I'm going to stay with family in Sherborne for about 10 days, and I was thinking about taking 5-6 days to bike around the countryside.
Can anyone give me some advice regarding riding on the roads in the UK, and staying in hostels? I'm 21, male, from Florida,USA, and I bike to class every day (7 miles) and I'm in pretty good overall shape. I'm not sure what kind of bike I'm going to have access to, but it should be at least decent. So far I was planning on maybe doing one of the big biking trails, like the West Country Way or something. I've never done anything like this so just overall general tips would be excellent. So far all I've thought of bringing was bike lights, spare tubes, good biking shorts, and a lock.
Also, if anyone has recommendations of stuff to do in that area that would be great too. I've been to England once before.
I was thinking about heading west towards the Dartmoor park.
