Right folks, nice sunny weather promised so who's up for a ride around the Blackdown Hills?

09.45 hrs-ish: Meet at the Shell filling station just off the M5 junction 27 - EX16 7HD.
10.00 hrs PROMPT: Depart - please be fueled up ready.
Brekky/snack stop: Tramstop Cafe in Colyton.
Finish: Bluebell Cafe and filling station, Willand.
NOTE # 1: If there's more than two or three of us we'll use the drop-off system.
NOTE # 2: I'll contact the Tramstop Cafe to make sure they're going to be open and reserve the right to change route if they're not.
Planned route: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/bp,+M ... FQAw%3D%3D
Pace: To fit the conditions and our preferences i.e. making good progress but no knee down antics - the Blackdowns ain't the Isle Of Man and we aren't on closed roads (more's the pity).

Of course I'll be joining in the fun.
Brakes have been sorted - abs switched off - look out for my Toprak like stoppies :twisted:
...In my dreams :mrgreen:

Advice from a skinflint. Don't fill up at the starting point filling station. As far as I know cheapest near there is Tesco, Collumpton.
