Advice from Cornwall dwellers sought

Post by wolfy »

How do,

Any of you peoples in cornwall recommend any good areas for biking over the easter weekend. Embarrassed to say have never made it to cornwall on a bike before as always too much luggage etc but this easter was thinking about popping down and checking the place out on the bike, can anyone suggest any really good parts to head to for best roads, other bikers to tag along with etc? That be cool. Thanks.
:D

If you're coming to Cornwall over easter, expect to find the best biking roads in Devon!!!

Already noticed the increase of caravans this weekend.

Best advice is to avoid the obvious road, Lands End - St Just & anywhere around Newquay.

Suggest Helston - Lizard, Tregony - St Mawes or up the A39 to Bideford & come back via Holsworthy/Launceston.

Now THAT is a great route. Fantastic roads and a big healthy diet burger ar Cap'n jaspers to finish it off.

Well recommended.

Tavistock - Liskeard

Saltash - Launceston or Gunnislake - Launceston

Launceston - Bude
