Useful links for planning rides

Devon bicycle transport

Biketrail.co.uk

Some of us are doing the Devon coast to coast later in the year and we were struggling to organise the one-way aspect of the journey ie. getting the bikes and us to the start, while leaving the cars at the finish.

This company can transport a lot of bikes and people in one direction (they do walkers as well), so if you're planning a ride in Devon or anywhere around the South West, they are worth a call. Biketrail.co.uk

Sustrans

This site covers in depth the planning of touring rides right up to very long distance epics. There are particularly useful checklists and its obvious the writers have actually done what they are talking about.
