The weather's could be a tad unsettled for Sunday chaps.
I'm getting conflicting info' from the online forecasters; depending on who you ask, it varies from deffo some light rain to only a 10% chance of it.
I'm keeping carefull tabs on it all and will make the call later tonight (Saturday) or early a.m. on Sunday so keep checking in.

Sorry to hear Roy-hope all is as well as ‘checking into a cardiac ward’ can be. Cheers all for a top ‘part 1’ ride and thanks again Phil for organising and leading.

All the best, Ryan

Enjoyed the Triumph's shakedown run around the Blackdown and Brendon hills today. Left Welly Shell station at 0830 hrs, quick stop at Haddon Hill, back at Welly for 1050 hrs, 93 miles total.
Five others defied the weather-worriers predictions. We only hit a bit of drizzle at the top of the Brendons, and of course we saw only a bit of local traffic, cos I volountary don't do traffic on a rideout :D.
Thanks to Brian, Chris, Mark, Ryan and Dave for the company :-bd.

Keep riding.
You'd have liked this one Roy, there was just enough drizzle halfway around to save you dipping into your home-brewed, bar-mounted visor cleaner tub :).
Hope you're feeling better soon mate, keep taking the capsules - as one Astronaut said to another :)):.
