friendly ride - Aug 9th - route posted

[Robbo87]

They still haven't confirmed that they're showing it on here.
Finishing yeah at ten tours Near Newton.

The Race starts at 1 so aiming to be there for half twelve. SEE how it goes.

The California Inn's not showing it this weekend, see here: viewtopic.php?f=85&t=100534 - is the Ten Tors showing it?

if anyone is interested i will be leaving Okehampton white house services on Sunday at 8-15am for McDonalds march Barton on Sunday for the friendly ride.
so this will give me plenty of time to fill up at Exeter and grab a brew before the off.
so if anyone wants to join me on the run up your most welcome

[billinom8s]

Ah well, maybe stop for a coffee, show them the trade they've lost in extra drinks and food and leave.

I don't know if the tors is showing it.

regarding this sundays friendly ride from exeter
is there a planned stop for fuel and a brew somewhere
or is it non stop 3 1/2 hour ride to see if the motosport is being shown on tv at the pub
if this is the case i will give it a miss as this is not my idea of a freindly ride out cheers
rant over

[billinom8s]

Steady on sir.

It's being run at posted speed Limits, as always. As ride leader i'll be sticking to the posted stuff. What goes on Behind me is down to the individual, there's a tail end charlie to make sure nobody is left behind too.

It's not a non stop run, the plan was to stop at the Cali but there's nothing booked.

[billinom8s]

Just looking at the route, are you taking the ferry at Dartmouth?

Yep

[Crusader Sport]

Hi guys .Can I have the post code of where we are making any lengthy stops please. May be handy if there's a screw up in the drop off system or get held up coz someone breaks down or whatever. Looks like we got brill weather for this if all the grocks stay off the roads it'll be perfect.
Cheers and thanks.

Hi Tony, friendly rides are always planned with fuel stops, coffee and cake etc and the pub will have the motogp on. Billinom8s will have made sure of this. Hence why it's calledca friendly... See you there hopefully

[ptolemyx]

But will the pub have the MotoGP on?

But will the pub have the MotoGP on?

Been talking to Deadpool about that in a different thread as could use my BT Sport account with a laptop however I am currently in Covid Lock down due to departing Spain within the last 14 days so not allowed out yet.

There is an ambition to try........

Do we have a rough idea of how many are likely to turn up, given the good weather forecast? And will you need to split the group if it's popular?

I think I may well be able to attend - been a while since I've had chance

[Crusader Sport]

Ming,oh merciless one. Last couple of rides we've split into smaller groups with leaders and tecs as needed. Works just fine.

In that case you'll be needing another run leader and TEC...

[billinom8s]

We'll see who turns up and hat the plan can turn into.

I think the maximum group size of 6 has been increased to about 30 so we are fine.


After a message from Ming we may well avoid Dartmouth like the plague and keep it a more fluid run via totnes.

[billinom8s]

Pretty sure the motogp is a write off as not had any confirmation it's going to be on.

Will stop at the Pub for a drink but not holding breath for the Race. Then move on. Total is only 120 miles so not an all day event.
