June 21st - Ride Out - Friendly Ride - Exeter meeting point

[ddubya]

Hi. For those going from Exeter, I'm starting a thread (I think)!

Meet at Exeter Motorway Services, behind the garage, from 0900 to leave at 0915.
If we go up the M5 (boring, I know ), we should get to Taunton Sainsburys at around 0945

Close

if you park opposite the garage, at the top on the main carpark, people can see you when they one off the roundabout and enter the Services.

Also, If it turns out there are any L plated riders (on friendlies this is not uncommon) then an alternative route will be needed that doesn't involve motorway.

Thanks for doing this though.

Billinom8s, thank you for your comments.

I apologise, unreservedly, for forgetting that people may not be able to go on the motorway!
If anyone cannot ride on motorway, please let me know and we can meet/travel another route (A30, takes around 50 mins).

All the best.

[billinom8s]

No worries.

At least you have done it

[Lizzie]

Hello 'Thread' I'm happy to ride up either route. See u at 0900. Lizzie

All the best.

Err, A30 or A38?

A38 follows (broadly) the M5 north, whereas the A30 takes you east, past Honiton (though admittedly if you go out past Newcott you can turn left and get to Taunton via Corfe .... )

Hey Moose. What's in a number?
You're right, of course, the 38 will be easier!

I'm up for meeting to ride to Taunton too but my son is coming along on his 125 so would have to take alternative route

[ddubya]

Hey Banditman, no problem. We'll go up the A38. Got to pick up Kawasakiracer at Willand

Will sort out final route/times nearer the date, when we know if more are travelling up.
