Might join the 'Grey Posse' (aka the usual suspects) @ GT for the Two Moors jaunt. It's only a 50/50 on this so don't hang around for me - not that you ever do :mrgreen: .

PLAN B FOR ME: I'll meet you at my new favourite mid-Devon bikers cafe, it's Jonesey's Cafe, The Old Airfield, Winkleigh EX19 8EZ. Here - https://jonesys-catering.co.uk/jonesyrsquos-cafe/

If you leave GT M/C's as planned at 1300 hrs you should get to Jonesey's by 1430 hrs-ish - I'll be there.

Think we'll actually get to GT about 10.45. If we stay there an hour and a half we'll be leaving about 12.15 (not 13.00) so should be at Jonesy's in Winkleigh about 13.45. Hope that's okay for you Phil?

Hi Fellas, just a quick note to say thanks for letting me tag along from Jonesy’s Cafe, until I peeled off at Pitsford Hill (I know a nice ‘lanes’ route home from there). I was more than a bit apprehensive about joining a “summer pace” ride, especially as none of you know me, and I’m still getting my riding head back on, but it went reasonably well until my attention levels started to drop coming into Wheddon Cross. From there to Pitsford Hill I was a bit more relaxed, as I have at least been along the B3224/3188 a few times :)

That is probably the longest ride I’ve done for a year or so (including getting to the cafe), plus my first ride in a group for many years. I hope those unfortunate enough to be following me weren’t too put out at the odd lines and missed apexes.

Cheers, Bob (in the clown trousers) :ymparty:

Thank you to the grey gods for leading the ride today.
I covered 217 miles so you must have topped 250.
I’ll try and attach the route from my riser app https://riserapp.com/t/HgUDESafXD49/dun ... urday-ride
