Personally it doesn't worry me.

However, on this ride we have motorcyclists of all abilities riding all kinds of bikes. Some may have pillions, some may have bikes unable to make the gradient and some might just prefer to take the route with great views.

I'll top up fuel in the services, the Shell station just off the motorway junction as I don't think the supermarket fuel stations in Tiverton open until 10am. Bloomin hick town!

We have to be at mcdonalds for 10am at tiverton, so shall we meet up at, say 8.45 at sainsburys taunton, should'nt take long to get to tiverton, then we can have a breaky. Or do you think thats to early ?
Also sainsburys taunton fuel station will be open.
Your thoughts please Dan

Fear not outsider the Tesco has 24hr pumps now and is a wee bit further on from Mc D's. Instead of left into Maccys go straight on then 3rd exit @ the next roundabout and the next right on that road. :o)
