Exmoor Ride out

Postby popsky » Tue Apr 06, 2021 4:34 pm

On the cancelled Boxertrix weekend this year I’m proposing a day ride out on Saturday 8th May this year. I’m thinking of revisiting the washed out south west ride out from a couple of years ago but only if the weather is favourable, anybody interested ? I’m thinking meeting at Wellington Square Minehead 9.30-9.45 am leaving at 10am prompt.
1st stop Withypool tea room,
lunch Lynmouth,
Tea at Crediton back at Minehead for 5-5.30

Jumping the gun I think, Hotels not open and finding self contained at a reasonable price isn't happening. Oh well seemed like a good idea at the time.

That’s the reason it’s just advertised as a day ride Peter, but leave it with us we may know of something

As the Tour Manager for a well know motorcycle club the Premier Inn in Minehead is open to business guests, especially those specking possible venues for future group gatherings and at £29 a night CHEAP. Problems I can see, no secure parking on site, and no breakfast lunch or dinner come to think of it no beer either, forget it m8 hopeless

The weather forecast is terrible for Saturday every weather app give’s 100% rain all day so I’m not going to be running the days ride.

Why not? It would bring back memories of the last one :wink:

Cheers,

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
