I'm going to try and sort out an evening ride in early May seeing as the evenings are getting longer

and if any one is around I'm probably taking the family up for the Paignton Bike weekend. Becs has family living in and around Paington so making use of the place to stay and I can check the bikes while Becs goes shopping!!

The whole weekend is meant to be good so see you there Badger!!!

Yes it is. As stated in the original post for this ride out :
"It will be a long one at around 230miles and a riding time of around 6 hours."
If you do pull out it will be a shame, however the time/distance has never changed....!

Hmm, for some reason half way through the thread i thought it was a shorter route ? I might take a look at the route and see if i can tag along for a hundred miles or so, but i wont be doing 230 miles - its too far to be enjoyable !

sorry you feel this way but i did put on the very first post it was a long one. we're doing it cos it's an awsome route. i will prob post up some shorter ones nearer the summer as will others i expect.
