Did this ride happen or is it happening as I type because I've not seen any sign of a route either via pm or on this thread or is it a secret squirrel job?
Or, worst case scenario, do I have to go through some kind of homosexual initiation ceremony to be allowed out on a ride?

I can take the pain if you can take the smell! :lol:

Was a good ride, less frequent wet patches than we all anticipated.

It was raining knee sliders however...

Very enjoyable 8) riding round in circles in mid-devon :lol: :lol:

Nice route, nice company, nice pace, some cr*ppy road surfaces :roll:

Should have come out to last week across Dartmoor, road surfaces were much worse.

Should have come along, a few damp bits of roads, lots of twisties, not many long straights, meant I could keep up. :D
