You could try a bikini, helmet and gloves if the weathers nice

Anyone traveling from yeovil?

However, given the current forecasts, a wetsuit may prove more appropriate

So its that time again RTTB and everyones watchin the weather will be good to catch up with everyone see ya there come rain or shine

As my shifts have changed at work i will not be able to make it which is a shame as i have missed this ride each year lol

reckon I'll just go up the A38 a bit and come across on the St. Wenn road, that still comes out onto Goss Moor, just the other end!

going by the state of the road it should be ok by sunday aslong as they don't do anymore!! the newquay airport part of that road is now fine just needs some new whites (a few corners are still a lil twitchy) and the main stretch is fine until the sharp bend after the bridge but that should be cleared up again before sunday aswell I was thinking will meet you guys at Penzance but im Night 3 of 4 that day so ill probably be dead to the world by 8am

I've got two options in mind, depends on arrival time to St. Austell. I everyone arrives by 5 ish and we can be away by 5.20/25 then it'll be direct to Truro, across the top to A30, off at Avers roundabout ( Redruth) take Portreath to Hayle coast road, skirt St.Ives, to st.Just then across the top to Lands End. Does some of the windy coast road but is reasonably timed. If the weather is iffy and we leave St. Austell 5.30 or later, then it'll be Truro to A30 as before, but then take A30 all the way to Lands end, not so twisty until Penzance outskirts but definitely quicker!

Still can only get vague weather report but should get more detailed in next couple of days, looking like could be sunshine and showers for Cornwall though?

Neither of those routes goes anywhere near the previously mentioned Goss Moor?

the Cornish end of this run is always a mystery tour moose, let him have his secrets

Enjoy the ride out peeps, sadly gonna give it a miss, Ninja is still a little smokey due to leaking a small amount directly onto the exhaust on the last ride out and the GSXR isn't tested or comfy for the trek (466 miles last year) but mainly I'm moving house at the end of the month and really should start packing......
Hope it's dry for you guys and will be in Cornwall next month for a holiday so will try and enjoy the roads and maybe say hi to peeps.
Ride safe

Let's hope it satys dry !!

Just a heads up as I know we've come back that way before but the Helston - Falmouth road has been surface dressed this week at Retanna.

I've not been that way but I've had a couple of people mention plus a windscreen claim already!

That's because Goss Moor is on the Penzance to Victoria return leg, not the St. Austell to Lands End run. ;)

I have no secrets.....just many mysteries...........


Here's a link for return leg:
