I should be up for a ride, prefably Tuesday or Wednesday morning, or anytime Saturday. There may be a nightride at Haldon on Thursday evening with other STWers if the weather isn't too atrocious. Whereabouts are you staying?

E-mail in profile in case of Downtime thingy going on for days.

might want to keep an eye on the weather.
Building up where I am now, blowy and rain set in, continuing tomorrow. Friday meant to be bad and also significant rain over weekend with flooding. Not sure what happens after w/e but it's going to be wet for the next few days.
Moor might be soggy, Haldon will take it though.

Good choice of location considering the weather ๐Ÿ™‚ I'll double check my work diary and get back to you ASAP. I suspect that TM will probaly be at work that day. Have a good weekend. BTW, how long a ride did you have in mind?

sugwash - bagpuss said to me:

"Hi,

Good work. I'd suggest starting at Burrator as you end on a downhill not a climb. If starting from Princetown then I reckon I'll be there shortly after 12.15. Got to drive up from Plymouth and pick up bike on the way.

You been out that way before?

Rough as here now, forecast force 10 or 11 in the Channel. Awesome outside, glad I'm in here.

Chris"

I'm not a local myself so i'll go with starting at Burrator, i think we should see how it pans out in the day as to how long we ride as weather is pretty bad right now. I'll probably be away from internerd from Mon or Tue but i'll mail you both my mobile number. M

SNAPS - ok, keep an eye on this thread, i'll be able to access internet from local library, so we can all keep in contact. Surely after all this rain it must actually stop at some point???????????
