Here's one...
I think that one ended mellow.

Might even join you this year. I've had a fairly miserably biking winter but just picked up the old Dullville after extended attempts to fix a misfire and it's never run like this before. Badly misnamed based on the last two days of riding. Must be partly the weather but I'm chucking the thing all over the place. I've already had to stiffen the rear suspension and put the speedo to display fuel economy.

Edit: I've been thinking of wimping and doing St Austell onwards but Route 38 would be do-able on a good day (it's a tough time of year for us lecturer types). What route do you take from Exeter to there? Dual carriageways or fun stuff? I'd probably be too tired to do the whole thing but feel free to tempt me.

Usual route is exeter - r38 via A38, then on to snozzle on A38/A390. From snozz we continue on the 390 to Truro, and on to Lands end .....

If you join at r38 or snozz, you could continue back up there Devon at the end, rather than the start? We all head back up this way via Jasper's (Plymouth)
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Not been on for a fair while for some reason but hope to do this ride will meet up at route 38 but will be no old man with me this year as he has trained his motorbike in for a electric bicycle. See you all there weather permitting
