Hello, older newbie here,
Anyone in or near Ashburton who meet up to do leisurely mtb rides in the area? I'm not massively experienced and as I'm approaching middle-age (mid-life crisis?!?) I'd like to get back out there (on my trusty 20+ year old mountain bike!) and hit some (easy) trails around Dartmoor. Not a big fan of road cycling but don't mind the smaller country lanes to get to and from places.
Big peaks might do a shop ride.
And the bike hub in totnes do a midweek gravel/mtb thing. Loads of green lanes between Ashburton and totnes.
there’s a local ride at Haldon I think (I haven’t lived there in a long time) which might be a good place to meet locals.
I think someone on here organises or participates.
Thanks. I'll check out bike hub in Totnes and have been thinking about visiting Haldon forest - so will do that sometime too. Did a bit of the Wray valley trail recently and some of Drakes trail yesterday, with a bit of off-piste, getting a bit lost on Dartmoor type of stuff.
There's a group page of Facebook called "Devon MTB Club" seems pretty active with people organising rides, I'd suggest checking it out.
