Just a few other helpful notes to those new to the RttB:

The stop at St. Austell is a 24hr 'Card only' garage, there is also NO toilet !

If desperate let me know and I'll incorporate a stop on the way to Lands End.

Due to traffic always building after 9am, we want to get going fairly promptly from the Brekkie stop, so I'll give a few timely reminders. Also we re fuel at the Tesco on the outskirts of Penzance AFTER brekkie stop.

I'll be wearing my SWB hoodie, with BadgerKdd on the front and riding the Black older Gixxer:



with a clear screen though......

Big thanks to Kawasakiracer for doing the TEC.

we will be using the DROP OFF SYSTEM, if you aren't familiar with this way then please ask. Make sure you are aware of who is the TEC. He will be wearing a bright yellow vest and riding a nice big BMW.

[cornishredbaron]

badger with your clear screen does that mean you can actually see where your going?
lets hope there`s not a one way system any where as it could get interesting

[AshM750]

Picked a midway point, hope it gets better.

[billinom8s]

[billinom8s]

[MellowYellow]

I've fed the bike keys and credit cards to the dog. That'll stop me !
Hope the weather is kind, have a fabulous day all.
Maybe next year.........

[AshM750]

Weathers defo looking better.

[badgerKDD]

Ok I've had a pretty serious look at weather forecasts for Sunday and the best I can say is, early run from Exeter to Penzance will be dry and mild, as we continue back towards Bodmin /Victoria it should stay dry but possible shower then by the time you get to Jaspers for lunch you could start running into heavy showers as you go further North, Exeter and Beyond. They are marked as showers though, so that could be anything from a quick visor wetting to torrential downpour for twenty minutes or so.

So, its dry down to Cornwall, definite possibility of wet-ness going home.

I'll liase with Si and we will come up with a yey or nay by later Tomorrow, but will be watching for updates in the next 24 hrs. Bear in mind also that often the weather comes in 6 or so hours earlier than forecast in Cornwall, due to being stuck out into the Atlantic.

Cheers, Badger.

[AshM750]

Thanks Badger, I hope this doesnt get canceled as ive been waiting for this for so long

[avengerpenguin]

I am going to bail on this due to a combo of family and bike issues! Hope you all have a great ride and the weather is kind, for those of you that make it to the final finish point I may be in the area and come and say hi!!!

[Tractorwackyracer]
