You are of course welcome along to any Southwestbikers rideout, however your bike must be in good mechanical order (we don’t want anything falling off of it including you), taxed and have a current MOT. You must have a valid motorcycle licence and current motor insurance. You are in charge of your motorcycle at all times and SWB will not accept any responsibility for actions you take or any accidents you may have. Always ride within your own capabilities and do not put others at risk. Remember, while you are on a Southwestbikers rideout you are representing the site and what it stands for.
Thank-you.

Don't forget......ANYONE can organise and run a rideout.

Thanks for that. Can we come via Halberton after fueling ?

P.S. There is nothing showing on the AA traffic site.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

As far as I have seen it's only the A361 that has the Roadworks on.

If you get there for 08.15, I / we will get there as soon as poss. I intend to leave WsM at 07.45 which leaves time for fueling in Tivi and for some refreshments.

You could go to the end of the dual carriageway to the roundabout and double back. That's what I did tonight cos I needed fuel from Tesco

The starting point is off the m5, the ride route itself doesn't take in the m5.
You are of course welcome.

You can get to Tivvy Mc'ds from the dual carriageway section of the A361 if you approach from the West. You can only get on to the A361 from Mc'ds heading towards the motorway junction. So if you're coming from the motorway go past the normal turn off and turn back at the roundabout, about 1.5 miles further on.
