*begging* Any chance of a lift up from Plymouth or Exeter St Davids? I've ridden from the station but I'm not a climber and it really took it out of me. *begging*.

Yeah, I can get you from St Davids sometime around 0900 - 0920 ish. Probably won't be able to drop u back though. Pm me.

Thanks but actually, change of plans, doing something with the uni club instead. Thanks for the offer though!

I did a couple of loops up there tonight, and it's as dry as a bone .

Did it rain there today?

No1 son was riding Octoberfest and it rained this morning, but everything had dried out by this afternoon when we went along to watch.

I was out on my horse when it rained. :roll:

It drizzled in Ottery this morning, so I guess the weather would have been similar in Exeter.
However, I went for a ride up on Woodbury this evening, and it's dry as a bone. So Haldon should be nice for tomorrow

Remember, 10am in the car-park for a 10.30am start.
I'll be on the drop-barred Ti thing, so easy to spot!

I'll be heading up as soon as I can, but doubt I'll arrive before 10:20.

Just got home.

I'll post a couple of pics later, but good fun ride, and we stayed dry. :mrgreen:

The rain started on my way home and the Fuquay practically washed itself while I unloaded the car.

Point to note for those that were not there, we have three... THREE retro laydee's. :mrgreen:

EDIT: Photo's added.

Good turnout!

Thanks Tom, and Martyn for letting me have a go on Barrys old bike!

Just a reminder there's a bike jumble in Exeter next Sunday - ask amedias for details.

That was excellent, thanks Tom for leading us around. Anyone notice that the only bike that broke was modern?

Yes, but we were all being polite in not mentioning it.
