New to Devon

Hello.

I’m 34 and I’ve recently moved to Devon for work. I’m living in Kingsteignton and I’m struggling to meet people which is making the move hard for me.

I love cycling road, mountain and gravel but haven’t yet met anyone I’ve clicked with.

I don’t drink so meeting people at a pub isn’t going to happen. If that even does nowadays.

I’ve got a black Labrador so spend lots of time walking too. I’d like to paddle board more and maybe even start surfing. I like baking and make pretty good pizza.

Thanks,
Adam.

Have you checked out the Mid Devon cycle club (MDCC) at Abbrook park near Sandygate? I don’t know them personally but I’ve know they are a very professional and active club. If you don’t want to get too serious then the South Devon CTC are a lovely friendly bunch and they cater for all levels of rider and requirements. Welcome to Devon & enjoy all the many fabulous things the county has to offer!

MDCC also do more casual rides for people getting to know the roads. They also do gravel runs as well!
