Seen as its the last nice day for a while im goin for a little ride in the afternoon tomorrow if anyone fancies it.

Im going to be riding pretty fast (well for me anyway ),so i dont wanna wait around for slow bums

probably end up goin Barnstaple-torrington-winkleigh-copplestone-okehampton-a386 back to barny,or maybe somewhere else as long as its not too far out of ND.

Forecast for 2moro =

Might be able to make it (1.30ish)
depends if i can get away with painting the outside of me nans bungalow
i will post in morning before 11:30

Depends how late it is mate, Finish work at 4, can head straight up. North Devon is ace.
If its that sort of time text me 07909631993, if not dont worry but gotta go bed so wont be able to check.

lol okay mate,ill check on here when i finish work bout 12ish.
I dont mind setting off a bit later,as long as im back home before 5pm.

One of my faves too. Quite often turn right at Hatherleigh, across to Holsworthy, Bude then back up the coast road to Bideford.

Another good one is Torrington, Winkleigh, Copplestone turn right. through Bow across to Okehampton then back Hatherleigh, Torrington, Bideford.

yeah awesome routes

I always seem to get lost going from copplestone to a386 tho,i always end up drifting down into okehampton high street

My favourite bit is definately b3232 barny-torrington(avoiding bin lorries),then down to okehampton.gets a bit boring after the loooong sourton down straight.

Do you fancing meeting up and heading down for the early rideout aug 17th?
Be nice to ride down with someone in the dark

Going through Okehampton high streets ok. Just turn right at the lights, go past the superstore (waitrose, I think), and after a twisty section, you come out just before Folly Gate.

Yeah, I'll be up for riding down to the early rideout. Hoping it won't be too dark though!! Probably best to meet somewhere like Torrington garage (or would you rather go down the 377) Plan it nearer the time.

yeah sounds cool,im not really fond of a377 these days- p*ss poor surface isnt that fun to ride

Hopefully get a few more of us northeners out for this one too
