Starting point

TQ3 2NJ

The Boathouse Bar & Grill, Marine Drive, Preston, Paignton

This 16 mile ride will take us from Preston Sands to Brixham Breakwater bistro. The outward route is a combination of road and traffic-free cycle paths along the seafronts of Paignton and Goodrington sands. The road will the take us up towards the shops at Three Beaches where we then pick up the quieter lanes into Brixham. The cafe is situated right on the beach at the Brixham breakwater - a lovely spot to take a well-earned rest! The return journey will see us retrace our steps to Three Beaches where we then divert onto the cycle paths back towards Paignton zoo and finally the seafront at Paignton and Preston to return to our starting point. View the route here: http://www.mapometer.com/cycling/route_3861532.html The ride will be led at a steady and sociable pace and no one will be left behind. There are some hills so not for the complete beginner but if you are confident on a bike and have a good level of fitness please join us. It’s a good idea to bring a drink, snack, bike lock, and money for the cafe. Suitable clothing for the weather on the day - suncream possibly?!! Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part. If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Please also bring a spare tube, tyre levers and a pump just in case of a puncture! We really welcome newcomers to our rides and no one is left behind.

Look forward to seeing you there! Elaine Mason
