I can confirm the topography around Looe, Polperro and Fowey is savage. And that's coming from a Yorkshireman.

I like that kind of crazy ride. Always creates good memories and sleep well later. Gravel bike def needed for that one. Crazy how much the routing messed up!

Nice to see Ivybridge, Seaton and Looe Coast Path! I used to help run D of E expeditions starting at the Cremyll ferry in Plymouth, camping at Looe (Bay View) and Polperro (top of the hill) and ending up at Fowey so I know that part of the Cornwall Coast quite well.

Well done Juliet, great video, That coastal path is a real adventurous ride, I have done part of it. Your right so scenic and beautiful and Plymouth does lack in looks and a lot of other things but at times it can be a great place to live. There are many very accessible places of outstanding beauty right on our doorstep and of course we have the sea.

Absolutely, I always enjoy visiting Plymouth, it’s so well situated and so many nice tithings to do. The centre is a bit shabby but still a nice place

Glorious plan that one! Completely drawn in by the idea of doing an 100 miler+ to sit at a table having a Sunday roast with your family waiting for you; I've thought about doing similar kind of rides in the past never commencing one in the end out of fear of winding up having to race against time ⏳ I whish that very table you were going to join ( eventually 😁 🌞 =] ) to be the merrier most animated one in the whole Cornwall; Merry Christmas to you and to the whole of your family Juliet! 🇮🇹🎅 👋

@andrewnorris5415 6 ай бұрын

It can be kind of fun and stressful at the same time! I've done 100 + milers with the aim to catch a pre booked train. If it miss it - it means paying the crazy prices for a last min ticket! Another is coming back from Llandudno through the Queens tunnel in Liverpool. It's only open to cyclists for 1 hour at the moment due to maintenance. That was kind of fun in the tunnel. Got stopped by a cop who thought I was mad it was not allowed. Soon convinced him it was allowed. Apparently few cycle through it.

Thank you, it was lovely. We had a nice meal and strolled around looking at the Xmas lights. Perfect. You should try one - maybe when the days are a bit longer if you’re worried about timing.

Great video, Juliet! I hope you enjoyed your Cornish pasty, (and the family dinner). That was quite a ride. And I can still remember a Cornish pasty that I had in Looe, about sixty years ago, it was that delicious!

You're such a quintessential event rider, doing it for the patch. I remember looking forward to my century finisher t-shirts-gotta have "proof" right?

Lovely to see you enjoying our Cornish hills 😅 Truro Rd is definitely not the number 1 choice for leaving St Austell though, we have loads of pretty lanes around here instead! Come down in June and do the Coast and Clay to fully enjoy the Cornish Alps among the clays and the bays of the north coast. ❤

Juliet , have you thought of having a type of go pro wand to hold your camera or phone freeing up your hands , have recently purchased a quad lock phone case with magnet will stick to anything metal and with a proper base would free up your hand , anyway just a idea , great ride

@donnajago 6 ай бұрын

I live in Cornwall and ride the hills all the time, I find it strange to see peoples strava rides where they have rode 100 miles and only done 650 m of climbing, I can do that on a 30km ride.

Yeah I think that too when I see people going 100km and 200m of climbing , I’m like ‘what!’

So would you ever consider those roads through cornwall on a fixed gear? I've done the coast to coast from plymouth to ilfracombe fixed but this looks stupid silly!

@JulietElliottsChannel 6 ай бұрын

I'd only consider it in summer when the roads weren't so slippery and sketchy. Even then it would be pretty daft but definitely fun I imagine

Ride with GPS is a liability and cant be trusted. Got sent on the same mystery tour down the coast path and up the stairs at Millendreath a few years ago and apparently they still haven't fixed their routing.
