    Right then boys and girls as it's less than 2 weeks away here's a heads up .Public car park next to Mc Donalds Minehead Saturday April 3rd .930 for a 10 am roll out .I f you were there last summer you'll remember a cracking day .So more of the same .Slog to Dunkery can be left out if you want .Keep in the fun bits Stoke Pero descent to Horner Water .Going to add a bit of a climb up Grannys to take in more sweet descending .Eats at the tea garden at Horner(she'll be open weather permitting ) .Sublime singletrack from Selworthy Beacon down North Hill to finish .Oh and an option of fish n chips on the beach at the end .Sound ok ?If so stick yer name down need to warn the tea garden lady how many roughly to expect .
    So come along and say cheerio to the old bugger before he sets off for 5 months of hell in Whistler ! 😀

    I've got a freedom pass that day and have been wondering where to ride. This sounds like fun, albeit quite a hike from oxon, but then that's why alarm clocks (and children) were invented. I wonder if it's mad to try and drive that far on a bank holiday. Hmm

    just realised this is the easter W/E, i might have other plans and as said above M5 from Worcs to there on a BH doesn't appeal much 😕

    It's quite hilly, but the pace is very sociable with no one left behind or make to feel awkward. Last summer's STW Exmoor Safari was my favourite group ride of the year.

    I'm keen. Depends on the bird and her plans for Easter.

    Every time you post about this, I have to balance the moral scales against leaving someone who's flown around the world to see me. It's a close run thing 😳

    Andy – bad luck but hope you won't be working or anything silly like that!

    Can we have a "what tyre for Exmoor" thread please? I'm sort of not using tubeless now so as I can be a tyre tart 🙄 Wimmin's logic innit?
