After last summer’s enjoyable jaunt around the Isle of Wight by yours truly, Dean, Rob & Stu, it has been decided to do something similar again this year. After much faffing and too-ing and fro-ing on Facebook we have been and chosen our challenge - which is not too dissimilar to before:
We will be taking 2 days to cycle off-road (where possible) the 99 miles from the north to south coasts of the county of Devon - the only county in England to have 2 separate coastlines.

| The route writ large. |
The plan is to start with our feet in the sea at Ilfracombe, then head south following the
National Cycle Network route 27 until we get our feet wet once more in Plymouth. It will be an intense couple of days cycling and the first day will have the majority of the climbing on it. However we will be breaking it up with an overnight at the
Betty Cottles Inn in Okehampton so there's some decent scran and beer to look forward to - an incentive to get there as soon as possible if ever there was one :) The second day will lead us around the western edge of Dartmoor and the panoramic scenery of the wilderness before depositing us on the coast.
It looks like we’ll be doing this over a weekend in June… I’m buzzing for this already!
Eat pies.
Drink beer.
Cycle far.
