I'm up for a ride anyway despite the friendly rideout being postponed again. As the weather first thing doesn't seem too bad, my plan is to head off from here (Yeovil/Sherborne) about 8am-Cartgate for a coffee, then head down to the coast-Weymouth etc, eventually come back this way to Sparkford to Haynes Motor Museum where it will be the second day of Bike Safe- starts at 10am. Anyone interested call or text in the morning (07932972125) from 7am and we'll meet up somewhere, or post here or pm me-I'll check before leaving. Jon.

Umm tempting if I can get out of bed that early Would make a change instead of the usual blat down the A30 to work.

Hi Blue, may see you in the morning then

will try and get to cartgate for 8. If i'm not there your know I am still asleep

It's now 7am Sunday, weathers sunny and dry...... oh no it's not, sorry was still half asleep and dreaming anyway I'm sticking with my plan, heading off to the services at cartgate roundabout soon. Aim to be at Haynes for 10.

Thanks for your company Blue, really enjoyed the ride, we were b lucky with the weather Hopefully see you on the summer rideout (If that doesn't get cancelled ).

For anyone interested we went from Cartgate services-Sherborne-Cern Abbas-Dorchester-Weymouth-Bridport-West Bay-then back to Sparkford and had a quick nose around Bike Safe being held at Haynes Motor Museum, unfortunately ran out of time and didn't get the chance to test ride a Ducati or go for a supervised ride with the Police maybe another time.














Not many will be getting away from this one

Sounds like you had a good one

I'm thinking of doing this route sometime in the summer, interested?

Definitely interested, but what with wife/kids and work, don't get much time to play Keep us posted re when you're planning it.

Will do

If you went from fuel light to fuel light that means I would need a garage (or 2 ) on the way round with the firestorm. Sounds like a nice route though.
