PL7 4NW

We leave Coypool and head through Plympton towards Newnham, avoiding the busy main road. The route then heads up Les Duex Alps and down Dragon Hill. We will stop at Cornwood for a toilet break if needed and then onto Ivybridge, via Dinnaton, through the back lanes. After Ivybridge, it is then up the gentle undulating 'Erme Valley' and back down through Wrangaton, Bittaford and return to Ivybridge, where we will stop and Endsleigh. The return leg is partly on the cycle path towards Lee Mill and then taking back lanes towards Sparkwell, Hemerdon, Newham and back to Coypool.

This is a Challenging ride, with a few hills, as right from the start we go up Les Deux Alps or 'Col de Lee Moor'. We then head towards Ivybridge and up the Erme Valley. It is therefore aimed at road cyclists, wishing to push themselves a little bit more! We will of course help and encourage each other along the way and we not leave anyone behind! Approx Average Speed 10 - 12mph.

The roads will be mainly country roads, but we will have to cycle through Ivybridge, to get to Endsleigh Farm Shop. The return route is partly on the cycle path, towards Lee Mill.

We will be stopping for coffee and cake, cream tea etc. and Endsleigh Farm Shop.

Please wear helmets and clothing appropriate for the weather. Please also bring spare inner tubes to fit your tyres and make sure that your bike is in good working order. We will be stopping at a cafe, so bring some money also - they do lovely Cream Teas at Endsleigh!

We never leave anyone behind
