Torpoint Confidence Builder (start from The Lawns)

Around the northern edge of Torpoint, along a couple of country lanes and back past HMS Raleigh and through residential streets, returning back to the start. There will be some traffic along the main road and we may encounter mud and/or tractors on the lanes! The residential streets are quiet at this time of day.

This ride is aimed at those returning to riding a bike and wanting to gain confidence riding on the main road. All riders should have basic ability in riding. The aim is to build up and eventually extend the rides to going over the ferry and exploring Plymouth once the weather improves.

There are no traffic free routes in the town but we will avoid busiest roads where possible. There may be some mud along the lanes coming back in toward town.

We sill stop for refreshments during the ride.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate clothing for the weather, a helmet is mandatory. Check that your bike is roadworthy. Lights are advisable, particularly during the darker winter days. Bring some money for refreshments.

Although we do ride along the main road there is good visibility and you will get plenty of support and encouragement. If you feel nervous or have any questions please message the ride leader.
