PL20 6DT

Leaving our start point at Yelverton bus stop we head out on the old, undulating Whitleigh road to Tavistock. From there we climb through Lamerton to Carr's garage then turn north. More country lanes out to our lunch stop. Our return is via the climb at Chillaton and the superb descent of Lower Chaddlehanger. Finally we follow the Drake's trail back to our start point.

It's all about the hills. Lots of undulations and two notable climbs. But lots of opportunities to test your descending skills.

Almost all the ride is on Devon's lovely country lanes. Make no mistake though, this is summer, there could be some traffic about on some of them. Road bike of hybrids fitted with road tyres would be best for this ride.

We shall stop at the top of the major climbs to ensure the group stays together, and at Lifton farm shop for a bite of lunch.

Usual rules apply. Helmets are mandatory, as is a spare inner tube/tools and, even though it's daytime there are lots of trees, bring your light. Snacks and plenty of fluids are a necessity also.

We never leave anyone behind
