Sorry we didn't join you at Loomies, but a couple of our WB lot had commitments such as starting work in the early afternoon so we had a late revision to our ride and congregated instead at the Haven (formerly Hilltop Café), had a drink and brekkie and then headed to Crescent in Verwood so Chicky could have a look at helmets after complaining that her Arai (in pin-head XXS size) gives her a headache....

Glad y'all had a good ride and got home safely

Well started off nice and early to get over to honiton.
Decent group turned up ready for a trek up the old a30. The roads started off damp and a nice cautious approach as cold also.
Rode into chard and through to crewKerne following the way through. Made the most of the fairly clear roads up to Yeovil and carried on to the meeting point at ivy cross
From here was a bit where everything was flown by the seat of out pants as the route was vague and detreminded by sat nav. Rocked up at loomies about 1120. Had a fairly nice breakfast which filled a good void which was created by this time.
From here the idea was always to float on some twistes down onto the south coast and rock on back to west bay but time was pushing on and the amount of traffic ment even the 3 routes we looked at wold have been 3 1/2 hours plus to west bay.
I made a decision, whether right or wrong to just jump on the motorway and dually to get some progress back and get to west bay in good time. The traffic was heavy but majority of road goers parted to let us filter at good pace.

Once within range matt guided us off of the dual carrageway and over towards the coastal by chesil beach and over the top and into west bay for a brew.

Thank you to everyone who turned up and came along even if for a bit, and bared with me whilst it was my first leaded ride, Matt who led the ride did a great job and so glad that there was multiple options to ride. Gee for playing tec. Hope it was enjoyable for all.

I can appreciate si leading the rides a bit more now as creates so many things floating through your head and makes a hard job trying to cater for everyone who turn's up.

Cheers for sorting it yesterday.

Nice pace for the bit I was able to do.

Sounds like it was a successful day in all.

Whens the next one????

Had a brill time. Thanks Ian, Matt and Gee for organising, leading and tec duties. We got there and we had giggles. The pace is unimportant. Good crowd fun times. My butt still hurts and the sheep be dead. Much love.
