Starting point




Devon
PL7 4TB

An amalgamation of a number of well established routes to produce a longer single ride at a steady pace whilst the light holds.
At this time of year we are at the mercy of both weather and time constraints so the actual route is not fixed and adjustments are possible, if not expected.
From our start at Coypool we’ll warm up the legs on the Embankment cycle path and the take the gentle climb all the way up to Deep Lane and Sparkwell. From there it’s back downhill to Lee Mill and Ivybridge before the next gentle uphill to Wrangaton.
A few serious undulations (there’s no avoiding these in South Devon) before lunch at The Ringfeeder cafe.
Fully refreshed we take a long and winding (and mostly downhill) cruise round the top of Modbury heading for Ermington.
The run home is not without its challenges as we return by Ivybridge and Lee Mill again before the drop into Plympton and the cycle path back to Coypool.
It’s going to be a day out so, dress appropriately and bring snacks. Remember; it’s a steady ride so there’s no real rush and nobody gets left at the back (except me!)
