Cycling
Three days of fabulous local cycling, starting and finishing at school. The aim is to enjoy the freedom of being out in the lanes and woods of East Devon and also enjoy the option of some ‘off road tracks’, for those who like mountain biking.  Some of the hills are steep but don’t worry as we always rest and regroup at the top! Plenty of breaks and a lunchtime pit stop to ‘chill’.

You will need a roadworthy bike, a helmet, a spare inner-tube and a hi-vis back-pack cover (or we can provide one).  You will also need drinks, snacks and money for ice-creams together with suitable clothing for cycling (light-weight rain coat/sun protection).

Plenty of opportunities to feel the breeze in your hair as you whizz downhill or weave around bumps along forest tracks!
