The Quay to the Sea

Meet at 9.30am at Exeter Quay and we'll ride out along the cycle path, past Turf Locks and Powderham Castle to Dawlish Warren and the sea. A quick rest stop to admire the view then we'll turn around and retrace our tracks, stopping off for coffee/cake/sausage bap on the way home, then carry on back to the Quay.

This ride is around 25 miles and flat, mostly on cycle path and quiet roads. It's not a beginner ride, but if you're happy at a steady pace, okay on quiet roads and can cycle for an hour or so without stopping you'll be fine. We won't leave anyone behind! Suitable for all bikes.

Parking at the larger Haven Banks car park at the end of Michael Browning Way (EX2 8DP) near the Quay is £2.50 all day if you're arriving by car.

Future rides on this route could either extend to Dawlish, or return via a hillier route or cross on the Starcross to Exmouth ferry for an alternative return leg!
