after having a few people pull out and the weather this morning being awful i was left on my own to have some fun in the lanes and go big puddle hunting
all 202 lanes 217,230,231,224,
225 wasn't to bad
onto 218,195,196,306(bit slippy)
then 179,171,172,180,173,302,174,175,1777,176,149,148,147,141 then 142 deep but passable
on to 131,132,133 then 143
and 144, i did have a panic in the mid of this one as its very deep.
quick fuel stop in totes and a nice chat to a fellow biker on a ducati 1198 looking to get in to green laneing, pointed him to the devon trf.
on to 123,311
then 097, now there could be a few issues with 096(brownstone farm) i put that up in the ROW section.
onwards to 130(nearly over the bars)
off to 122,121,120,127,129,171,179,178,196,195,194,193 then home.
i had a great day on my own, the weather was beautiful and very fresh.
i will say anyone going out be careful the lanes are very washed out, i did this same run 5 weeks ago, and it was fairly easy going.
no so today my arms have taken a lot of abuse today and I had my heart in mouth more than once,BE CAREFUL the lanes are not the same.

Good one Dave. You are absolutely right to alert people to the way the landscape has changed in places recently thanks to the weather. I cancelled a ride yesterday on finding my airbox wasn't sealing and needed replacement. Don't think I would have made it through half of those lanes. Good to go now, find out how good tomorrow as we will be doing several of them.
Great pics and write up. The Okehampton lanes have dramatically changed and alot very washed out so the ride on Sunday was very different to our normal one. Its amazing how much they can change with the bad weather and amount of water.
