Hi all, Just passed my test (almost 20 years late) But better late than never. anyway do any of you ride anything other than newish fast road bikes? I've got a '98 KLR 650 and clearly apart from lack of experience would struggle power and top speed wise to keep up, but I am interested in getting involved on a rideout at some point. I live Nr Sherborne if that makes any difference. Jon.

Thanks for the welcome and replies. I am really lucky to live where I do, with all choice of routes though the countryside, I can't wait to get some proper miles under my belt and I'll look forward to seeing some of you on my travels. Jon.

Thanks for the warning Billi, I had noticed! I was looking at the map the other day for somewhere interesting to go and apart from the obvious routes to the coast ( I'm sure they'll be good too) I had wondered about Exmoor and as thats your neck of the woods... what are the roads like though the park? Any other ideas? I'm away next week but after that I'm hoping to start getting out more. Jon.
