Re: Saturday 13th May
Been reminded by Oberleutnant Nom8s that I haven't written up this rideout yet; so here 'tis:
Route: Similar to what was planned (above), but only similar...... Honiton, coffee at Steamers Café Cullompton (highly recommended btw - a petrolheads paradise), Tivvy, Rackenford, north via the Sidemoor Diner and Roachill to the Nth Devon TT, Bampton, Haddon Hill, Cotford St Luke, West Buckland, Smeatharpe, Honiton and finish @ Chez Robbo87's for coffee and being spoiled by Mrs Robbo87 with prawn salads etc.
Weather: effin superb
.
Roads: Dry, empty, and also effin superb
Miles: I clocked 131, Roy probably around 160 by the time he got home.
Thanks to Roy for turning up, for TEC duties
and for plenty of laughs

Re: Saturday 13th May
What a great ride - sweeping curves and hardly any traffic; North Devon, (perhaps a bit of Somerset) has some fine roads for bikers. The weather couldn't have been better.
Super day and my thanks to Jenny for the unexpected and welcome nourishment.
Thanks Phil for the fun day.
