Great video, thank you. Watched it before cycling the route to learn a few bits, which helped lots, cycled it (March 2023) and just watched again afterwards with a smile and a pint! Thank you.

How long did the ride take you?

[@FlashyWhippet]

Great video; am doing the ride on Monday. Very useful.

[@sandpit72]

Good luck, looking at the forecast best day of the next 3.

[@simonw6179]

I'm planning to do Plymouth to Ilfracombe, stay 1 night then return to Plymouth the following day. This video will help me so much in terms of navigation i'm sure :)

[@c.j.v.5282]

Excellent video

[@robinhodge6]

Just completed it on my Specialized Turbo Levo from Ifracombe to Plymouth. Did it with my brother. Great ride. We took it easy and stopped overnight at Great Torrington and Lydford. Hired a van in Plymouth to transfer bikes back to car in Ifracombe then dropped van off in Barnstaple.

How many charges did you need?

[@andyalder7794]

I remember you doing it the other way round a few years ago, is the bit by Peter Tavy rideable 2 years ago we had to push that bit. I’m doing it from Illfracombe next week

[@sandpit72]

Andy Alder Bike I was on will take any terrain but that bit is like a public footpath. Worst problem are bits not signposted well, just after Halford Bridge & Tavistock tricky, I took the route on simply from memory from 8 years ago.

[@andyalder7794]

@@sandpit72 about 4 years ago you did a video of the former Birmingham City training ground, I cycled past there a few weeks ago and was shocked to see that the Land Rover factory has been extended all along Damson lane and all the fields etc have gone 😩

[@sandpit72]

@@andyalder7794BCFC rent the current training ground at Wast Hills, Kings Norton from Birmingham University. Damson Lane would have made a great permanent location for a training ground (plus a less invasive development). I'm guessing JLR have owned the land for a while for future expansion, shame really as handy to the airport for when BCFC get into Europe under current manager Lee Bowyer lol

[@DaveMcKeownMusic]

brave heading off in that weather! Glad it got better later

[@jmac2031]

Ride and a half that one Sandy, most enjoyable.

[@paulduggins9899]

Judging by the shadows I'd estimate it must have took about 12 hours all in. Is that about right? I'm planning on doing as much of it as I can in a single go soon and am trying to understand the size of the challenge.

[@korclo]

Did you do it?

[@pjorgensen1661]

Nice 👍🏻

[@tonypotter9578]

Really useful video, looks a great ride. Planning for this year but starting from Ifracombe. Don’t suppose you have footage in reverse?

[@sandpit72]

I don't have it running south due to sun glare into the camera.

[@tonypotter9578]

Did you follow a set route. Gpx file?

[@sandpit72]

@@tonypotter9578 No, I knew the route.

[@korclo]

At 7.22, did you hit the beagal lol? Nightmare that path for dogs, although I ride it but also walk my dog there so see it from both sides

[@sandpit72]

I've never hit a dog but was attacked by a dog in 2012 as I rode by.

[@peacepuffz]

Hey man did you catch the train down 1st or cycle down & back up again?

[@sandpit72]

Train down, first service.

[@peacepuffz]

@@sandpit72 Nice man, I'm gonna give it a go. Was it around 5 hours? mind you no way i'd remember all those turnings. Great channel dude we're so lucky in North Devon to be able to find those quite spots.

[@sandpit72]

@@peacepuffz Much longer than 5 hours, make sure to have notes or map as some bits are not signposted
