Saturday ride from Dawlish

Post by jock »

Morning all, seeing as the next few days are dry Saturday should be a good day then with excellent road conditions. So, just posting in advance If any one might be interested in joining me for a local ride starting from Dawlish seafront meeting at 10am for 10:30 depart. Still working on a route but probably over to Exmouth via Topsham.

Decided to keep it short so heading up the A379 to Topsham then down to Exmouth seafront for breakies at "DJ's café". Enjoy the seaside then back up to Exeter and a look around "Bridge motorcyles". Finally running back down to Dawlish through to Teignmouth seafront ending up at "Whistlestop café" at the train station. 45 miles aprox

Time change; 10am meet up. leaving at 10:30 prompt. Dawlish seafront, Station road(by the rail bridge).

Seeing as no ones up for this ride tomorrow there's no need for me to wait at the seafront now so just going to set off in my own time from home instead. :wink: Safe riding to all! :)

Well, you might be saddened to know that the weather is likely to change to ice, snow, and hell freezing over - I took one of my bikes out today! Quick bimble to Exeter and back ....... Saw quite a few bikes out, a surprising number of Speed /Street triples!

Ooh, perhaps you were one of the various Triumphs I saw today!
