South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Got an urge to do my favourite roads and places of north Devon... and there seems to be convergence of signs pointing to this Friday as the day to do that. The season is coming to an end so most of the tourist have buggered off home, and the weather looks very good for Friday.

I'll be leaving Chard around 10:00 but could meet others at Bampton or maybe Wellington.
Initially winding my way up/over to Lynmouth for lunch.
Then onwards through Combe Martin and Ilfracombe and then down to Barnstaple (coffee/fuel stop)... and then on to South Molton and down to Crediton, finally up the lovely A3072 to finish at Tiverton McD's.

Gonna be a long ride on some great roads.
Not suitable for small bikes, pace will be brisk but I'm no Barry Sheene (that's how old I am).

Will post route up tomorrow if there's any interest, either-way I'm going... unless a delivery I waiting for on Thursday doesn't arrive, in which case I'll do this Saturday instead.

Could well be up for this, Rich, depending on whether I'm needed in work. Not done any extra for a week or so as it's quiet at the moment so if I'm free I'll meet you somewhere up the M5 corridor.

working

This is highly likely to be moved back to Saturday now as I've had no confirmation of 'out for delivery' so it's not likely to be today... but it's also possible that it's not even gonna happen Friday either.
Hopefully the tracking info will be updated soon so I'll be able to plan when to go out...

Fine mate, just let me know ASAP. I can't do Saturday and if it's not on tomorrow I've got a MTB ride I can do

Yeh, sorry about this but still no update on the tracking page so I think it'll be a Friday delivery now, so I've moved this ride back a day to Saturday.

Would love to go but moving horse on saturday.... reschedule the run... again... there are still loads of grockles about lol!!!

Nah.. I need my fix, it's been almost 3 weeks since I was last out!
Won't be the last ride this year, unless October is rainy...

207 mile round trip - 5 hours riding.

OMG now that's a route.
Cant make it tomorrow unfortunately as would have loved to have ridden this one

I am actually going to download the above image and nic it for a further ride out as this looks one hell of a route and many roads that i have either not ridden or only ridden a few time.

Hope you have a lot of fun. Enjoy

Last minute permission as the goddess Trudie is coming over to be with Jane for the day. I can come out to play Richard - pm sent pal.

See you tomorrow.

What time and where can I meet you guys ,if you dont mind me tagging along. Coming from Seaton. It's short notice so as I don't have a contact number if I'm not there on time I can't come.

The old toll house in Chard which is here..

or if your early and need to fill up then Tesco filling station in Chard as that will be my first stop.

Room for one more?
...what time and where to meet at Wellington?
I'll be coming down the M5 from Weston Super Mud
