Well turned out to be a great ride out.
Bunny67, Shooey, Ming turned up for the start of the ride from Bridge down to the Chequered Flag. Some really good roads some I have never done before. Was cold but sun was shining so all good.

Then after breakfast at Chequered Flag we headed back again joined by Jay and Hillbilly for the ride back to Bridge.

Thanks everybody great ride :-bd

Cheers Rob and the guys that braved the 2*C temps..... Had my heated gear on full whack and have burns on the back of my hands!! Good route, shame about the Sunday dawdlers. Had to shoot off at Bridge so apologies to those I didn't get the chance to say goodbye to.

Thanks Rob, and all that made the ride yesterday morning.

Half way there I saw the sign to Exeter and was seriously considering bailing as I couldn't feel my fingers! But preservance paid off, the day got warmer, the roads stayed fairly quiet and the sausage and egg sambo was well worth the cold start!

Shooey just a suggestion but seen your planning to get cracking with track days early in 2019. If you remember this year we had snow and sub 0 temperatures in Feb and March. Might want to get yourself some waterproof winter gloves as helps with these cold morning ride outs as well :-bd
