London to Plymouth - know any good route?

I can't stand not doing a century or two after a week, decided to go to Plymouth taking two days to get there on a fixie skidder with enough brake to halt Iain, camp halfway of course.

know any good route?

This may help.

Oh and UTFS.

;)

depart paddington, change at exeter

excellent, will do that ride next week (to exeter), I can find my way to Plymouth, know the area well.

first legs to exeter, then second to plymouth.

My parents live just north of Dartmoor but (I'm shamed to say) I've never ridden right across it. Are you planning to go over the moor?

dartmoor is beautiful. some hills of note too.

going to exeter is a little over optimstic come to think of it, pretty stupid as it's nearly 200 miles.

will stop halfway at Bristol instead then ride to Plymouth, about 120-130 miles each day.

found this though, look good;

I'd stop off in Frome, Glastonbury, or one of the nice villages.

good mention miro, I will make a note of that, going to find if there's a campsite nearby.

Did plan on using this to ride back from the IOW Randonee, but bailed about 20 miles in due to crushing headwind.

You might want to edit the last 20 miles or so as I got pretty lazy, but the route out of Portsmouth was a winner, and avoided a lot of shit roads.

Spybot, I love the look of that route, it, and will bookmark it for future reference, but...

it's Plymouth I'm talking about, with a y.

oops. Still half asleep. Go to portsmouth anyway.

Plymouth or Portsmouth?

Take your pick, both are shitholes.

They are, but my relative lived there, the only relative that doesn't have fucking 'Scoble' as his last name.

No criticism of your plan intended, Ed. There's some beautiful countryside to explore between London and both Plymouth and Portsmouth.

exactly, plymouth is just the finish line to get the train back to London, and I get to see my relative I hasn't seen in years.

Coincidentally i am also cycling between Plymouth and London this weekend, however am going the opposite direction. #coolstorybro

Sound like we might have to DAS to each other then.

There's a new bike trail along the Tamar valley, so it might be worth going across Dartmoor to Tavistock and then down the river to Plymouth.

Tavistock is lovely, where I went to school... A38 is a bit interesting though...

I'd stop off in Frome, Glastonbury, or one of the nice villages.

exactly 100 miles from London, good going.

now to plan from Frome to Plymouth.

Right, think I got it sorted.

London to Frome - Frome to Plymouth.

Now, I very much like to have a Garmin...

Garmins are for cunts. Learn to read a map and follow your nose, it's a skill that'll benefit you in life.
