I've just spent a week in North Devon (Croyde) for my annual surfing and biking holiday and had a rather good time.
Getting there from Portsmouth I take the A36 to Salisbury, then the A30 down to Exeter followed by the A377 up to Barnstaple which is a lovely bit of road.
Interesting thing happened on the way down: Somewhere on the A30 I noticed another bike behind me, but I lost them on some of the twisty bits after doing overtakes, but later I got held up in traffic in a village and noticed them coming up behind me again.
I set off once more, lose them, but then get stuck at traffic lights and a while after, they reappear...!
This goes on for a couple more times until I got stopped by some more lights and the rider filters up alongside me, flips up her visor and asks where I'm going, so I say I'm going to Exeter then Barnstaple and she says she's heading up to Taunton.
Then, surprisingly, she says "Awesome riding!" (I was reasonably happy with it, but I felt some bits were a bit ropey, however I'll accept the compliment...)
So we head down the A30 again until she turns off up to Taunton, but it was a nice bit of biking cameraderie :)
Oh and later on in the week I rode the A39 from Barnstaple to Minehead via Lynton, Lynmouth and Porlock, a road that has more twisty bits than a very twisty thing, followed by a lovely ride back across Exmoor.

never great returning from holidays but I know that area and it is good biking territory.

Unless we see pictures then I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I bet it was a fat guy on a Harley which is the only reason you lost him on the twisty bits :b
Only joking, good on you and glad to hear you had a good holiday 8)
