Details of this years ride out will be coming shortly.
The route this year will be totally different from the last few years and the route is a close guarded secret
Using this date then gives the Trackday guys and gals 4 weeks to prep their bikes for Llandow.
Anyways, for those wishing to attend, please place your names below.
Thanks
Speedy

Hi Jak, it will be an early morning start, well between 9 and 10am depending on which group you are wanting to be in, and we wont finish until late afternoon around 5 ish (finishing in Exeter - Not Barnstaple).

Woo awesome route!I was only saying the other week that i wanna ride to cheddar...and the barny-minehead routes one of my faves.
Ill more than likely wanna be in group 4...depends what medium/fast entails.
Will i get my wrist slapped if i invite a few on the VFR forum,or is it SWB only?

Please may I go in the medium group 3 depending what is medium/fast and slow.
Can you give an idea the difference between medium and medium fast.
EDIT: From later posts(now removed) I would like to go in slow group.
