"Mike was a member of the Penzance Wheelers, a good friend and a regular on our weekday rides. Last autumn, not far from Praze an Beeble, whilst on one of our weekday rides he suffered a massive heart attack and despite receiving prompt CPR and the speedy arrival of the emergency services, he did not survive. Mike was an enthusiastic all weather rider and is missed by us all”.

Over the past year the club has also funded first aid training, from club funds, for 15 club membersl

It would be great to see as many cyclists as we can come and join us. Previous years we've had cyclists from all areas of the sport, from racers, club cyclists, ebikers, off roaders - it doesn't matter you'll all be welcome!

Here are some notes on the route

In Relubbus the route turns left at the bottom of the hill (this will keep riders off Tregembo hill and away from traffic).  
Through lanes then pretty straight forward to Leedstown across to Praze – then turn right onto Helston road then first left just after passing Clowance – watch the junction as you’ll be approaching at speed.

Climb up through Crowan – join the Releath road and sharp right turn just after junction for Black Rock – this lane takes you down to Coverack bridges (narrow lane so watch out for traffic)
Route joins the Helston-Redruth road then comes off at the Poldark Mines junction after the Wendron decent – watch the junction as you’ll be at speed and road can be busy.

Route then takes you over to Carnkie and Rame – and joins the Helston Falmouth road for a mile or so then right turn after Longdowns garage – down to Mabe Burnthouse and across the roundabout at Asda – again watch out this could be busy through industrial estate – route then takes you down to Penryn – then follows lanes to Mylor Bridge and down Carclew hill – this is a steep narrow decent.
Cross over the Falmouth Truro road and head out to Perranwell and across to Bissoe – up past Twelve heads, Chacewater then up to Blackwater where it does a loop across towards Redruth.

Passing over the Avers roundabout and down into through centre of Redruth – this could be busy with traffic. Turn right at the top of the hill just after the Sandy Lane roundabout then follow to route out towards Stithians lake and Carnmenellis. Then turn right (tight turn) – and route heads back towards Crowan and down from Black Rock to Praze – across to Leedstown then right at cross roads down towards Hayle turn left just after going over A30 bridge (down Water Lane) and pick up the St Erth road and follow lanes back to the start.

The route has a bit more navigation that previous routes – but key places to head for are in bold.

There are Cafes at Mylor Bridge, Bissoe, Twelve Heads & Stithians.
