anyone interested in a two day (or stretched over three day if others prefer) ride from bath to penzance. I'm planning on doing this towards the end of September or early October. there are a couple of non-forum riders interested in coming too.
credit card style, ie prepare packages of required clothes/toiletries/other stuff and post them ahead to pre-booked B&Bs. this means no need to ride with backpack/panniers etc.
if anyone wants to join me I’ll be sorting out all the logistics including finding/booking accommodation, detailed route planning and navigation, travel plans to and from etc.
i'll even arrange the packaging and posting ahead of people's stuff to the B&Bs en-route. guess i'm in the mood for a bit of a project.
just a 1st pass route plan so far which will need refactoring a couple of times.
routes below are for a two day trip.
route is around 250 miles and follows the coast as much as possible, including through exmoor. from what i remember of the north devon roads, the first day will present some pretty challenging riding.
trains back from penzane are direct, fast and leave more or less hourly until 10pm on weeknights or 9pm on Sundays.
spend the night in penzance or catch a train back asap (after a celebratory swim)
