Sadly, also can't make it cos I'm going on the Old Gits.  Typical, as I know lots of the roads, living in Tiverton.

A few of my local favourites, although some are possibly a little far out of your way, if starting in Minehead.
B3190 Bampton to Raleghs Cross
B3223 Simonsbath to Hillsford Bridge
A39 Kentisbury Ford to Barnstaple
A377 Barnstaple to Crediton
B3227 Newtown to Oakfordbridge
A3072 Crediton to Bickleigh

The A369 up to Dunster is an amazing road.
No wonder I couldn't find the A369 coz it's the A396  :azn: It's part of my route along with the A361. That's 2 of those roads ticked off  ;D

Darn sorry, always getting 96 and 69 mixed up!

I'm up for the first day. The route goes right passed me.

I'll meet you at the premier inn for the ride out in the morning.
I did think about staying overnight / booking in, but its only 30 miles away.

As Brian says please be punctual and arrive with a full tank. My start time is always 9.00 am but to be honest it's not unusual for the group to set off a few minutes early if everyone is ready to roll  :winkthumbs:

I'm in Rae! Well - for the first half of the ride.

It turns out I can make Monday all day & Tuesday daytime, but I need to be home for Tuesday eve, so no Devizes/Ashford for me.
I've booked the Minehead Premier Inn. Current price, for anyone else looking, is £56 if you opt for standard 28 days cancellation.

If you're coming down the scenic route, feel free to stop on the way. I'll be going down the Fosse Way and via Cheddar Gorge, for the lolz.
