The Next 2 stops

I really do think that the stops this year will help define the ride. We are lucky enough to have some great locations for the riders to stop and refil; the first is at Libbaton Golf Club, Libbaton.

Libbaton Golf Club is right up on top of High Bickington, with some amazing views. Here coffe and tea is provided and it is a great chance to refill your bottles.

We will be stopping here from 10.45- 11.15. If you get there earlier, that's fine- you will have a longer break. The timings on the 2 routes will enable you have approx a half hour stop if you stick to the average speeds.

After being refreshed, we set off again on the next part of the route, on the the dinner stop at North Tawton Rugby Club. This can be found just down the road from the Cremery, and is in the town where the Jennifer Saunders sitcom 'Jam and Jerselem' is filmed.

The town itself is a lovely little place, but the rugby club will enable the riders and their friends/ family can sit, rest and enjoy the sunshine. Found at the suitably named Taw Meadows, the grounds will give the riders a well deserved break.Lunch for the riders consists of soup and hotdogs.

Once again, the dinner is being served at 12.45, and we will be setting off at 1.30. Get there quicker? You get a longer break! Slower? A shorter one (I think you get the idea!).

Check back for details of the afternoon stop, and then, onto Teignmouth!
