Yep gutted this is off...

I even cancelled the days off I booked for it, I'll be off work anyway as it happens but it's almost getting back to normal from the 29th, still be part time for a few weeks tho...
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

I wasn't in the mix for this, but it's always sad when a major get together fails for no fault of the participants. :(

Hmmm, what sort of time and where?
I have a tank of petrol that needs flushing through with some fresh stuff......

Wales is always good.
If no,t there is always the Mendips to have a play in. I don't think Wales is opening up until the middle of July. I did a good route yesterday around the Cotswolds' just following my nose. Not too sure where I was but if you put a triangle over Swindon, Bristol and Gloucester, I was somewhere in all of there at sometime.
I don't know any good routes closer down towards Poppers but I don't mind traveling.

I couldn't do a 200-300 mile day any time soon, bikes either have the wrong tyres, not enough tyre or are too uncomfortable for that long.
I could do 150 miles.. if it's just for the riding and it could be a fair few miles why not just have a meet up and we can all have a good ride to the meet point..

Fishermans cot pub in Bickleigh near Tiverton is good (we stopped there one year), I can make a good ride there, I'm sure Pete can find an interesting route. Might be a bit far for AL though ?
Open to suggestions on meet up place though.

Soz.
A really busy couple of days.
I’d be happy to come down. I had a quick look on the pub website and they are still shut but I guess we’ll need a fuel stop or two so we can always pick up a drink along the way

Weather here looks sh1t Saturday so that's not going to work, and Sunday I have to do family stuff apparently :(

It's typical, working all week when the sun is out and hearing all the bikes out all through the day (is every body furloughed except me!) but it will be thunder storms when I have a day off

I was working in Surrey Yesterday, it was boiling. Too hot for biking really though , My car thermometer was reading 45c after being left parked in the sun for most the day!
Yey for aircon :P
