The route will follow quiet and busy main roads, woodland tracks and cycle tracks. This ride will be a slow, steady ride (8mph) and is particularly for those that are wanting to improve their cycling with some gentle acents.
We will head on the busy main road towards the Hoe so you must be fairly confident on the road. Here we will pick up the cycle track. We'll enjoy the view out to sea and the historic Barbican (including the Mayflower Steps), over the swing-bridge heading towards Laira Bridge (cycle path closed until end of May 24). From there we will head into mainly traffic free Saltram and follow the main track and head up past the house and then head towards Coypool (toilet break if needed) and then finally the trail all the way up to Clearbrook aiming to arrive for midday. We'll have a refreshment stop and a comfort break in the Skylark (the serve tea and coffee as well as other refreshments). If dry enough we can sit on the grass outside. We will then return via the same route to Brickfields.
We will stop along the way to enjoy the views, take photos, catch our breath, have a drink.
In subsequent weeks we can get further afield (Yelverton, Longash, Dousland and maybe Tavistock if we start at Coypool). Please message me if you haven't ridden with us before or arrive 10 minutes before the start so we can check the suitability for you. Thanks Cheryl (07986991694)
