Not sure why I didn't cross you guys..
I left home about 11:30 and headed straight to Cullompton and then followed your route but in reverse.

Had a nice run run though and the B3137 is just superb but often overlooked.

You would have hit South Molton around 12:30-ish I reckon and if you turned right and headed for the B3227 (aka the North Devon TT) via Bish Mill and the A361 southbound you missed us by 300 yards. We were all in South Molton's covered market scoffing cake and coffee around then, the bikes were parked directly opposite in the town centre. By the time we left there you would've been well into the TT course.

Bugger.. I was going to ride into South Molton to get a coffee at the Spar post office but decided against it as I thought 'sods law' will mean you'd probably all ride through without me knowing.. lol
That'll teach me for not letting you know what I was doing.

I still had a good ride, was also testing out an adjustment I had made to the map on my 990 and finally it no longer stinks of unburnt fuel, and the engine pulls much smoother now... Got a couple more MPG out of it too, which is nice.
