My bike is same age as you, it gets thrashed to within an inch of its life, thankfully it is easy to repair and parts are readily available. Just wish it was a little quieter though. |

"What time you think of and things thanks "
Hello you, I think because there's been little response, we're just going to meet up with some "non fab" friends somewhere.  |

Nice ride out, forest traffic not too busy. Quite a few bikes at the Quay, no one from Fab it seems was there, or my ugly mug scared them away.
Stopped at the museum on the way back, again not that busy. Best bit was getting home to find the roads just drying out, thankfully missed a couple of heavy downpours. |

West Bay in Devon is always a hood spot to stop at. Usually loads of bikes there nice beach and a few places to eat. Depends which way down through Somerset and Devon you fancy riding down. North somerset and Devon coast is great. |

Sailing in the Solent was ace during the hot weather, now it is time to get the bike out.
Not sure what the weather is going to be like this weekend, but I expecting to be able to ride out. Haven Cafe, Air museum, Compton Abbas etc, not sure what is open these days. Anyone have a preference. |

Thanks for the tips. We ended up going through the Cotswolds and took in the South Devon coast from Exeter to Plymouth, met a few bikers on the Barbican at Capn Jaspers great location. Came back via the S Wales valleys, and central wales. Great ride. Will try you suggests next time we ride that way ?? |

"Wow, sounds more like a tour than a ride out. Looks like you took a great route there and back. "
we thought a biking road trip would be better than a foreign holiday this summer. It was a great tour. |
