Count me in Phil. See you at 0845.

Sorry chaps. Saturday is pre-booked. I'll be out with Rik Sunday then it's Hols in Pembs so I'll probably not see you before Sunday 28th.

Sorry can't make this as working. Enjoy!

Sorry Phill, didn't see this in time or would have been there hope you had a good one

Been reminded by Oberleutnant Nom8s that I haven't written up this rideout yet; so here 'tis:

Route: Similar to what was planned (above), but only similar...... Honiton, coffee at Steamers Café Cullompton (highly recommended btw - a petrolheads paradise), Tivvy, Rackenford, north via the Sidemoor Diner and Roachill to the Nth Devon TT, Bampton, Haddon Hill, Cotford St Luke, West Buckland, Smeatharpe, Honiton and finish @ Chez Robbo87's for coffee and being spoiled by Mrs Robbo87 with prawn salads etc.
Weather: effin superb .
Roads: Dry, empty, and also effin superb
Miles: I clocked 131, Roy probably around 160 by the time he got home.

Thanks to Roy for turning up, for TEC duties and for plenty of laughs .

What a great ride - sweeping curves and hardly any traffic; North Devon, (perhaps a bit of Somerset) has some fine roads for bikers. The weather couldn't have been better.
Super day and my thanks to Jenny for the unexpected and welcome nourishment.

Thanks Phil for the fun day.
