N.B. Sorry folks but my current aches and pains just might mean I can't come out to play on Sunday so please check here before setting out to see if I have to cancel this ride :roll:

On Friday I rode past that farm shop and wondered what it was like.

Just wonder why you've then planned to ride up the A37 when one of the best roads in that whole area is right next door (the A352)?

Route - I did say "along the lines of". Is this better, riding DOWN the A352 towards the Ducks Farm cafe:-

And do not fret Jim, we'll be having ride outs all the way through to next summer. Not a lot stops SWB :mrgreen:

I'm in for this 👍.
Att'n Jim and whoever else fancies this rideout - if Brian can't make it for whatever reason, I'll be happy to adopt the mantle of Glorious Leader for the day. I can't guarantee to do the same route that Brian's planned but it'll be around the same mileage, with a coffee and cake stop, and will end at the same venue.
NOTE: All 'Grey Ones' are invited, lesser mortals welcome too 😁🏍😁.

Yup, all being well I'll be up for that.
I'll join you as you come through Chard if that's ok?

I guess on the 90 degree corner in Forton will be a nice quiet place to wait for you, and I'm guessing you'll be there around 10:45?

Planned stop is Duck's Farm Cafe Portesham.
Finish is The Steamer Cafe between Cullompton and Willand.
