Stopping for fuel in Crediton will be 114 miles from the start.
I reckon on 5 hours in the saddle, will we want a lunch stop or just coffee and my pee stops :mrgreen:
Well now, the first part of the question we can debate, the second part is moot :mrgreen:.

Question part one: (a) Smiley's is open on Sunday (I've just double-checked) so coffee and/or a full brekkie or snack may be had there. (b) Union Road Motorcycles in Crediton https://unionroadmotovelo.com/ is worth a visit - bikes, coffee, what's not to like? (c) Greedy's snack bar in Torrington. (d) Rest And Be Thankfull - pub in Wheddon Cross, a bit posh but there's a public w.c. in the adjoining car park for the use of visiting Hyabusa owners . . . . . . and plenty of other coffe/nosh stops on the way around - probably.

Answer to question part two: Anywhere :mrgreen:

The biker's cafe in Crediton is good but parking may be an issue if there's a crowd of us. At least the weather's looking better than today....

So you two's looking at coffee/snack stops - not a meal stop. Some folk may want to stop for a meal, I prefer to just stop for coffee n' p'raps a quick snack and get on with the riding. May do a show of hands for what we do for stops.
I've got the hipsters beard for the Crediton biker's café but as Andy says parking there is limited and will we be welcome if we're not all on bobbers or CX500 café racers :-?

And as y'all know any hedge will do for my special needs :mrgreen:

Reckon as it's your ride Brian, you decide where and when we stop for snacks, coffees, fuel etc. 😊
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..
