Join me on Day 2 of my epic Devon Coast-to-Coast adventure! This day was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, covering 39 miles with a total ascent of 781 meters.
The journey kicked off smoothly along the scenic Tarka Trail, but they didn’t let up once the climbs began! The route became even more captivating as I neared Dartmoor National Park. Just past Okehampton, I hopped onto the Granite Way, where I crossed the breathtaking Meldon Viaduct—the highest point of the day. The views were spectacular: endless lush green fields on one side and the rugged beauty of Dartmoor’s Tors on the other.
The route skirted Dartmoor, weaving through charming villages before finally arriving in the picturesque town of Lydford, where I wrapped up this unforgettable day of riding.
