We are an informal, social, and friendly club with a mixture of riding abilities. We aim to discover the lanes and byways (avoiding main roads) of Devon & Cornwall + the hidden cafes & farm shops for tea/coffee and cake. Meeting every Sunday morning, weather permitting, from different locations, we publish a list of planned rides with the leaders on the website. The idea is to ride at a steady pace with regard to the slowest rider in the group (no racing) and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Devon & Cornwall with the odd coffee & cake stop, also the occasional pub stop. All are welcome to join us, We ride on a mixture of bikes, hybrid road bikes, touring, and e-bikes.
Any enquiries see Contact page in menu, to ride with a particular group, see contact details below on A & B groups.
We are out most of the day covering 25-40 miles, depending on leader. See ride list for locations of start & area, You can just turn up on the day,or for details,

Our club rides offer longer, more adventurous rides through Devon and Cornwall, usually covering 30–45 miles. We explore quiet country lanes, villages and places of interest, often travelling well beyond Plymouth.
Rides generally occupy most of the day, with stops for refreshments along the way. Routes, starting points and meeting times are published in advance, and riders are welcome to join us at the advertised meeting point.
We also arrange occasional weekday rides, particularly for retired members and others who are free during the week. These depend on the weather and the availability of a ride leader.
For details of forthcoming rides, see the Club Ride page.
New riders are always welcome. You don't need to be an experienced club cyclist, but you should be comfortable riding on country roads and able to manage the advertised distance.
Both conventional bicycles and e-bikes are welcome. We ride together at a sociable pace, with stops for refreshments along the way.
Bring suitable clothing, a spare inner tube, a drink and some money for refreshments.
If you're thinking of joining us for the first time, Trevor will be happy to answer any questions.
