If the weather gods permit, there'll be a rideout on Sunday 9th. This one with a slight difference as am planning on meeting for brekky (or whatever) first, THEN the rideout.
Meet at the cafe venue near Exeter at 10.00 a.m. and, after filling faces, start from there. Route won't be too long or strenuous, mostly keeping to tried and trusted biker friendly roads.
Full details to follow.

The weather's still looking o.k. chaps, so unless the sky falls in or the orange nutter across the pond makes it illegal overnight - or even if he does

Re: Breakfast bimble - Sunday 9th Feb'.
Brilliant, see you in the morning Phill... 
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..
Re: Breakfast bimble - Sunday 9th Feb'.
Me: Simon, how do I tell if my tires are too worn?
Simon: There are these wear indicator thingys in the treads.
Me: I don't see any wear indicators, or any tread for that matter.
Simon: ...
Gonna have to dip out of this one, as my rear tire is pretty much worn down to the metal. Phil is going to sort me out with some new Road 5's, so I will be back on the bike soon and ready to enjoy my premium suspension setup that Simon dialled in today. Hope the weather holds and you all have a blast tomorrow!
