Back from my holiday... - Grahamm - 10-08-13
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.

Lol! Actually, at the moment, I'm verging on having scheduling issues with several young ladies already without adding to my workload

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)
