Cycling: new bike trails in Devon

So much going on in Devon...

On the Teign:

A short film to highlight the huge support for the completion of the Teign Estuary Trail. A path for cyclists, walkers and pretty much anyone, but most all for the community and the people who live there. The completion of the path will provide a valuable resource. One that will enrich the lives of many, and profit the area by introducing another tourist attraction, similar to the proven success of the Exe Trail and the Camel Trail in Cornwall.

Support for completion of The Teign Estuary Trail - ride out on Sunday, 10th November, 2013 - YouTube 

On the Exe, from Zsolt Schuller of Devon County:

Crediton to Exeter cycle route
Friday, 27 September 2013

THANKS to Roger Clements of Langford Road, Newton St Cyres for bringing the subject of a cycle route from Crediton to Exeter to the Courier Letters page. He is right to point out that the A377 is “not the ideal road”, for cyclists. Nor is it ideal for motorists stuck behind cyclists.
The Boniface Trail Group on Facebook is another attempt to step up the effort to achieve a safe and cycle friendly route to Exeter.
Two meetings in Crediton are coming up and a group ride along a safe cycle route, where there is one, in Exeter. 
October 22 - 7.30pm - Crediton Inn - Meeting with Paul Hawkins, Area Manager Sustrans, to talk about options and possibilities of a cycling route between Crediton and Exeter.
Please join us and/or make your comments.
Other parts of Devon are active for their cycle routes and DCC money is limited.

I am the cycling officer for Vision Group Sidmouth, a member of the Otter Trail group, and a Sustrans Volunteer. Most interested in your Exeter to Crediton Boniface Trail Group. We are attempting to get the disused railway line between ~Feniton, Ottery and Sidmouth converted into a cycle/walk trail. We would like to make contact with you, especially to exchange ideas about finance.
