Hi All

I am kicking off the year with a ride out that's a bit different and trying some roads that i would not normally string together. Some of this i have not done before and so might just get a bit lost along the way bit that's the fun of it all. From what I can work out this looks to be a cracking route.

Unlike many of our rides going to share the full route up front. Follow this link to see the route.

As you will see from the link the starting point is Tesco's Newton Abbot (which is handy as its a great fuel fill up)
Starting the ride at 1pm and doing the round robin ride and finishing either back in Teignmouth (or waving good bye to people as we pass Exeter)

Looks like its going to be fantastic weather on Sunday for a February day so well worth getting out.

Sorry Rob:-
I can't make arrangements to come out to play with you tomorrow as I've only just seen your post today, Saturday. I need more than a day notice.
Also I'll be recovering from todays ride out with Nick.

have a good 'un.

hopefully can make this. I have a few jobs in the morning so later start works. Probably meet on route if your heading Exeter way.

I'm in mate.

Just for completeness I have also been contacted by Jimbo and Red5 who will also join the ride.

Bit late in the day for me, may take a trip to the baffle haus for breakfast.

I might join this one, me and a buddy of mine were going to go for a jolly on Sunday anyway

I'm up for it, but will probably be playing catch up as the Duke is in hibernation, so I'll be on the latest tiddler in the Ming stable. All 28 horses will be unleashed for most of the day no doubt

I may may not tired from today's ride to West Bay but if not have fun

Ah sort count me out, have a toddler birthday party to deal with in the afternoon unfortunately… next one thou

Well what do you know we didn’t get lost, great weather and that was a cool route going to have to do that one again. Special thanks to Ming, Bilko, Rik, Busa Bro for joining me on the ride hope you also enjoyed it.

Well done to Ming on that Honda 300 that thing had quite a work out today and did really well.

Thanks again guys

Cheers Rob. That was a fantastic route (apart from the Taunton traffic but couldn't be helped if we needed to avoid motorways).
160 miles for me, bike was comfy enough and still had fuel left in it's 2 gallon tank. Yes, it does do 85mpg even when trying to stay with you lot. Heads up for anyone riding - the road through Bow from North Tawton to Copplestone is closed and the diversion is a bit muddy and narrow. Don't think Darren needed all that 200+ horsepower

Great fun guys certainly didnt need 200+ hp down that muddy lane not all that brown stuff was mud lol well ridden Andy

Nice little summary of our day out together
