    So as I wind down ahead of my new job starting in May I now have 6 four day weeks to enjoy. It would be a shame to waste these, but we only have one car but am based in Exeter. So this get’s me thinking; Where can I go riding that can be accessed via train with out to many road miles?

    Ideas on a postcard viewers!

    Get train to Plymouth and ride back to Exeter across the moor!

    Dorset is easy reach, even easier if you cycle back toward Exeter and pick up another station back.

    Salisbury & Wylye Valley? Maybe take in Stonehenge from a safe distance? Not the Quantocks but nice riding in its own way.

    Both different options to whats on your doorstep.

    Sorry, meant Parkway, and yes Grogley is a fair way out the other side of Bodmin but it has the better trails!!

    agree but i thought the not too many road miles would put it out of contention.

    gawton is rideable from bere alston station.
