Hi
Cycling in Plymouth on the streets is gradually improving as they put new cycle lanes in. Riding on Dartmoor is spectacular, amazing views and great pubs but you’ll probably want gears to get the most out of it. There are some good cycle cafes in Plymouth, Rockets & Rascals on the Barbican and a couple of good bike shops. Certini are in Saltash and are a Specialised dealer and RockinBikes at Yelverton are a independent with great service. Yogi cycling are the biggest club in the area with around 400 members, they mostly cater for road riding and run a number of guided rides on Saturday morning depending on ability. They also have a great MTB wing which has rides every Thursday evening and the first and third Saturday of the month. A very social club.
Plymouth corinthians have a good following but I’ve never ridden with them. If you like downhill then there’s woodland riders and the Gawton bike hub, loads of terrifying downhill tracks. There’s something for everyone including Plym valley cycle track that’s great for families and will get you safely to the edge of Dartmoor without going on roads, also the Granite Way and the Tarka trail.
Hope this helps
