'Escape from Cornwall'

This year- for the first time- we are breaking out of Devon,
and will be starting at Looe, South Cornwall.
We then ride across Cornwall and Devon, to finish in Barnstaple.

We will be again supporting this with a coach from
Barnstaple to the start in the morning,
with a separate fee at cost price.
More details soon.

Once again we have two challenges-
the 'D' (direct) route of approx 100kms (average 10 mph speed),
and the challenging 'Z' (Zigzag) route of approx 100 miles (average 14mph speed).

 

As before, there are the features which makes the ride so special- and loved;

• This is NOT a sportif- it is a social ride!

• Limited to 500 entrants- so hurry!
• Same start and finish for both routes
• Communal stops, where the routes regroup, and start again- together
• Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea included in the entry fee (you wont go hungry!)
• Telephone support for the riders; if you get stuck, call us, and we will do what we can to help- (within the ride time limits).
• A great finish!

We are pleased to say we have frozen the financial requirements
for the ride for another year-
the entry fee is again £20.00,
with a FURTHER commitment to raise a minimum of £50 for the North Devon Hospice.
Don't forget this is a minimum;
riders have raised a lot more than this before.
Also, if you do not meet this requirement,
then your place in next years ride may be at risk.

(Please note- we reserve the right to change the route to accommodate

safety, time scales, roadworks, and reason yet to be determined)
