Thanks for having me guys. I planned to stay a bit longer but I know the way from Copplestone so it just made sense to chip off then. It was a humbling experience, I didn't realise how bad my riding was until today! Have a good one.

It was a great day to be out and about. Enjoyed the empty roads and the route thoroughly. Especially loved the part when holiday traffic wasn’t on yet. To sum it up - Great day! Thanks 👍
Ape, I think that you were good and didn’t do mistakes or anything stupid to cause danger on the road. That’s what it’s all about. You are going to build your confidence gradually. And to do that all you have to do is keep on riding 👍 Hope to see you on the rides in the future 👌👍

Great morning guys, thanks all for coming.

And to repeat what the others are saying Ape, it's not abut playing catch up, we all ride our own ride and you did great. Awesome to meet you and have you along.
Also Jewel, great to meet you.
Glad the bike held together Si.

Really blew out the cobwebs.

Gus, you were asking about the route.
This is the google link minus the road closure at Okehampton or the fallen tree between South Molton and the A377 :D

See y'all soon...

That was a good one Nick. Scrubbed my new tyres in good and proper :twisted:

When we stopped, the whipround raised another £18.54 for the Devon Air Ambulance. We've already donated £188 since starting on 22nd May. Cheers guys :-bd :-bd

Nice to meet everyone. Sorry for the extra noise lol

Ape, don’t worry, you weren’t bad by any means, it’s about confidence and surviving on the road. You did absolutely fine.
I love Lamp.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'm not kicking myself for being a novice, I'll get there. Did anyone see me take off like Evil Kneivel on the way out of South Molton? Did not expect to see a speed bump there... =))
