You are of course welcome along to any Southwestbikers rideout, however your bike must be in good mechanical order (we don’t want anything falling off of it including you), taxed and have a current MOT. You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have. Always ride within your own capabilities and do not put others at risk. Remember, while you are on a Southwestbikers rideout you are representing the site and what it stands for.
Thank-you.

Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

Cheers for the advice, Scotty - I'm planning on doing that on the way back 👍

I've got the route pretty much sorted now and it's about 230 miles. Assuming we leave as planned at 9am, coffee stop will be about 10.30am and lunch about 1pm ish. Just depends on traffic and how often I take the wrong turning. Should be back in Exeter before 5pm.

Meeting point for the start is Wickes car park on Eagle Way, Sowton Ind Est, Exeter. The services at J30 gets horrendously busy so this is just 200 yards past it, and we're heading off in that direction anyway.

I've done the route in MyRouteApp but not sure I can share it if you haven't got an account. Happy to make the route public so you can download it to your device.
Anyone wanting to join midway let me know where you're thinking and I'll give you a rough ETA, but don't want to be hanging around for ages as it's a long enough day as it is ☺️

Thinking of joining you around Dorchester. Give me a time and a pin drop on Google maps or can you WhatsApp me a gpx file?

Should be at Poppies Cafe, Bovington about 10.30am. Quick cuppa or a fried breakfast but that will restrict the lunch time stoppage
