InvictaMoto's Devall Boys!

As it is an early start I have booked a hotel locally through booking.com so that we can cut down the Saturday morning ride.  There is a hotel on that services but it is quite expensive. Having stayed a few times at motorway service hotels in the past, they are generally okay, but often expensive as they cater for a travelling audience that may well be on company expenses. I have booked into the hotel at the previous services!  It's cheap.  It means to join the run we have only 13 miles to ride before the run starts. The services will...
