An Expert ride as it's tough and hilly with several long and a few steep climbs. This needs a compact or triple gear and you'll have to stock up as only Princetown, Yelverton and Tavistock have shops for food & drink. Hot Pursuit Cycles in Totnes (01803 865174) and Dartmoor Cycles in Tavistock (01822 618178) can support last minute needs.by thunderthighs
