You are of course welcome along to any Southwestbikers rideout, however your bike must be in good mechanical order (we don’t want anything falling off of it including you), taxed and have a current MOT. You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have. Always ride within your own capabilities and do not put others at risk. Remember, while you are on a Southwestbikers rideout you are representing the site and what it stands for.
Thank-you.

Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

Well, here's a few stretches that can be fun on pretty much any size of bike ......

B3193 Chudleigh - Dunsford (Teign Valley Road)
B3357 Tavistock - Ashburton (if you aren't too fussy about the blanket 40 on Dartmoor....)
A384 Buckfastleigh - Dartington
A382 Bovey Tracey - Whiddon Down
(Old) A30 Exeter - Tedburn - Whiddon Down - Okehampton
A386 Sourton Cross - Tavistock
A390 Tavistock - Gunnislake - Callington - Liskeard
A388 Callington - Launceston
B3254 Liskeard - Launceston
A39 pretty much all the way from Bridgwater to Indian Queens

Try this......

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Tr ... 6,0.441513" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


really want to get it in the RttB this year, but if not I will definately have it in the May SWB camping weekend Saturday Ride Out (ok, camping weekend yet to be organised :-s , but leave it with me, I'm hoping to sort it soon ;) ).

Or come a bit further South and play on this one, for best results enlarge the image............

Badger me old fruit, I think the memories going ........ we did the bit from the bottom of the Probus bypass throiugh Tresillian and into Truro this year ....... all that would be required is to turn right at the top of the bypass and up to the top of that section :wink:

Yeah, its more about if we have time, as towards Probus and onwards its very twisty and it may take us out of the way too much. Its the second part though, that is most FUN ;) ;)

Just giving this thread a little nudge now as the weather begins to improve and the clocks are due to go forward at the end of the month!

Why not share some of YOUR fav routes + roads with other SWBers? :)):

Anything Weston or further north I find a bit dull, unless you head over the bridge :wink:

Mendips, over towards Frome via the back roads, Mid Somerset Somerton Ilchester, or head into top of Dorset....you need to get a map out, pick some of the minor roads and explore
