[Cancelled] Saturday 12th May - Bimble to Bristol (Fowlers)

[Jug]

I'm meeting a couple of mates coming up from south Devon and taking a scenic bimble up through Langport, Wells, Cheddar Gorge and then on to Fowlers for a bite in their cafe (and a lust after all the new shiny things they have).
We'll likely take in a coast on the way back down country.

Main meet will be 9:30 at Ilminster if anyone wants to come along.
Pace will mostly be leisurely, defo noob friendly but likely not suitable for 125's.


... unless it rains.....

have a good time and watch out for the crazy Bristol drivers.

[Jug]

Nah, I'm more worried about the KTM salesmen... last time I went to a dealer "just for a test ride" I ended up buying it.
This time is just going to be for a look and a sit, honestly...

[MellowYellow]

watch out for the crazy Bristol drivers.

I can be there and back home in 10 mins.

Yeah, scary thing is you only live 2 minutes away from it.

[Pebble]

What time you passing through Cheddar Gorge?

[Jug]

Not sure yet, will confirm once the rough route has taken shape... but I'd imagine it'd be 10.30-11.00'ish

[MikeZ]

Let us know when you're at or near fowlups and I'll drop down to say hello. Will be 1st time i get to meet someone off here.
Cheers Mike

Will do, although I am watching the weather report closely... any hint of rain anywhere in the UK and I'll likely pull out, or so they'd have you believe on here... but it is true...

Ive got a couple hour pass! Can i tag along from Langport?
Might be on the 595 as old boy needs a run,if not jump on the Xr.
I will need to leave you at Cheddar and head back Shepton Mallet direction.
Fozz.
If you can give me a n ETA for Langport or i can pm my mobile to you?

[Jug]

Will do.
I'm gonna be on my 650 V-strom as it's not likely to be a fast ride.

[Ducaki]

Rich. Might go to Moto Corsa tomorrow (Friday) if you fancy it?

[Jug]

I would have liked to go Nige but I can't tomorrow as I've got a delivery coming and no idea what time.
Typically it arrives midday or afternoon.

[Jug]

Sorry guys, I've gone and done the unthinkable... I've taken a perfectly serviceable bike and disabled it.

Had a very slow leak on the rear tyre, bit of investigation and found it leaking at one small section on the rim. I had a quick play with some tyre levers to try any encourage it to seal.... but instead I now have a much bigger leak against the rim...

I might have another go later on tonight but likely will leave it until tomorrow now.

[Fozz]

Oh bugger!,
The weather not looking great either.
