Cliff Top Cappuccino Challenge 2020: Torpoint Ferry to Whitsand Bay

Torpoint Ferry to Whitsand Bay via St John, Milbrook, Cawsand, Rame and back via Anthony and Torpoint. Please join me for just under 20 miles of pretty Cornish lanes via some challenging little village hills, lovely flat waterside, a bit more steady countryside climbing and be rewarded with stunning seaside views and a well deserved coffee stop. Caffeine fuelled, we'll cruise back the easy way down through Anthony and back along the main road through Torpoint and back across the ferry.

This ride is aimed at road cyclists with moderate experience and fitness wishing to increase their strength and confidence within a supportive group. Average speed 10-12mph though its more about just keeping the effort up rather than maintaining a steady pace. If you're not too keen on hills this ride IS for you as we will encourage each other to embrace them...we will always wait for each other and even if a little bit of walking is required, next time we will be a little stronger and get a little further! We can always adapt the ride to suit the groups abilities, either a few more stops to take a breather, to going further and faster as we improve!

Please ensure your bike is in good working order and bring helmet, spare tube and pump. The cafe stop is for a quick coffee / toilet break only, please bring your own snacks to eat on the move if needed. The ride is sheduled to be back by around 2pm unless all participants agree to to extend the ride a bit further.

Meet at the PLYMOUTH side of the Torpoint Ferry. If driving note the Brickfields free car park (Madden Road PL1 4NE) may not be open but you could park on nearby road and cycle the short 1 mile distance to the ferry yourself. Toilet facolities on ferry and route may not be available either. Briefing, bike checks etc will happen on the ferry and the ride will start from when we leave the ferry at Torpoint. Experienced group riders may meet us Torpoint side if you can time it to meet us and join in as we won't be stopping to wait that side.(Please let me know if you are planning to do this so we can look out for you.)

Ride is subject to weather conditions and likely to be cancelled if high winds are forecast. Please book at least one day before the ride and check on the morning of the ride. I will message paricipants booked on the ride to confirm.
