Roy (royb), Nick(Red5), Mark (Bunny67): If you're eating and drinking at Loui's I must have your BREKKIE requirements by 1300 hrs on Saturday 31st - for the menu, see my post on page 3 of this topic. Roy, you only typed BREKKIE + tea on the rider's list, I need to know WHAT brekkie

Everyone else; If you have BREKKIE against your name then I have those details, also your drinks orders, thanks for prompt replies .

[Red5]

Red 5 +Jolie. Brekkie and Brekkie. 2nd Brekkie tbc but figured one unsure won't make a huge difference.

[Red5]

Don't mind playing Tech on this one, if you'd prefer to play Brian, as you tech'd on Robs ride out last week end

[Robbo87]

Red 5 +Jolie. Brekkie and Brekkie. 2nd Brekkie tbc but figured one unsure won't make a huge difference.

It will, and so will not ordering your drinks in advance too . Pls read the menu on page 3 of this topic and let me know soonest or you could be in for a long wait if there's the usual load of bikers there which is why I've arranged this pre-order brekkie & drinks list - quick now, I'm phoning Loui's through with the full list just after 1300 hrs.

Roy - ta for (finaly) letting me know .

[Bunny67]

Anyone else want to join the SWB posse?

The weather's looking decent and we should have a good day . Here's a some info' to help it along smoothly:

(a) Assemble and depart FULLY FUELLED from the top of the main car park at M5 services Exeter at 0800 HRS SHARP

(b) A precis' of the route is: Exeter services - Launceston - Loui's @ Kit Hill (Callington) - Launceston - Red Post - Holsworthy - Torrington (wizz break for Brian - coffee break for every one else ) - Sth Molton - Morrisons @ Tiverton (full route in the SWB Subscribers section). Approx' 160 miles.

(c) Loui's brekkie stop: I will print out and give everyone a copy of their pre-ordered food & drinks requirement before we set off. When we get to Loui's, hand these slips to the cashier, pay up, and wait for your grub - simples !

(d) I will be using the 2nd man drop-off system, and we will need to stick to this rigidly folks otherwise mayhem ensues!
Here's the system as posted by our very own G L, Herr Nom8s:
'Junction Markers/Tail End Charlie TEC.
Marking junctions helps keep everyone going in the same direction, we use the drop off system on our runs.
The ride leader will indicate where he wants the following rider to stop so that everyone else knows where to turn.
That rider will then stay there until the TEC passes and then join back in with the group. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . The TEC will stay at the back of the line for the duration of the rideout . . . . . . . . ..'

(e) As leader on the day and to keep everyone together, I will (a) keep the following two rider in my mirrors at all times (hopefully), and (b) re-group as neccessary by slowing or stopping until everyone + the TEC is in sight.

(f) Pace: I'll be aiming to make progress, but being conscious that (unlike at least three of us) not everyone has been biking since the dawn of time, so I'll be riding accordingly - not al la Reginald Molehusband , but not like Rossi etc. either !

(g) Filling stations: Let me know on the day where you need to refuel (distances from M5 services Exeter):
1. 76 miles @ Plusha (A30)
2. 85 miles @ Launceston
3. 98 miles @ Jewels X services near Red Post (closes at 1300 hrs)
4. 120 miles @ Torrington
5. 135 miles @ Sth Molton
6. 160 miles @ Morrisons Tivvy.

Think that's about it I think. See you all tomorrow!
