Looks like you all had really nice weather for the ride, the air seemed a little chilly but it was warm in the sun.
I was a little jealous as I could hear all the bikes out riding around... but I had made the decision to leave mine in their tent until after the next ice age passes, otherwise I'd have been there with you.

I'll be dragging my SD out soon and I'd like to go explore Cheddar Gorge, I'll post up a ride nearer the time, assuming there has be the statutory 3 week draught beforehand. :)):

Plenty of half decent roads within spitting distance (B3135 Gorge, B3134 Burrington Combe and A368 around Chew Valley) all link up easily and plenty of pitstops. That'll keep you going for nearly an hour :)):

A couple of nice 'drag strips' over the top as well.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Last time I rode through Cheddar gorge the road surface was grooved like someone had dragged a chain harrow down it which produced that odd squirrelly, white-lining sensation in the bends. Didn't stop my mate sparking hos knee sliders but it did feel odd. I'm sure they do it on purpose to slow bikers down.

Cobweb ride has already happened Paul.
The East of Devon run & the Cheddar Gorge ones are yet to be arranged.
