Cornwall Trip - Monday 10^th - Friday 14^th June 2019

Outline

We have organised a 4/5 day cycle tour from Penzance to Exeter on Mon 10 Fri 14 June.

10 people signed up by the closing date of 31 March. As we have smaller numbers than last time we will be able to ride as a single group.

We will repeat the format of the 2016 Penzance-Exeter ride.

• 2016 Trip Details

Participants will have to organise their own transport to Penzance (probably train) on the Monday and will need to arrange their own accommodation in each overnight location (Penzance, Falmouth, Fowey, and Plymouth). You will be expected to carry your own gear (e.g. spare tubes, snacks, spare clothes, nightwear, etc.)

You will also have to lead on one or more days and/or investigate coffee, tea and dinner stops.

Note that each day will involve cycling distances of up to 50 miles and climbing up to 4,600 feet with luggage.

Transport Down

Most have booked a train down to Penzance on Monday 10^th June.

Routes

Leaders will need to let the tea and coffee investigator which way they are going. Also they will also need to check that relevant ferries are running and that the ferries can take bikes.

Note: The effective distance is the actual distance plus 5km for each 100m climbed. It gives an indication of the difficultly of a given route.
