Plymouth - Southway Steady - 11 miler

If you're fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour. Join us for a circular steady ride taking in Southway and a section of the Plym Valley Trail. The route is 11 miles with some challenging hills but we will take the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind and we can always get off and push. This Steady route is for someone looking for a challenge. We'll ride along disused 19th century railway line following the River Plym and pass through the National Trust Plymbridge Woods and Plym Valley. As a charity the National Trust rely heavily on membership subscriptions and admission fees. For every visit your local National Trust Centre will receive some of this money to fund their conservation work so please let us know if you are a member. For more information and becoming a member please visit www.nationaltrust.org.uk For nature enthusiasts we can spot roe deer along Plymbridge Road and Peregrine Falcons can be observed from the RSPB Cann Viaduct viewing platform from March to early summer. During the summer months the George Park and Ride operates a car boot sale so you may wish to have a browse before joining the ride. Please note Toilets are ONLY AVAILABLE when the car park is being used for a car boot sale (March-September) providing it isn't rained off. We look forward to seeing you there!
