[Midlifecrisis71]

Anyone fancy breakfast and a drive ?

I was thinking meet up at Route5 on Haldon Hill A38 near Exeter, next to esso petrol stn, opposite racecourse, at say 9.00/9.30 have some breakfast and then a drive out (to be decided on the morning depending on attendees). Home by lunchtime.

Ice is scary fun. Now fog I hate.

Ooow, I'll be up for this, only a few miles away from me.

Might give eating at the Route5 a miss, ate there a couple times before and eat time it was awful, but happily turn up for coffee, chat and then a drive.

To be honest I had heard the same from early tripadvisor posts, but I went to another car meet there recently and it was certainly as good as the other 2 sites they own. Its never gourmet, but for bacon & eggs its good enough and the car park/access are useful for a group.

That's a definite possibility.

I heard mixed reviews, that's why I tried it out but never been fully happy with it and the second time I ordered there (was a car meet with friends, couldn't say no) I found a magnet and plastic in my very under cooked chips, they claimed to make a "fresh batch" which came out the same but colder after 5 minutes of waiting.

I tend to go to Haldon cafe after riding up there, it's better in my books but I'll go where people are meeting, either way, would be good to meet up with new people around here.

No & Yes
Had a mechanical malfunction that needs a pricey and apparently rare part. Of course I have taken the opportunity to remap whilst its in the tuners.
