Was a great day for a well worthy cause. here's some photos of our little day out:

All parked up and ready (look at that sexy black R6)

Obviously two un-desirables conspiring to 'do a wrong-un'

All parked up at the place where the helicopter is kept (that is the proper technical term i'll have you know)

Simon finds a freind who ate his meat

Moose on his third burger of the day...

Gavin communicating with someone of his own age (Mini-Moose)

What it was all in aid of.

Overall probably close to 300+ bikes turned up so mucho money for a worthy cause that all too often comes to our rescue.

It was said that over 260 bikes left Exeter, Was impressive anyway, and a good ride, fantastic route, only the long wait for a coffee at the end spoilt it slightly, Maybe they'll cater for more net time, doubt that they realy epected so many. Great day none the less.
Nice to see Kelly and Gavin, and to briefly meet Paul for the first time.
Saw Moose too. well done folks

Great day out - and for a first time event the marshalling etc., was excellent

Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello mark

Jamie said it was nice to meet everyone, especially the two ladies and the tall geeky one ....... I don't know if that implies he thinks you're a laaadiiiiie funky, or just the geek we all know and love

Special thanks go to Kim for the T Shirt

Whilst doing the raffle the chap said they had 354 bikes register

The guy in the Blue/Black/White leathers in Funky's second pic, (sorry don't know your name) Are you the one that took the car keys with you? If so how deep were you in it !!!!

Wow, what a fast ride!

350 bikes off all types on the same road leaving within 10-20mins of each other = a very very slow ride. Doesnt help that atleast 10-20miles was through single lane country lanes. It was well marshalled though, impossible to get lost.

Then we got there....in a big uncut field.... with only a raffle, burger van and ice cream van, waited a good hour for the burger van (nice burger tho)

Wasnt a bad day tho, just need a better route and better grouping.
