Do some prefer to avoid porlock hill? I generally much prefer going up a steep hill to down it, is that uncommon?

Personally it doesn't worry me.

However, on this ride we have motorcyclists of all abilities riding all kinds of bikes. Some may have pillions, some may have bikes unable to make the gradient and some might just prefer to take the route with great views.

It'll be too late in the morning for breakfast by the time we arrive there Plums! We'll be having breakfast bright and early at the Golden Arches of Newton ! ;)

Dan the man, are you going on this ride, if so shall we meet up and try to get down to mac Donald's in Tiverton for breaky.

Hokey cokey and turn around.

What time mate?

I'll top up fuel in the services, the Shell station just off the motorway junction as I don't think the supermarket fuel stations in Tiverton open until 10am. Bloomin hick town!

Fear not outsider the Tesco has 24hr pumps now and is a wee bit further on from Mc D's. Instead of left into Maccys go straight on then 3rd exit @ the next roundabout and the next right on that road.

He He..
