Is that what they call a ' hail Mary ' ?
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Well if you insist on living in Teignmouth, what do you expect? You could have headed east and joined us, we almost had sun!

For us twas a good rideout, roads were damp-ish but the rain stayed off until around 1.00 pm; but by then we'd been on the outside of a big fat brekkie in Winkleigh by an hour or so, so didn''t care - met a few proper bikers there too, it was good to know we're not alone in being able to ride to the conditions. Got home safe and sound - (o.k. and a tad damp during the last 45 min's, but what the hell, it's only water) - around 1.30 pm.

Thanks once again to Roy B and his faithful 1200 Bandit for the company. Hope you remembered some of those roads Roy, it's your turn to plan and lead one next time!

Good ride Phil, made quick progress and got rid of that desire for a ride until of course, the next time. Had to go today.

Plenty of rain on the way back, but it's amazing how quick you can go in the wet, just riding to the conditions, smoothly and with lack of traffic--plus a ride leader who knows where they are going.

Great fun; I'm glad I joined the South West Bikers.
