Unfortunately I'm busy all week :( or would have been up for this, 'specially as it's a nice close pick up :D .
Have fun but watch the potholes from Tivvy to Cully, also approaching Hemyock and . . .. well, just about everywhere else really!

I'm able to come out it seems so would be happy to join you tomorrow.

Is there any need to meet in Honiton?
I'm thinking it might be better for both of us to meet at Wellington instead.

Just moi and Richard the Jug enjoyed the fine weather on our great roads. Not too much traffic getting in the way. Should have checked opening times for Gemmas at Waytown - they close Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We stopped for a super sausage sarnie and coffee at Zest in SMolton. Recommended.

Sorry no pic's - too busy enjoying the ride. Roll on Phil's Sunday jaunt when you workers can join in the spirit of the fun :-bd

Was great fun, many thanks Brian.

Got airborne a couple of times and a 2 wheel drift on one wet clay covered bend.. but none of those things were a real issue, just fun.
I definitely want to do ski jump road again soon. :)):

The Fords weren't a issue but one VW monster nearly was as they wanted the whole road. :shock:

B3358, Simonsbath to A399 via Challacombe. A couple of "whoop-de-whoops" when ridden briskly. Must stop at the Black Venus next time we ride it.
