Haha! Thats not what you were saying at Morrisons! You all looked [Censored] freezing!


Thanks for the ride today everyone - once again massive thanks to Si for putting it all together and making it happen - nothing would get done here without you!

Ideal way to spend a birthday!

Didn't realise it was your birthday ed!! Ok, it may have been a little nippy at times!

Thanks all for a great day and a special thanks to Si for organizing it all!

that sucks, we came through Tavvy about 12, you would have seen 20 odd soaking wet bikers heading for Liskeard.

Hope you all had a good time and the weather better than my ride home, thank goodness for waterproofs....it [drunk] down!!!!

Think Yeovil this morning and Maccy D's were the only places it wasn't raining.

nope, there was a part on Dartmoor for 20 yrds that was dry

is that why you went home early ? unlike those in winter gear

miler wrote:went to Jaspers,was a good turnout for this weather, spoke to graham22 and meganall and sorry didnt recognise anyone else, hope you all had a safe journey back

didnt see Si

i was there, hiding behind a jasperizer and a mug of tea. for this weather it was amazing, i had no idea there were so many people that could be fooled by a weather report

sounds like you had no luck today - other than the fact you got to get home and get dry about 5 hrs before the rest of us
fingers crossed for next time

no probs, luckily for you your trip down was for a dry rideout, if it had been a wet one i would of cancelled it !




big thanks to all those who turned up and help scare the people in McDonalds in the morning. thanks again for junction marking and not losing anyone AGAIN ! thats 2 rideouts runnig, we are on for a record

That was a bit of a soggy one eh!!!

Big thanks to Si for organising this, Bambam for TEC duties and everyone who turned out for it

Marty and Milky are currently in Exeter District Hospital undergoing treatment for hypothermia cos apparently a one piece race suit and a t shirt wasnt quite quite warm enough.....tarts!!

Ed, you def should've said it was your birthday! Hope you had a great day

Sam, you had the right idea hun, the sunshine appeared somewhere out across from the A38 on the way back, just to taunt us all! grr!! lol

Thx all, had a nice day despite the sogginess!

Smiler x

So when's the next one now that rides aren't weather/temperature dependant!?

Just on a side note any1 know if AStars boots come with any sort of warranty? My feet were soaked through and for waterproof boots definitely not impressed!

Milky wrote:So when's the next one now that rides aren't weather/temperature dependant!?

They never were!

Rich, glad you got back ok - we must've looked quite sorry for ourselves at the services! No idea on the boots tho

Thanks Si for organising another great ride and to all the junction markers and bambam! Twas a good route and deffo think it should be one to be done in the spring/summer time when hopefully it might be dryer!!

Came home to roast beef in the oven so i pretty soon thawed out but going back outside to sort the horse out for the night was definately a mission and a half!

A few pics..

Second from last is the reason we carried on back to exeter, but what's being eaten in the last pic makes me think we should have come!

The kids were brill, but they are normally, they have been brought up with it, i will say it was my daughters first ride out on the back of a bike, she has been on a trike, a sidecar. But first time she was on the back of a bike 6Yrs old. Very proud of her today.
My son left about 2 inches of that hotdog, which again was proud lol, did mean we left next to last, lol
