I went up to Minions to watch the cyclists ride along this moorland road.
GWRteam.
A clear crisp sunny moorland winters day, welcomed the cyclists.
The Taste of the Tor is the precursor to the main event in April.
The cyclists left the Dragon Sports Centre in Bodmin at 10am.
Some could take a shorter route to Looe via Dobwalls.
The longer route over Bodmin Moor goes via Minions and Upton Cross and then to Looe.
From Looe it is back to Bodmin via Pelynt and East Taphouse.
There are three routes of differing lengths planned for the Cornwall Tor.
The Wiggle Cornwall Tor 2011 is planned for 10th April 2011, you can read more about the tor here.
