Being a newb... Been reminded that the A39 on a weekend in the summer isn't maybe the best road?

Having ridden it a bit, got to agree...

We have loads of time, all route suggestions welcome, it's about everyone having a grin on there face, suggestions?

I was thinking meet around Taunton.... Longest day of the year! Plenty of stops, smoke, coffee, pasty etc...

Cheers

Cheddar Gorge is busy on Sundays but is still fun once you get up past the cave carparks. A39 up out of Wells is a blast, then turn left onto the B3134 then across the top of the Mendips. B3141 Woolavington to East Huntspill is flowing. A372 from Langport towards Bridgwater includes the famous Seven Bends stretch. from there you could go up the A361 to join the A39, turn off at The Pipers and go along Cockrod, over the crossroads and onto Reynalds Way to join the B3153.

The Truckers café at Ashcott on A39 does a great fryup as does the café at Pawlett on the A38.

If thers others going from this neck of the woods then would be up fot this

Burrington Combe is similar(not quite on the same scale though) to Cheddar Gorge but not so touristy. Maybe up one and down the other?
The Castle of Comfort was biker friendly last time I tried it and has a large car park and beer garden https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Castle ... +&t=m&z=14" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you go over towards Shepton Mallet the Wagon and Horses holds a bike night so is biker friendly has a decent beer garden etc. https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=wagon+ ... 7&t=m&z=16" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Chew Valley lake has a large car park and café https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Chew+V ... 0&t=m&z=16" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi Guys

I'll be up for it, depending on time of start and if any local guys are popping along


Cheers Jimbo

I'd be up for this ride, the more the merrier right?

Hi,Would like to come on this ride. Just bought an old Bandit 600 and got my mod 2 on Friday. Would it be alright for a newbie to join in on this ride out?
Cheers

More than welcome, if you look at what a friendly ride entails then it's perfect for a newbie. All junctions marked, experienced outsiders and you'll be looked after by those that are there.

Brilliant thanks. I'm looking forward to it.

Hi.... It's a friendly so all bikes and abilities are welcome, just a chance to meet up with folks and have a hoon...

Everyone welcome...
