Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

Robbo's Rural Rideout - Sunday 16th August 2015. RIDE CONFIR

Post by Robbo87 »

Okay, ride out confirmed for the 16th August so here's an update to the original post; please note that the updates are in bold.

[quote="Robbo87"]

Hello all,

................... .I've put together a minor-A-road and B-road-based rideout taking in parts of Northwest Somerset and Northeast and mid-Devon. It'll be of around 135 miles or 165 miles (decided on the day) , some 'B' roads, but mostly 'minor A' roads, guaranteeing traffic-free(mostly) open roads and some great Devon & Somerset scenery.

Here's the confirmed details:
DATE - SUNDAY 16TH AUGUST
Start - Taunton 1000 hrs.
Start area - SAINSBURYS car park, Hankridge Farm, Hankridge Way, TAUNTON TA1 2LR. Please aim to arrive there by 0945 hrs latest.
Finish - Exeter M5 Services, top car park - time, whenever.
No limit on the number of bikes.
It's to be a 'semi-spirited' ride so bikes 400cc and above - sorry you superkeen 125cc-ers! If this one works I'd like to do a 'Friendly' later in the year to make up.
Pillions welcome but please bear in mind the above criteria.
We'll use the 'drop off' system.
First re-group point - approx' 22 miles in. There will be others, tba on the day.
We'll be stopping for a snack (& cake Mr nom8s!) @ approx' 75 miles in.
Fuel @ approx' 90 miles, or as required
Final re-group - Approx' 118 miles (short route) or 150 miles (long route).

1. To gauge interest, please add your name below if you're up for this.
2. I'll have copies of the route on the day for those who want them.

Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Very sorry all. I am afraid I am going to need to pull out of this ride due to family issues.

Catch you all next time and enjoy the ride and the sun shine.

Right, weather's looking good, and so for a change is the Fut; it's all system's go for tomorrow so looking forward to seeing you all, and a good rideout to follow.
I'll be at Hankridge Taunton Sainsburys by 0930 hrs and will have maps and a summary of the route(s) for those that want 'em.
For info' - 1. first fuel stop is approx' 90 miles in, but there'll be plenty others as needed. 2. No need to stuff a massive brekky before kick-off, just enough to last the first 70-odd miles, as that's when we're eating.
