It goes without saying - thank you Si for such a fab day out.
I know like a few of the others that have already posted I'm new to Ride Outs as well but as being sooooo new to the whole biking scene I want to say a really BIG thank you to everyone that has made me feel so welcome today. It makes me wonder why I never did this years ago!!
Happy riding everyone.

your riding has come on leaps and bounds

( probably not a good way to describe it

) especially in the wet and muddy conditions early on

Just like to say a big thankyou to all who organised the rideout today,it was a great day out.

(didn't like that butt clenching road upto Great Torrington thou. Slippy sliding all over the place & made all our bikes dirty

).
The roads after that made up for it thou,excellent!
This was my first ride out with you lot so it's nice to be able to identify a few names.(if i remember

).
That Speedy chappy's a funny man isn't he. Probably get a "goodfella" response now

& if you don't know what that is,see the film
Anyway no doubt i'll see some of you around,ride safely.
