Starting point

PL16 0JR

Lower Rexton Farm, Broadwoodwidger, Lifton, Devon, PL16 0JR

This is a 16.5 mile route on country roads with low traffic volume.  It's well suited to hybrids, mountain bikes and road bikes (although there's quite a lot of 'autumn' fall on the roads at the moment).  This is not a novice ride on account of the distance and the hills which I'm starting to incorporate into the route. The route will take us from near Broadwoodwidger, past a beaver farm (no joshing!), and then down some beautiful lanes with avenues of hardwood trees which border the forestry commission's Witherdon Forest as we almost visit Germansweek; a pretty village with views of Roadford Reservoir, several courteous lady tractor drivers and a very low crime rate (on account of the 5 policemen who live there!) Make sure you bring water bottles and you have the right clothing for the ride.  If it's damp or wet, bring a spare set of clothes for after.  Husband potentially on cake duties unless someone else wants to take up the 'Bake-Off' mantle?
