Ivybridge to shipley bridge via scenic route and return by different route

The ride will start from Ivybridge Railway car park. There is free parking
The route is comprised of lovely country lanes mostly with a welcome stop at a refreshment van at Shipley Bridge so bring some money with you. If the van is not there then we will stop at the station café in South Brent on the way back.
The majority of the ride will be on country lanes with some traffic but you must be confident riding on roads as we go up out of Ivybridge to Bittaford
This route is hilly in places with a steady climb out of Ivybridge and several sharp climbs out of Bittaford, Aish, Shipley Bridge and South Brent on the return
The entire route is on road although they are mostly quiet ones. Some of the roads have potholes and loose gravel so you must be confident to ride such terrain. A road bike, electric bike or hybrid bike are suitable for the route
We will stop at the bottom and top of the hills to make sure we are all together.
Please make sure you bring with you:
*fully checked and working bike (hybrid, road, e-bikes are welcome)
*spare inner tube pump and tools to remove a tyre
* A helmet is a must on this ride
* Appropriate clothing for the weather
We will travel at an easy pace and will never leave anyone behind so come and join us, looking forward to see you on the ride.
I am a fair weather cyclist and will not subject you to a ride in foreseen poor weather and will amend or cancel the ride if necessary
