Anyone fancy a toddle across Dartmoor with a brekky/snack/whatever in a bike dealers at Ashburton, then back toward Mid-Devon finishing with a coffee stop near Exeter on Sunday if the weather holds?

RIDEOUT POSTPONED. I came down with lurgy a few days ago and still have it so will be holding this ride over until (a) I've stopped coughing up gold watches and chains and (b) The weather is forecast to have an orange ball in the sky and we have dry roads - so watch this space for an update. Route and time details will remain the same

TIMES: Meet at 09.45 hrs for an 10.00 hrs START. Please be fuelled up.
START: From Exeter M5 Services EX2 7HF - top of car park next to the Costa Drive Thru and EV charging points.
NOTES: (1) Dartmoor has a 40 mph speed limit of course so I'll be respecting that, also the 30 mph towns and villages, other than that I'll be making progress while bearing in mind prevailing road conditions - naturally.
(2) If there's more than just a few of us we'll use the tried and tested 'drop-off system.
ROUTE: . . . . . Moretonhampstead, Two Bridges, Ashburton, Okehampton, Exbourne, Nth Tawton, finish at Cafe Earth - 100 miles.

If next time I see you you've got both hands in bandages I promise not to giggle (or at least I try not to).

REVISED START TIME: Now leaving at 10.00 hrs - see first post.
Still looking like good weather on the day folks .

I'll be nearer 10.00 than 09.45 at the start.

Sorry, away in Bournemouth
