Today’s Dartmoor biking extravaganza got off to a poor start as the weather at the Warren House Inn was misty & bloody cold 😕 which came as a big shock to someone like me who had driven up from very sunny & warm Cornwall.

The 9 riders duly assembled only a tad behind the start time for the off – note the top jackets to keep warm

regrouping at the bridge to far

today ‘bitemebryn’ was really on it sadly closely followed by really off it 😕

the lunch stop at Hound Tor & a burger from the ‘Hound of the Basket Meals’ van – yum yum – I wonder if I could put this photo in this weeks competition for ‘birds’

it’s funny who you meet out on Dartmoor these days & we bumped into Sharki & Si

At the finish & all smiles 😀

Many Thanks to those who turned up for today’s ride it was good to meet you all & I hope you had a good time.

fantastic ride thanks les..really enjoyed it.
I think i may be a bit tired for tomorrow at Haldon.
Sorted my extremely creaky bike out too…yet again the bb cups have come loose?

Glad you enjoyed the route Carl & I’m stoked too 😕

I’ve got my middle ring off ready to be replaced on Tuesday.

Cheers for a fantastic ride crispy. And as most predicted, the shower was emotional when I got home! Thanks to all who went and made me feel so welcome, appoliges again for the slight delay in getting there.

bmb, nice to met you buddy, forgot to say we are starting to ride haldon on friday nights if you are interested in joining us, mainly cheeky stuff and from around 5-6pm, my mail is in my profile if you need to get hold of me.

Love that decent from Manaton to the bridge to far… 😀

Looks like another good ‘un Les.. glad you all had a good day..
