Putting this out again.

Not sure if anyone is interested but me and a friend are doing a little ride out to minehead if any 125ers wanted to tag on for a little experience of riding out of the town? Plan is to meet at mac Donald’s In Bridgwater at around times to be confirmed but probably around 1700/1800ish Wednesday 31st and then ride up through bishops lydiard up through Raleigh’s cross down to weddons cross into the back of dunster and then down the other side into the back of minehead near where the boats are and then just follow the main road back into Bridgwater. Probably stop at Raleigh’s for a pint of coffee. Open invite we will hang on for about 15/20 mins ish to see if anyone tags on if not the routes above is what we’re doing So tag on at any point probably be sat at Raleigh’s for an hour ish I ride an old cbr600f3 pretty much a shed on wheels in red and my mate is on a versey650 any other bikes want to tag on feel free we’re plodders not speeders so literally just cruising around however ride how you feel comfortable just ride safe that’s all we ask, and if your lucky you might get to see me brake down again

Delete????? Your kidding right… exactly the type of post we encourage and want to promote. Let’s see if we can get some people to join you.

Thanks man. Just to confirm the time is dead set for 1800 and we will be aiming to leave about 18.15. Will be nice if some turn up if not we will continue on our own, the route is above so if any want to make their own way then that’s welcome. Hopefully get the camera working and will try to record the route so those that don’t make it can see what it’s like

My ktm is being a ktm so not going anywhere atm. Will be interested in seeing this route.

Good luck.

That is pretty bang on, lovely little ride. Eventually I want to stretch it out and head over wedons cross into Simons bath and then come into the back end of minehead. I love driving all those roads so itching to get the rides going there

Yup, us . . . ahem . . . . established SWB-ers - a.k.a. 'The Grey Ones' or 'The usual suspects' have this area and most of the rest of Devon as our Happy Hunting Grounds so know it well. Unfortunately I can't make this one but well done for getting a rideout going and I hope you have great time on it.

If anyone is wanting to join, try and be at the Bridgwater McDonald’s for 1800 fulled up and ready

If you carry on from Raleighs cross onto morebath onto Bampton then on down to black cat, turn right at the junction and head up to Dunster, you'll find 20 miles of beautiful scenery and superb twisty roads, the tarmac can be a bit bumpy and there's a few patches of gravel to watch out for but it's a great road, from dunster head back on the main road, til you get to the tropiquaria, then head back up the hill to Raleighs cross, then head back from there to Bishops Lydeard, up over the quantocks to home

Caveman myself and a few work colleagues are off for a little bimble across to Westbay on Saturday if you and your mates are interested leaving Budgens/Shell garage at 9.30 they are old farts on z1000's one of them has just passed his test, im on a 796 motard so we wont be honking along, not sure on the route im just tagging along, i'd imagine it would be westonzoyland,aller (7 bends ) othery,langport,yeovil,dorchester,weymouth,abbotsbury then back past lyme regis, chard,ilminster,creech st michael,home or it could be vice versa

Thanks for the offer mate. I am unfortunately cutting down a tree. However I’ll pass the info on to my mate who will probably be interested he rides a verseys 650, also any other future rides please keep me informed if I’m available I’ll definitely tag on, haven’t riden those roads yet. Driven them a million times just never on a bike
