Breeze Dartmoor Taster Tavistock to Princetown and Merrivale.

Breeze ride from Tavistock to the edge of Dartmoor. Starting at Dartmoor Cycles, which is at West Devon Business Park, Brook Lane, Tavistock. PL19 9DP, we will cycle along the traffic free Drakes Trail to Yelverton. From there we will cycle through Dousland and take it slow and steady up Peek Hill and carry on through the undulating picturesque roads to Princetown and stop for a well earned cup of coffee and a slice of cake at the Fox Tor Cafe. After a short break we will carry on through Princetown and head down hill, back towards Tavistock Via Merrivale and Pork Hill. We will be doing approximately 24 miles at the most, and cycling at around 10 - 11 miles an hour. This ride has a few hills, but nothing extreme, and is most suitable for those wanting to experience a little bit of Dartmoor without the steep inclines, and those doing the Dartmoor Classic Piccalo, on road bikes and light hybrids with road tyres. A helmet is a must and please wear something hi Viz. Also bring some money for the Cafe stop. The moors can be windy and cold and the weather can change very quickly so bring a light weight waterproof just in case. In the case of adverse weather conditions the route will be changed accordingly.
