Start from Tiverton Mcdonalds, meet at 10.00 to leave 10.15

First 100 miles includes some "secret" Exmoor that I haven't shown you lot before. Stops at Lynton and/or Quince Honey Farm:-

Yes please mate. Definitely some "secret" bits for me on the northern leg.
No probs with the times.

Phil and I will meet you at the start in Tivvy

Bumpety bump....

So is anyone else going to join me, Steve, Phil and Wendy?
I think ancient Phil may be bringing the Torrey Canyon along for our amusement, if he's not rescuing some holidaymaker stranded in the region

[Jug]

Yes please.. I should be up for that.

[royb]

And me; see you at 10am.

[ptolemyx]

Brilliant. More of the usual suspects

[royb]

In my case do it while you still can.

Sorry folks, can't make this one due to the offer of being treated to a day out by distant relatives. On this occasion my position will have to be taken by that other well known practitioner of ancient-ness, Roy of the 'Acme Suzuki Bandit Modification Co'.
Have fun guys and no speeding, you know I disagree with it!

P.S. Info' for the future: I should be safe to follow now, the Torry Canyon has had her bulwarks caulked - and that's not a euphamism.

Thanks Bri for running and planning todays expedition into the nether regions of Exmoor. Thanks to Bri and everyone else for the turn off marking it was up to it's normal fool proof standard. Special praise got to go to Wendy for conquering the hairpin on the mountain side, it was a bit of a bugger. Really enjoyable day, sorry I had to leave early.

Thanks Brian for another excellent run, and to Steve for the TEC duties, and everyone for making it a great run.
Had a real blast and so did the bike..

See you all on the next one.

Thanks Brian for leading and everyone else for turning up and making the day enjoyable. More Thursday rides please!

[Woo636]

Thank you Bri, glad to be home!! Great ride today the day was a real blast and loved those roads. The morning was challenging and required a lot of concentration which will always contribute to being a better rider. The afternoon was fast flowing with great roads dodging the traffic. Love it, see you all soon.

[Robbo87]

I'm not going to add to any of the above positive comments except to also offer my thanks to Brian for getting us into some amazing parts of Exmoor that I would never otherwise have seen; also to Steve for his usual faultless cat-herding duties - and a minor thank you to my trumpet for behaving itself.

Here's a couple of pic's I took of us at The Buttery tea rooms in Doone Valley, Exmoor.

Thanks guys and gal. It's always a joy to orgamanize rides with the gang
So now I've shown you some of the ultra secret Exmoor where next?
Time for olderPhil, or perhaps Wendy n' youngerPhil to sort a ride in their home patches
