A challenging but steady ride to Buckfastleigh

This is a tough and challenging ride (circa 53 miles and 1500 metres of climbing up and down some long and/or steep ascents/descents) which will be cycled at a steady pace to enjoy the beautiful countryside.

Starting from Coypool Park & Ride, we'll cycle out through Saltram, Sherford, Ivybridge, South Brent, stopping at Buckfastleigh (or Buckfast Abbey) for lunch. Back via Holne, Combestone Tor, Hexworthy, Princetown, Yelverton and down the trail to Coypool.

There'll be plenty of opportunities to stop for a breather, snack, photos.
Ride will be paced at 8-10mph average.

You must wear a helmet, please bring two water bottles and snacks, gels if you need them, spare tubes, lights and appropriate clothing (cold start expected). E-bikes will need a range extender due to the steepness and length of some of the climbs.

As a trained Emergency First Aider, you must consent to me treating you in the event of an incident requiring first aid,

Please call my mobile if you're unsure about your suitability for this ride or if you join/cancel on the day of the ride.
