The A Team - Nov 2023
Pen-y-Fan
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.

A Group—This is the stronger, more adventurous group going farther afield for which the rides and locations are published. We are out most of the day covering 30–45 miles, according to the leader on the day. You can just turn up on the day at the location published; for more information about our rides, see the 'A’ Ride page. Main screen
We also do the occasional weekday ride for those not working or retired, and again depending on the weather. For more info. On all rides contact Trevor—07889 984 290 Email: trevbrad235@gmail.com
B Group—This is a slower group covering up to 20/35 miles at a leisurely pace, avoiding hills where possible and with frequent stops to allow riders to catch up. We meet mainly at the grass triangle just before Chaddlewood Garage, Plympton, also at Coypool or Plymco (at the end of Plympton Ridgeway). For further details, see the 'B' Ride page.
