Massive thanks to everyone who came along today and made for a great day's riding.

Thanks to Rob for taking the role of TEC for the day.

12 of us had a good run through some great roads and countryside, bit of lunch... some twisties to finish the day.

Thanks Mark for leading us back to services, the Tintern road needs some more play time i think.

Nice to meet the guys from Bristol... thanks for Joining us.

For the Exeter massive, hope you enjoyed the slight diversion / loop into Bristol, It would'nt be the same if I took all the right turns.. would it =))

All in all a very social day...

See you all again i hope... :D

Come and join us next Sunday (weather permitting), play guaranteed.

Sorry I had to bail, but needed to fail safe on my groceries which did not arrive on Sat. due to Tour de Britain race.

Well, that was my first larger group ride out in a long time and thought it was fab. Thanks to menzies explaining to this idiot the drop-off system, seemed to work well (I've only known the designated JM system, thought this was way better). Good pace Steve, shame about the amount of traffic but I'll deffo be joining another one of yours, work permitting :-)
