Young children mean getting out at the weekend is a virtual impossibility for me, but as I'm in North Dorset I'm always interested in the South West threads. So, a register of interest in the Feb or March dates, but marginal and short notice whether I ride.

Suggestions
Meet up somewhere remote make your own way there and back.
Dartmoor again N to S. :-bd
Exmoor from Minehead.
Exmoor from Taunton via Quantocks.
Mendips (bivvi on Priddy Green)
Devon C2C
Explore the WSM to Winchester route (doesn't look that interesting)
Start Bristol explore canals and river over to Bath maybe start of K&A canal?
I would prefer circular route for parking getting to and from?
Somewhere further distance Brecons SDW?
Zazen - nothing happens next this is it.

Devon Dirt is posted for April 17.
Dont know if they do team entries but we could do a SWBB team - dressing as a bear optional but you ride alone if you do. :lol:

Exmoor from Taunton via Quantocks is sounding like a very attractive ride.
