Another Excellent Devon Storm weekend, thanks everyone for coming along and helping make it what it is :D

So we didn't have amazing sunshine all weekend but we avoided getting wet as the only real rain started just as we pulled into a café, sat it out for half hour and carried on, some wet roads (not soaked) and then it dried out.

Great weekend, haven't laughed so much in ages.

Thanks all🤗
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Indeed another fantstic weekend...

Ok the weather was a bit merrrhhh but as said we didn't get soaked so it was alright...

Malc did another fantastic job of organising, stocking the chalets with tea, coffee, sugar & bog roll...& of course a huge thank you to Sue for another marvelous chilli on arrival...

Only trouble was by the end of the second night the alcohol & Tonys constant jokes turned Malc into a Zombie for some reason...

Image

Al on the other hand is a Zombie...maybe he had bitten Malc...In an effort to gain some weight on his legs... :lol: :lol:

Image

I did remember my spare key & at least I could find it when/if it was required...Eh Tony 'Key' Mon's as he will be known from now on...

Yep the worst we avoided by diving in to a cafe so all was good & we got a 10% bikers discount which was nice...

Image

As you can see it was a bit grey...

Image

Then once Fabio had got McQ out of his motah...

Image

He got to drive it home...

Thanks to Malc and his missus for a great weekend, sorry for leaving so early on Sunday, couldn't put up with the snoring anymore.

Wanted to get in front of the weather.

Another great weekend, and now waiting for the next.

glad I had yesterday off work to try and recover ... went to bed at 9 last night to try and catch up on sleep, but still feeling wrecked today ........getting too old for all this all weekend drinking :lol:

bazza, glad you got home dry & safe, but next time you need to come out riding :D

Pete, not sure I want to hear about your vigorous hand washing technique. but glad you returned your brothers safely, I hope the emotional damage was not too bad.

So...835.3 miles from MacCave to Ho! & back...

£113.71 of hard earned* spondolicks later

88.74 ltrs of go go juice at an average of 1.289 per ltr...

42.8 MPG. Not bad me thinks, it must be all the M-way miles that keep the mpg up, shame I now need to add new tyres to the costs, one very squared off rear...hahaha


* a lot of mice & cockroaches died to pay for this... :lol: :lol:
