Cycling Cornwall?
Hiya, Planning a cycle trip through Cornwall this summer. Have got some great maps, and also a quite informative website: http://www.cycle-n-sleep.co.uk/ which do give some info on cycling in the area. Now, my question is this: Will it be enjoyable to cycle through Cornwall, or will it simply be too hilly to enjoy unless one is training for the Tour de France? We cycle commute to work every day, and are rather fit in general, but I would love to hear of people who have cycled in Cornwall and how they found it, which route they did etc. We are looking at one week, and want to have enough time for an afternoon “off”. Would it be bettter to rent a car, and do small trips instead? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My current commute is half an hour, and includes quite a few hills and ups and downs. So not quite Cornwall, but not totally unfamilira to the idea of constant uphill…
Depends. It’s fairly hilly and ots of narrow lanes. If you are journeying (ie cycle camping)you could stop at each campsite for two nights. /this would allow you to ‘travel light’ every other day but still allow you journey.
Try to get out for some decent weekends cycling to see how you get on. and keep your daily mileage to a sensible level, after all, it is a holiday.
You will find the first 3 or 4 days quite tough but, it does get easier.
One more thing, get some decent waterproof clothing.and beware of the southwesterly winds.
