I'll be out tomorrow, Saturday, what time might I meet you at Sourton?
What exactly is your route from there, is it old A30 right in to Exeter and through the city for the A377 through Newton St Cyres and on to Crediton?

On Sunday I'll be riding a well-trodden route from Exeter - possibly collecting a mate there on his Kwak ER-6. Then it's the back roads to Cowley, then Crediton, Copplestone, Winkleigh (coffee and and a wad), Whiddon Down. old A30, Exeter.

Hope you aren't going to be hanging about. It'll be a "summer" pace day for me :twisted:

O.k. SUNDAY: If you want to pick up with us we'll wait in the bus stop lay-by on the A377 (the main road from Exeter to Crediton) at Bernaville Nurseries, Cowley EX5 5EU. . . . . . . . . HERE: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Ber ... -3.5542371

We should be there around 11:00 a.m. Best get there earlier and wait for us if nccessary because the cafe I'm heading for in Winkleigh shuts at 1:00 p.m. and we won't have time to hang around waiting. After Winkleigh I've a bit of a mystery tour route lined up with another coffee break halfway along. Total mileage Exeter to Exeter (very) approx' 125 miles.

That was a nice one Darren :-bd
Pity that this old fart didn't end up with pics of the hyperbikes to prove that your gorgeous H2 actually gets ridden. Didn't know that it was so slow :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Pity you didn't make it today Darren, we'd have given that H2 a run for it's money and you'd have discovered two more watering holes. :mrgreen:
