Hi Every one. Hope all is healthy happy and terrific after todays jaunt to the north coast and through cloud city.

Thanks Simon for the route and putting it together and well done every one for a great days riding. Everybody's thanking certain people but we all contributed towards a good day and a big hearty 5.9 for getting the rozzers to stop for a chat.

Glad you go home ok Smiler!!! Any more bump starts needed on the way home??? ;)

Thanks to everyone for putting together a great day and making a newbie feel welcome! Many thanks to all the junction markers, I was way out of my usual territory so would probably still be out there somewhere if it wasn't for you!

And last but not least.... Cheers Rich & Frag for guiding me back to yeovil!

Will hopefully see you all again on the next rideout.

A couple of pics from the meet.

It was great to meet you too Smiler - and everyone else I said Hi to. Tony and I had a good old chin-wag about the virtues of SuperDukes, and Nick & Rich set my mind at ease about sharing a teepee with them I'm looking forward to the camping! I cant believe it took me over six years since moving down to the SW to actually get out with you lot! I hope to meet even more of you next time.

Cheers

Seeing as people are uploading piccies, here are a few I took while on the ride.

I tried to get some panoramic type shots, which I was hoping to stich together at some point. Origional picture's url is included after each pic for convenience.

Starting out at Tiverton..

Arrived at Minehead, though these shots don't do justice to the biker invasion that occured that day!

COULD THOSE WHO JUNCTION MARKED AND STILL HAVE THEIR ARMBANDS PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I WILL NEED TO RECOVER THEM FROM YOU

Thanks again for helping out, we didn't lose anyone that didn't want to be lost

Gave my armband to a chap on a bandit when I had to go.

Still got mine. You're having it back at Mallory i believe.

GOOD DAY OUT, THE STORM AND THE MRS LOVED IT ONLY I WAS ASKED TO MARK A JUNCTION, AND ONLY 28 BIKES WENT PAST, THEN NO JUNCTION MARKERS FOR THE REST OF THE WAY (WHAT HAPPENED?)
