Hopefully will have blown over by Sunday morning
Of course, during the rainy season (Aug 1st-Jul31st) peeps should check the ride is on before setting out.....will post my call this evening, but if the weather is still not certain there's a slim chance I change that call so please check here Sunday morning before (hopefully) coming out to play

Hello Brian
I have been looking at Metcheck projections for weather tomorrow 1st March 2020.
It seems that it'll be raining all day at Barnstaple,Lynton and Minehead.
Tiverton will be fine when we set off.
Exeter,Torbay,Chard,Yeovil and Weymouth will be mostly dry with midday the only damp period.
Wind strength 11mph
I'll see you @tivvy 0830hrs.

Hello Brian,
------------------
I'll see you @tivvy 0830hrs.
But I won't. Or @ The Stables
Clutch mechanism is in but still too much periphery work left to do; not to mention including finding the 4 litres of 10w/40 fully synth' I forgot to have ready for after the rebuild

- fat chance of finding that at 7.15 pm on a Saturday in Ottery St Scary

.
So I'm off to the pub.
Weather's looking fine so have a good safe ride

We are currently green for GO...…..but most likely I'll cut the bit north of the A361 Link Road (save that for a sunny day)......and depends if I can safely get out of the village to Tiverton.
PLEASE check here in the morning, I'll post before 07.30 if I have to pull the plug. Hopefully the weather will not be too bad

Sorry guys, I can’t make this one. Shame as it looks like we have clear skies. Enjoy!

Hope you have a good one.... Ride safe. I drove Newton Abbot to Torrington yesterday via Moretonhampstead and Winkleigh and in places the road conditions were horrendous

Awesome ride today Brian. Tanks for leading this along some rather wet roads. Great ride and great company as always.
Hope folks are warm and dry.
The might bm is clean and dry in her garage ready for the next outing....
Thanks again Brian and all...

On the way home after a green lane and a comfort stop. Great ride and the rain mostly held off.
