avatar

Posted on May 16, 2012 by

I won’t pretend to be a David Duffield/Phil Ligget of the YOGi world but here is my take on a very entertaining event with particular credit to YOGi member Matt McArthur, okay I’m maybe a little biased but…….. Once again Shred Racing put on a very entertaining and tough event, I’m sure it’s fair to say that the revised format of a much shorter course increased the level of excitement well at least from a spectator perspective anyway.  It also seemed to make the racing much closer too despite the best efforts of the mightily strong South Devon Cycling Club … Read more…

Photo Of The Month

Posted on May 14, 2012 by

Sat here in my office, looking out of the window onto the grey wet day that today is, it’s hard to believe that we were blessed with two perfect days of riding this weekend.

I’m pretty sure we all enjoyed our rides this weekend and a photo was uploaded which exemplifies what it is to enjoy a sunny day on the bike with like-minded people. It is my favourite photo so far this year.

Posted on May 13, 2012 by

Fancy some different scenery? fancy some different conversation? fancy a different cafe stop?…..if so read on :-)
Newquay Velo cycle club have come up with a fantastic offer to host a ride for us on Sunday the 27th May. We have agreed a suggested start time from Newquay of 09:00am, which would mean leaving Plymouth at around 07:45am. The agreed route is 55 miles long. It basically heads South to the coast at Mevagissy before returning North to Newquay. There will be an obligatory :-) cafe stop mid ride, and a possible buffet on completion (would be £5 a head).

Posted on May 13, 2012 by

16 mile two-up time trial from HMS Raleigh to the Trerulefoot Roundabout and back on the 23 rd May run by the RN&RMCA. I think we had seven or eight YOGi teams out last year. A great way to spend the evening feeling sick with a friend!

Posted on May 10, 2012 by

Hi all, At last it looks like summer has finally arrived this weekend, a great day to head to Salcombe for a ride. The ride will start from B&Q carpark, Plympton, at 09:00am and we’ll start by making our way via Plympton and Ivybridge to Wrangaton, here we turn right to California Cross before peeling off towards Loddiswell and onto Salcombe. In Salcombe will find ourselves a café, hopefully with an estuary view. On the way back, after the climb out of Salcombe, it’s back via Modbury before turning off to take the Ermington road back to Ivybridge. Here’s a … Read more…

Shred Classic Plymouth Hoe – Sunday 13th May
avatar

Posted on May 8, 2012 by

The Shred Classic Bicycle Race returns to Plymouth Hoe for another evening of fast paced road cycling action. The Shred Classic is not your normal bike race; the short circuit, tight bends and risk of elimination make action the top priority. It’s exciting to watch and even more exciting to ride. This year the Shred Classic follows on from a whole day of cycling as the Sky Ride mass participation ride visits the city. Bring your family along for a gentle pedal around the Sky Ride loop during the day and then get ready for the show on the Hoe … Read more…

This week Russ Parkin will be leading the ride and Neil McMillan will be assisting. So the all important route then (or should that say cafe stop?) Obviously you’ll start at the usual place of B&Q Coypool. From there you will be heading through Plympton, up past Newnham and onto Cornwood. From here you will climb Dragon Hill and head for Wotter, Cadover and Sheeps Tor. A lap of Burrator and on to Princetown for your cafe stop at the Fox Tor . The option then is either turn and head for home if you’ve had enough or head for … Read more…

Sunday Road Ride – 6th May
avatar

Posted on May 3, 2012 by

Right then, we’ll try again. After the winds of last Sunday cut this ride short (very short), this Sunday, if the weather allows, we will be attempting this Dartmouth route again. This will be a sociable group ride ridden at a mutually agreed pace (no one will be dropped).

We will meet at 10:00 at B&Q Coypool and follow the normal YOGi route via Lee Mill, Ivybridge, California Cross, and Gara Bridge to Dartmouth. At Dartmouth we will turn back along the coast via Blackpool Sands, Slapton and Kingsbridge and then inland through Loddiswell, California Cross (again), Ermington, Ivybridge, Lee Mill and home again!
