Whose going from Newton area?

Me
Jak
Andy CBR

....

Might see if I can make it down to exeter services for six thirty and come up with the exter lot if thats cool, which way do you guys usually go?

If not I'll go Torquay, Shaldon, Teignmouth, Newton Scabbot, Totnes, Paignton.

But if anyone wants to do another route or has another idea let me know

I'll be ready to leave Newton about 7-ish, going via Totnes as usual - so if anyone wants to meet me at the Esso garage, about 7.00-7.10??

See Funky ... not 7.30

Andy - you're a bad influence, I was going to take it easy on the way home! Lucky on the lights with that copper though

Dunno where the rest of you got to, did wait a few times

honest

Cheers for a good evening guys - even if I didn't enjoy the scenery quite as much as you lot!!!

Oh and hopefully got another TRX rider coming on the site ..... was great to see another TRX there, and parked so close to me

although it did make mine look well ratty

Good evening - took the scenic route there with Blimey, Andycbr and Bondy via Moretonhampstead & Bovey Tracey although the road surface was a bit dire in places

Ride home was a bit quick. After waiting for Bondy in the A380 layby he suddenly went by & took off. Those corners on the dual carriageway seemed like hairpins at times

Good night, thanks for the interesting route on the way down Andrew...

Jak, I only let you beat me off the last set of lights because...(I'll think of a reason before the next one..

)..

Me had the same prob.

After waiting for Bondy in layby we shot after him as he blew past. I didn't catch him till the M5.

Did have a couple cars over take in front of me though and had to slow a bit and in the big dip i hit the limiter in 6th.

Like Drew said those bends felt like hairpins

Great night and comp as always.

Oh nearly forgot, great sliders Jay
