Well done with that pic' Mr Teckie. Just one criticism, why did you edit out my six-pack? :)): And a belated thanks for organising Sunday's 'Lane's of Exmoor Extravaganza', following cows for miles has never been so much fun! The rest of the ride was fun too, thoroughly enjoyed it - 'till the next n...

Not for me, I'll probably wonder over for Seaton bike night again.

Giving Seaton a miss this week in anticipation of the rideout I hope you're organising for Sunday🏍🤔. OOps, note to self - 'Make sure to check the date of the post you're replying too!' :roll: . Nice to see two of the usual suspects (and our Simon) last night. Hope you all got home safe and dry 'cos...

Okay, count me in Brian. Don't forget that all coffee and cake stops must meet SWB's high levels of expected standards - (thinks, why don't we compile a list of cafes recommended for our rideouts?)

I'll see how the folding stuff lies for this. Possibly discuss further over a coffee at Seaton Bike night tonight? https://www.southwestbikers.com/viewtopic.php?t=102684

After asking the question at the Bluebell Café (thanks Brian) at the end of our Blackdown Bimble rideout last Sunday, I can confirm that their bike meets are from 5.00 p.m. to 8.00-ish p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month - next one Tuesday 14th July.

Photo's and vid's or it never happened .

Ptolemyx Brian, Arty Arthur and Banjo Dave - thanks for the company and the laughs on Sunday's ride around the hills - roads less travelled eh?
Agreed Brian, the Tramstop café in Colyton was a very pleasant stop, glad it met your stringent standards .
See you all on the next one.

That was a thought I had too, 'cept it's 10 miles away. My best guess is that it's the Lyndale cafe in the big car park off the A39 in Lynmouth. We've stopped there a few times in the past.

Got to be said I think that cafe was a bit of a find and clearly very biker friendly as we were made to feel very welcome. Must try that again a great stop if you’re planning a trip to Lynmouth.

In Lynmouth? Near Lynmouth? Do tell.

Phil, good old Google Maps screws up your route, how many miles is it, can you post a screenshot of the actual route? Thanks PS.... not sure I can make it but thought I'd ask for others :( Andy W - that's some weird route you got there (posted above), bears no resemblance to my route. To confirm: 1...

Right folks, nice sunny weather promised so who's up for a ride around the Blackdown Hills? 09.45 hrs-ish: Meet at the Shell filling station just off the M5 junction 27 - EX16 7HD. 10.00 hrs PROMPT: Depart - please be fueled up ready. Brekky/snack stop: Tramstop Cafe in Colyton. Finish: Bluebell Caf...

Sounds fun Rob but just a tad too early for me to haul my old bones outa bed . Have fun though 🏍.
I might organise a Sunday rideout instead, at a time more suited to us of a more delicate (and possibly aged) persuasion.

Nice to meet you Bob, and the Guzzi of course. Quite a nice even spread of bikes there tonight I thought, along with the more modern stuff there were three oldies I've not seen since the old King died i.e. a Sunbeam S7, an AJS twin - either a G9 (500 cc) or G11 (650 cc) and an Ariel Colt - a pretty ...
