Ride out in Devon on 09/04/11
 
Me and MetalHead19 have decided the weather is so lovely and would like to go for a blast in it. Having spent today working on the bike I can safely say I'm itching to be back on the seat despite being out on her yesterday.

Intentions are simple and the current route (though cnan be changed at anytime) looks as follows

CLICKY HERE FOR THE MAP

I know it says sunday but thats wrong ok :D Meeting was/is TwoBridges Hotel in the middle of Dartmoor at 9.30/10 heading to exeter the long way intending to be around there at Lunchtime and heading out towards Winkliegh and then bomeranging back to Two Bridges at some time. There is the possiblity that we will take the long way from Exeter to Winkliegh going over Exmoor too. Though this cannot be confirmed as of yet. See how the day goes :)

I'd also like to point out the fact that I am not responsible for anything that happens on this rideout, you attend at your own risk and are accountable on anything that happens to yourself only.

Cheers for a good ride. The bugs were certainly out in force today. I think to say that the route extended a little might be abit of an understatement :p

I know right, I'll do the actual route on G Maps just so you can comparison at some point I was shattered though, came in ate and sat there on the sofa. I literally only just got up to go upstairs I reckon riding out to that bit extra would have killed me. I just looked at my visor and cleaned it just then and it was solid with bugs! Shame the only two pictures I have is just of my bike at top of Porlock or with Carpet Right in the background :P ... I'll post the actual route and Our Carpet Right Picture tomorrow :')
