George and the Dragon

Not one for the feint hearted. Not just starting on possibly busy roads but this one may really test your climbing ability.
Starting at the George Park and Ride we head toward Marsh Mills via the new hospital access road.
From there we’ll follow the Embankment cycle path until we cross Laira Bridge.
Then we climb!! all fairly gentle but for some distance passing through Elburton, Sherford, Ivybridge and on to Wrangaton.
A few miles along the Erme Valley where you can freewheel if you wish after which we turn into Ermington and head for our well earned coffee and cake rest.
Rested and refreshed we set out on the more serious work climbing through Ivybridge, Cornwood and then Dragon Hill leading to the undulating moorland road past Cadover Bridge to Clearbrook.
Finally we take either the Plymbridge trail to Bickleigh or the Tavistock road for our final gentle zip back to our start point.
