Hope everyone had a great day, with no incidents after I left at Torrington 
I went home via Hatherleigh, Okehampton, Moreton, all safe and sound and not too many other cars about 
Got my little jobs done, walked the dog from Smugglers Cove to the point and back (with an ice-cream along the way
) and now knackered after sturring down a nice roast tea
Thanks Si for the effort you put in to make it happen - I saw lots of smiley faces out there
Oh and if just one more person comments on the volume of my bike .........

Fantastic day! I really enjoyed the run and it's been nice to put some faces to the names on here!
Thanks for organising it Si and to all those who helped out junction marking - you all made it a great day.
p.s. I am also intrigued as to how the discussion with the police went on that roundabout! Do tell!!!

What a great day, really enjoyed it today. Thanks for organising such a good route and marshalling. Couldn't have picked a better day weather wise, ideal for first run of the season. Thanks also for making us newbies to the group feel welcome, I will definitely be attending more events as and when I can.
Hope to see you all again soon.
Oh and thanks to Jon for letting me hook up this morning at Ilminster, only knew about the ride-out as he had posted it on facebook...so again, thanks for the heads-up.

I refuse to enter into a battle of wits against someone who is unarmed.
It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Thanks for the great day out guys. I was very impressed with the organisation, which made it that much easier to enjoy the day without worrying about directions. I get lost pretty easy! Hope to see you guys again soon for another bimble.
