Morning fellow riders :)

Planning to make the most of this bout of great weather, so me and a few buddies will be going for a ride out tomorrow!

After a suggested place to ride - I usually 'do' Wales and the Brecons, but I've done that route so many times now, although it is enjoyable still, I think the other guys might be bored of it now.

Starting point is Swindon, and a 300-400 mile round trip is what I'm looking for, would love to avoid motorways completely, and lessen the amount of dual carriageways. Nice A and B roads are the order of the day :D

So any tips? I'm going to jump onto Google now and check routes from Hereford, Ross or some other places, possibly Wales.... maybe South Coast.... maybe Devon/Cornwall.... the UK is our oyster!

P.S. Anyone is welcome to come actually, we will be setting off from George White in Swindon around 8:30 :)

There is LOADS (caps needed for this one!) to do in/around Torquay.

Don't forget Teignmouth/Dawlish/Exeter, or t'other side of this part of Devon. Which consists of Kingsbridge & Salcombe, this bit is all very 'smugglers cove' & quite different in atmosphere i.e. it's a lot quieter & less commercial.

Completely forgot to come back and say 'thanks' :D

Rode the Salisbury route in the end, but took a detour down to Lyme Regis, and after Exeter the A379 through Dawlish, then the B3199 through Teignmouth - brilliant ride in the end, about ~420 miles in total :)
