Led cycle ride from South Brent to Ashburton return

Sunday 15 August 2021: Led bike ride from South Brent to Ashburton and back, starting from the Old School Community Centre, South Brent at 10am.

A ‘Big Bike Revival’ ride, led by an experienced cyclist at an easy pace for the enjoyment of all riders along the proposed new safe cycle path extension of National Cycle Network route 2. The route links the three Dartmoor towns each with their own distinct character, and the beautiful countryside of the lower moor. There will be a stop-over in Buckfastleigh for refreshments, and later in Ashburton for lunch (total is about 18 miles return). Recently surveyed by Sustrans (the walking and cycling charity, and the custodian of the National Cycle Network), the route has been proposed for development as a dedicated, accessible cycle route, to link the three towns into the overall network of cycling routes locally, including provision of a safe cycle path to/from South Dartmoor Community College in Ashburton.

The route will be mainly on-road and there are a few hills, making the ride suitable for cyclists who are confident beginners with some experience and reasonable fitness. See: ssb.org.uk/event/sustrans-led-cycle-ride-from-south-brent-to-ashburton-return/.
