This is a beautiful trip starting from Exeter. Catching the train to Barnstaple and then riding the Tarka Trail and NCN 27 back to Exeter. A fabulous day and journey.
Hi Richard welcome to my channel and thanks for your kind words, it’s been a while but I should have another vlog uploaded this week. Thanks for watching and happy riding take care. 👍🏼🚴🏻♂️
Just got around to watching this, bloody lovely stuff. I'm jealous! Had it all going for you, nice weather, not many people and great scenery. Hope you and your family are keeping well through these trying times, and look forward to your next videos...
Really enjoy your videos mate.. Please, please, keep em coming, looks a lovely part of the world to ride. Great scenery, lucky to have such an incredible bike path to ride..
Andy C, Thank you 🙏🏻, Devon is a beautiful place to ride and I am very lucky to live here, I do have so many more places to share with you guys so the vlogs will be coming buddy. Thanks for watching and happy riding, take care 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😀
Andrew Lord, I think it’s the way forward buddy, my bike loved it on the train 😂😂 the tarka trail is an amazing route to ride. Take care and thanks for watching happy riding 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😀
Chris Brown, thank you some much, I loved that ride and the weather was fantastic but it did tire me. Thanks for watching and happy riding, take care 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😀
I really missed not getting to Devon with my bike last year (and probably this year, too) due to Covid. I've done the Tarka Trail several times & also the bit round Petrockstow / Sheepwash, etc - check out my bike ride videos on my channel. Somewhat hilly once you get off the Tarka Trail! Excellent cuppa and cake at the Puffing Billy although I suspect it's not open at the moment?
James Social Cycling, the tarka trail was magical to ride that day with so much to see, and not to many people/ riders about. I hope your well buddy thanks for watching and happy riding, take care 👍🏻😀🚴🏻♂️
Hi, that was a great ride and I do highly recommend doing it. So much to see and the trails are beautiful. Thanks for watching and happy riding. 👍🏻😎🚴🏻♂️
Love the Tarka Trail Harvey 👍 If your ever up there again, try to incorporate the Petrockstowe to Meeth part of the trail, instead of turning off to Sheepwash on the Route 27. Recommend it as it's a lovely winding path through some lovely woods. My favourite part of the trail 👍
Hi Dean, it’s been many years since I last rode the tarka trail and I did ride too Meeth as the car was parked there then. But I did regret not going that way again this time because like you say it’s so beautiful riding Through the trees. Many thanks for watching and happy riding, stay safe. 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😃
It’s been awhile and looking back at this vlog, yes I must get the camera rolling again, I’ve got some great rides planned for this sunny summer. Take care and thanks for watching. 🚴🏻♂️😎👍🏻
I did enjoy that route and I do recommend you make the effort to go and ride the tarka trail it’s well worth it. The last piece of music played was from a artist called Pascal song Friendships. Many thanks for watching and happy riding take care. 🚴🏻♂️👍🏻
Hi I think your vlogs are great. I would like to ride the tarka trail from Barnstable to meeth then to Exeter and on to Paignton, but am new to using starva and also have a wahoo. I am having trouble working the maps out - may I ask what you put into starva to get the tarka trail map on it.
James Hill , Hi I don’t use Strava for map or route planning, I prefer to use ride with gps, it free and has a fantastic interface. Route planning is easy with all the OSM cycle mapping. Just simply pair the wahoo app and Strava to rwgps and when you finish planning your route press save and it will automatically go to your wahoo with all the turn by turn navigation, it’s great. Take care and enjoy the tarka trail,Thanks for watching and happy riding. 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😀
Hi Harvey, strange question but I have just brought a new Giant defy advanced pro2 last week and wend out Friday and Saturday with mates I always ride with. I had a terrible time and not sure if it was me, the bike or what but I was between 15 and 20 min behind them on our stops as I just could not get anything out of the bike all I seem to do was spin like a mad man and get know where. when you got your Giant did it take any time to get used to it or did you as I was expecting just get on it and ride just as well as any other bike you had been on?
Trade Balustrade, that’s very strange you experiencing that amount of spin, I personally didn’t have any problems like that, I went from my race bike to this Endurance bike and never had any difficulties. But in fact, once I changed my wheels to dt Swiss and my tyres to GP 5000 I was smashing PRs everywhere, are gearing is much the same so I’m at a loss. Maybe it’s just about set up, saddle etc, I do wish you well, keep In touch thanks for watching and happy riding 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😀
Pauly Flyer, Hi buddy yes you must if you can ride the Tarka trail, it’s a very beautiful and Picturesque route. I’m riding the giant defy and that’s a battery charger on my seat post for my rear GoPro. Thanks for watching and happy riding. 👍🏻😀🚴🏻♂️
Graeme Eccles, hi what you see on the seat post is a battery charger for my rear GoPro. However i am carrying a Topeak road pocket rocket on my Downtube, thanks for watching and happy riding, take care 👍🏻🚴🏻♂️😀
