Well, the bikes back together .......... but the bl**dy thing is still dripping coolant :evil:

I don't know if I'll be at Bridge, but I'll probably be Bideford ...... just see how it go's and take a bottle of coolant with me "just in case"

Just looked at the route, and the roads look a lot better than last year - several that folks here seem to enjoy :roll: anyway :D

Bideford, Holsworthy, Bow, bickleigh, Stoke canon, Exeter :D

Autoroute says 70 miles ......

Just got home.

Brilliant ride up - good route, good weather :D

Slower ride back - not as bad as last year, but still all well within legal speeds .... :roll: Not helped by the fact it rained all the way from Holsworthy Beacon to Crediton :evil:

Nick - I thought you heard what I said at Copplestone :roll: :cry:

Wez & I looked at the skies and decided to leave the rugby ground early - and just as we left the heavens opened - got home in a thunder-burst :evil: :cry: Sorry for not hanging around guys (and gals) :oops:

Great ride up :D , could have done with better weather on the way back and faster , but I suppose the air ambulance isn’t going to encourage it, what can you do, health and safety gone mad :) Good to meet some more guys, see whoever Tuesday :D

Well our group was lucky

Never rained on us once, except for a little drizzle, on the way up or the way back

Saw someone came off near the start but word is he is ok...Hope he gets well soon

Enjoyed the ride up more especially the bit from Crediton to Bideford on the B3220

Good day allround. Good to see everyone turn up at bridge this morning and been meaning to do those roads for ages. felt that the pace back would have been a bit slow so took our own route back and missed all the rain until we sat down for a coffee at the end.
See you all again soon
