Mel and I went for a ride yesterday by ourselves. Left at about 10 and got back about 4.

Here's the route

Started in Aminster - Chard - Ilminster - Curry Rivel via B3168 - Langport - A303 - Turned off just before Sparkford onto the A359 towards Yeovil - B3148 to Sherborne - A352 to Dorchester stopping to look at the Giant at Cerne Abbus - Weymouth - Portland Bill for lunch - Weymouth - Westbay via B3157 for a drink - Axminster.

Don't know how far it was cos I forgot to do the trip but the fuel light was just on before I filled up in Aminster and came back on on the way back from Westbay.

Was a cracking ride and the Sherborne to Dorch road is ace, lots of twists.

Lunch at Portland was good quality and not too badly priced

I'm thinking of doing this as a group ride in a few months or so, so let me know if you're interested.

Hi i'm new to this site would quite like to tag along if your going out for this ride again or any others

Came back from the isle of white on friday lovely roads up round there( around dorchester area)

nice ride mike, we left st austell this morning at 9 and went over to bodmin,camelford,bude,barnstaple, ilfracombe back to bideford for a pub lunch then home via holsworthy and launceston down the a30 back to st a.2 tanks of fuel and roast, a good day out i'd say

thinking of riding down to penzance now as the wife and her mates are down there on the piss so may use another tank of fuel and probably a kfc too

Sherborne to Dorch is an excellent road , although haven't done it on the bike yet

Will give you a shout too denz

If your heading down to penzance give me a bell and I'll join you at the treliever roundabout (if you go that way). I'm a big fan of that road and I ended up at a classics meet in penzance last time, there were bikes from the 1930's!

let us know when this ride is on, could be fun

How does 27th May sound? Either that or the 13th cos Mrs works every other weekend, but I know Blimey's got his bbq/machanic thing that day. Otherwise can't do till and of June but cos of Portland would be good to do it before holidays start.

mike are you doing the summer rideout with your missus on the back or going on your own ?? cant decide whether to take mine or leave her at home for the day

Take the wife deej

why do you say that dave, surely its more fun on your own ??

yea i know deej but got to keep them happy

yep going to take her to haldon to meet up with you guys then off down the coast to paignton. its probably over 250miles for her on the rideout and shes never been that far on the back
