Starting point

PL7 4NR

Coy pool B&Q car park

We will set off from Coypool B&Q car park and ride up the Plym Trail to Clearbrook conserving our energy for what is coming. Turning right we go down a steep hill and bear left up a steep climb so get into those low gears ladies. Don't push too hard because the hill goes on - and on, finally levelling out, crossing a road and falling back down again to Meavy. If the Royal Oak is open we could stop but we may be too early so we go past the pub and up again until we meet the road leading up to the turning to Burrator. One lap of the reservoir (or more if you feel fit) and back through Dousland and along the main road to Yelverton. Here we will choose a cafe before rolling down the trail back to Coypool. Either bring some food or be prepared to buy something in a cafe because you will feel hungry. This will not be a race. We will wait for anyone wanting to walk the hills. Take your time, take some photos and enjoy the views. Although any bike will do, a road or hybrid would make it an easier ride.
