Another thanks to Davidc, a nice route and a cafe that seemed to cater only for cyclists !!

Hi all so sorry to have missed it again!

I sat in that traffic jam this morning and there was some choice words I can tell you.

Did anyone take some pictures ? I had brought my video camera with me too

I hear you took a detour through Lyng . Great bit of fast road from there to Burrowbridge.

How many turned up in the end ?

That was because someone (can't think who) missed the turn in North Curry! Speck's Garmin map shows where we went!

Having remembered a bit late about the roadworks in Ruishton we finally joined your traffic jam in Henlade. Didn't take us quite as long as the cars took to get to the temporary traffic lights though...

My wife took 1/2 hour to get through it this evening. Worst traffic jam all the way from Lowestoft.

Glad you had a great time. Hopefully I'll make it along next time, you had a pretty nice day for it.

Thanks once again David for all your work. Bad luck on the traffic jam Peanut, it certainly looked pretty bad as we whizzed past them

Great to finally meet up with some fellow forum members, and David even kindly organised some great weather

Look forward to meeting up again.

excellent pictures TS well done. I thought for a while that no-one had brought a camera. Looks like the North Curry cake stop was a good choice of David's
I can't tell you all how much I missed the ride. The last ride I went to at Bishops Lydiard my car engine packed up mid way so I'm hoping third time lucky

good to be able to put faces to names at last.

I hope we can all meet up again @ some time.
DavidC very good route and nice cake stop

Regards Iain

Thanks for a great day out all. I think there goes the last day of summer, what a great day. It hung on just for us. Hope to do it again!

Based on some conversations on Sunday, I'm thinking of proposing a ride in East Devon.

I'll figure out a route and post it up to gauge interest.

If you do, can you make sure the route stops at Joshua's Harvest Store in Ottery, they do THE BEST tea-cakes ever!

 

[Davidc]

Only trouble with Devon is that it very definitely isn't level!

Has some nice places to go though.

Tried to organise rides in Devon before - nobody ever wants to know

Unless anyone can prove me wrong
