Might be up for this. I'm guessing you'll be crossing, or on, the A38 at some early stage, would you be happy for an extra pick-up somewhere on it? There could be two of us, me from darkest E Devon and a mate from Shipham.

Filling Stn.

Junction A38 & B3133 - BS40 5JG

Say 10.30

Have modified the return route bringing us south of Bristol so that you and the WsM fella can go west while we go north.

I won't be able to make this one, but perhaps another time we can do a run starting and finishing halfway between Brizzle and North Devon........Riders of Bridgwater café for the start and finish p'raps

Yup, I know the place.
Because of work comm's I can't be 100% sure of getting there, but if it works out, look for a Y plate silver Aprilia Futura. My mate won't make it though, he's off to the BSB at Silverstone.

Sounds like a plan. Get a date and route organised and count me in .............. .

I'll probably be able to get a few together. Next year I guess.

That's O.K. I always carry a small toolkit

Its alright I wont need a toolkit as I will be on a Silva Yamaha Fazer.

All these ride and route suggestions Brian, why not plan, post and be glorious leader on one?

6 in so far.

Another WSM fella

I'll also meet at Chrchill..................Phil/guys.....parking area B3133 side (rear) of Budgens petrol station.

NB: Pair of new tyres so I might flag behind a little initially

Just a quick hijack of the thread.....
"All these ride and route suggestions Brian, why not plan, post and be glorious leader on one? "

I did organise a ride out a couple of months back and am more than happy to do more ride outs, but my posts here and elsewhere are;
1 - where a route modification is suggested I'm trying to help the run organiser.
2 - also looking to see if other possible ride outs are likely to be supported, especially when they might not be based around south Devon. So yes, I will organise something starting and finishing at Bridgwater......

Back to the thread, I hope you had a good ride out today guys

Gnackered I am, yes.

9 went including young Robbo from the Peoples Republic of Ottery. Went pretty well, nice stops and grub. Bit misty for a while but warmed up a lot.
Markers managed to keep all in tow. Thanks, as always, to Mr Silva for backmarking and all else for a splendid romp.

Yup, a brilliant day out was had. Big thanks to Monseur M Yellow for organising and leading .
For me there was lotsa roads never before travelled, lotsa views never before seen, all topped off with hot nosh in a canalside pub in the sun - what better. It was great to meet some old and new friends; special mention and a big thumbs up to 'Lady Enfield' for peddling so hard and keeping the rest of us honest
