Hey Guys see you all in the morning! I'll be joining you all at Launceston at stourscombe roundabout and guiding you to tintagel so please bare with me junction markers as first time leading!! :)

Depending on what time I get up in the morning I may join you guys at Exeter in the morning but still have an hour left of work so probably won't!

Many thanks to everyone involved for a brilliant day. Real pleasure to meet so many nice people, on beautiful bikes that sounded even better. My lungs are full of two smoke :-) 

Special thanks to Simon for organising such a good route, his gf for checkin in with me throughout the day to make sure I was enjoying myself. The junction markers for keeping me headed in the right direction, Ant for being our tec. Smiler for leading us from BOS to exeter and back again (also for waiting for me to catch up) and the guy on the Ducati that lives just up the end of my road in WSM. (apologies Iv forgotten your name) was great to follow someone with more experience who rides so well. 

I can't wait for the next chance to do another ride-out with everyone.

Thanks once again.
