Ride in Torquay

canny_lad

Coming down to see the outlaws for the bank holiday and I might get to fetch the bike down with me, depends whether or not my daughters come with us.

Assuming they don't I fancy a ride on Sunday morning but don't know the area very well. Anyone live in or around Torquay and fancy a trip out or is there a local club who I can tag along with?

I'll know for definite later in the week if the bike's coming but thought it best to ask in plenty of time.

Cheers

Prob the nearest one. Usually at least 3 different paced groups

MDCC will be your best bet. I'm a member and ride with them most sundays. Lots of riders come in from Torquay on a sunday morning to ride. There are usually 5 rides each sunday, in order of speed;
A, M1, M2, B, Social

I normally ride in M2 and we average 25kph on hilly rides and 29kph on flatter rides. Most rides are hilly and are between 80 and 110km with a cafe stop half way.

Here are a selection of recent M2 rides;

If you want to come along just turn up at Abbrook (TQ123PS) at 9am decide which group you're going with introduce yourself to your ride leader and go.

Big thanks to the MDCC who I went out with yesterday. Did 56 miles over some stunning scenery with some tough climbs and cracking descents. Great bunch, was a pleasure to ride with them
