Have you looked on Google maps or in a road bulbs as to where tiverton is in relation to to you ?
If you go to Google maps, put in your location and then destination as shepton it will tell you the duration time for your journey, that way you can Work out times to leave, meet etc.

Re: Friendly Ride - Sunday 16th March
Ok 5Litres i was thinking somewhere around 8:15-8:30am from Shepton and then we could pick up Ash on the way past Yeovil if we are going straight down the A37??
Re: Friendly Ride - Sunday 16th March
I reckon you want to be leaving Shepton at about 0800-0815. Google maps reckons about 1.5 hrs but I would expect to gain a bit of time on bikes. Don't forget you'll have to go and fuel up in Tivvy and you'll probably want a coffee before you set off again. Weather dependent I'll be heading that way from Shepton.
Re: Friendly Ride - Sunday 16th March
Well even 8am is good for me i don't mind but it has to be sensible and fit everyone who's meeting there especially for people that are already riding 45 mins to Shepton but 8am is fine for me and makes most sense. Shall we say 8am then and now where to meet in Shepton ? there is a big crossroads with a fish and chips shop near with a little carp park i was thinking there? any other suggestions?

Don't forget he is on a 125, yeovil is quite a way out of direction for the time available. You could meet in taunton instead me yeovil.
