Thanks to Art and Dave for tagging along today, great company chaps, thanks. Mostly clutter free roads were had, the only traffic to speak of was a bit between Launceston and Kelly Bray and Gunnislake to Tavistock, other than that they were clear enough to let us see and mostly avoid the potholes - and there were a few shockers :shock: !
Loui's cafe was absolutely rammed with bikes when we got there, probably the most I've seen. The cafe's new (to me) ordering/service system worked well and we weren't waiting more than a few short minutes for our bacon and egg banjos.

Deferably - the car park's now enlarged and fully tarmac'd and they've streamlined the outdoor service system - they issue you an electronic pager thingy that sounds off to show the waitress where you're sat.
I noticed that just up the road the Engine House cafe had quite a few bikes too.

Glad you had another good ride folks :-bd Might have made it if I'd seen the post earlier than Monday morning :roll:
I'm now off to the Peaks for a few days. Riding up today via East Wales and the Marches, only motorway is up to the bridge - have waterproofs packed :mrgreen:
