An early start to Pork Hill and Beyond, A Challenging, Hilly Ride
Wednesday 22nd July 2026 8:30am
Starting from - We will meet at the George Park and Ride free car parking and toilets.
An early start to avoid too long in the heat of the day.
This is a challenging ride with some long climbs. Suitable for strong riders and e-bikes. If you are riding an e-bike please know the range of your battery as it may have a lot of use!
Although a challenging route, we will cycle at a steady pace together - from The George to Yelverton via the cycle trail and onward to Tavistock by continuing on the cycle trail, cycling through Tavistock on main road heading up Pork Hill to Merrivale and then onto Princetown, stopping for refreshments at Fox Tor Cafe or The Old Police Station before heading back to Yelverton and joining the cycle track to The George P&R.

It is a CHALLENGING, hilly ride on busy roads, suitable for strong riders who are good with riding
up hills as there are plenty of them.
The roads between the cycle trails are generally quiet and although they can be busy and fast at times, they are wide and regularly frequented by cyclists. The downhill sections can be quite fast, therefore you must be confident descending under control at a speed you are comfortable with.
Please bear in mind the temperature can be several degrees colder at Princetown than Coypool.
I would suggest bringing two water bottles and a snack/gel
please bring with you
*fully checked and working bike (Road/Hybrid and e-bikes welcome)
*spare inner tube suitable for the bike, tyre levers and a pump
*a helmet is a must on this ride
*lights for the tunnels on the cycle trails
*appropriate clothing for the weather
*a rain jacket
*money for refreshment stop.
