IMPORTANT:
Please read all information including the free parking option and see photos attaches at the photo tab below.
This ride is not suitable for skinny road tyres.
anything above 28c is advisable over 30c will be better. Gavel, MTB, Hybrid are more suited to the compact gravel surface of the rough country lanes and Wray valley trail.
All riders must wear a helmet and have a spare inner tube to fit their tyre size including those who use tubeless tyres, NO INNER TUBE NO RIDE(we will be quite remote so a spare inner tube is vital )

Now the formalities are over let’s get cracking....
We will start the ride from Bovey Tracy
And cycle towards Moretonhampstead through the Wray Valley traffic free trail (the Stover Way) it is mostly gravel and compact gravel so suitable tyres are important.
From Moretonhampstead we will return to Bovey via the road to start with on a steep climb on the B3212 but only for 1 mile, leaving main road quickly to continue on the quieter undulating scenic route on country lanes cycling through beautiful views passing Kennick Tottiford and Trenchfors Reservoirs, brilliant photo opportunity there. Angulating route but at a steady pace.

Refreshment stop will be at one of the cafés in Moretonhampstead.
For those who knows me im not the fastest cookie up hills so if I can do it so can you and we always stop at the top for a breather.
Please note! There will always be a section large or small where we will be cycling on roads so riders must be confident cycling with traffic.
Recommended: please check the weather as It can be a tad colder at Moretonhampstead and on our decent a wind proof or an extra layer will be advisable if the weather warrant
The usual applies:* Helmet. *Inner tube *lights *fully checked and working bike
*pennies for refreshment
*snacks
We are a friendly bunch and never leave anyone behind so come and join us, looking forward to see you on the ride.
