Easy Plym Valley Ride

If you are wanting to get back into cycling after a long break or you just fancy an easy ride with a bunch of friendly women, this ride will be ideal.  An easy ride, suitable for beginners (who can already ride a bike) up the Plym Valley trail.  Apart from a very short section at the beginning and end of the ride, this route is entirely traffic-free and is mainly tarred.  The trail follows an old train line so has a very gentle gradient.  It runs through very pretty woods and fields.   Wildlife such as deer and peregrine falcons are often seen along the way.  There is a very short steep section at the end over some uneven ground where we will get off and walk around. We will be going at the rate of the slowest person and stopping for rests if anyone needs a breather and we will be stopping for coffee in Clearbrook village at the top of the trail.   Bring some water and a snack if you fancy one. Children are welcome provided they are accompanied by an adult. It will take approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 to get to the top and is much quicker getting back down.
