The Exeter Section Sunday rides stop at a number of local cafes and garden centres. Many of these cafes are also used by the 'Coffee Pot' riders on Thursday mornings. These locations welcome cyclists - but note that some are not open every day (i.e. if you are not on a CTC run it is worth phoning them to check that they are open).
Sunday rides normally start at 10.00 am and arrive at the nominated 'elevenses' stop at about 11.00 am. This break lasts 45-60 minutes. New riders will often ride from the start to the 'elevenses' stop and then return to the start if they don't want to spend a whole day cycling.
The list is available as a Word document which can be printed out.
