PUULEEESE Nobody suggest pole dancing sheep clubs







Mind you could be quite a money spinner could FLEECE the punters


Can see this thead taking a strange twist

I like the cross country dartmoor road, but then it is where I grew up. From Exeter to Plymouth via Moretonhampstead and Prince Town is beautiful. It's a b-road but once you are up on the moor there are few trees so it has good visability. Don't do it at night though. It's cold! Go at tea-time 6-8pm before the sun goes is best to avoid traffic.

The alternative is the A38, which is a boring dual carriage way without a roundabout to even break the monotony from Exeter all the way into Cornwall.

thor: Done that road in my car a few years ago, it is great! Nice pub by an old stone bridge about half way along if I remember rightly. And a bloody steep climb up too...

I think I know the one, but this is one is great too. You will pass it so not a detour either.

if were talking about the same road, it isnt tarmac'd, its big enough to just get my bike through - there are some really dangerous hairpins on cliff edges, (where you have to take it on the brakes just before locking point)

oh and to top things offf - when we finally got to tarmac'd road, i jumped off my bike and kissed the road (only to find while i was doing this my bike had toppled over and my boots were stuck in the ground as the road was melting from beneath us)

The one I used was definitely all tarmac.

You've been watching too much Ewan and Charlie...

Not the same road! Thie one I am talking about is a fairly major (local) route!

oviously a total different road, it wasnt on my road map - we found it on my GPS and thought it looked quite interesting.

Looks likely yo have been on one of the coastal paths,which are marked on the Ord Survey maps and some GPS Sets
Taking from what you've written CBR's are good at Green Lanes???????

Mental Note--Don't follow Warren

yes i agree - dont follow me on a ride out. i was only following my GPS

the CBR is definetly designed for tarmac use only, authough i was the only one out of the three of us not to drop his bike.

i wouldnt mind doing it on a more suited bike tho . . .bearing in mind my bike was full of luggage at the time. was standing on the pegs with my weight over the front wheel most of the time "picture me riding a CBR like a supermoto"

got loads of nettle stings on my neck tho.


looking back on it . . . im glad we done it,

at the time it was pure hell.

we did feel like we had been on the "long way round" afterwards tho . . . .ewans a pussy
