Cheddar Gorge

SO...I had to drop off a friend of my wife's at Bristol Airport at 0 dark stupid, so I figured to detour through the Gorge on my way back.

Negatives...0515 in the morning...

Positives...No one on the road

It was epic as I just hit the 1200 mile point and I really let the 335 run...

Man does the exhaust sound nice reverberating off the canyon walls. Just thought I would share

Nope. Sounds dirty!

I may have to try it my next road trip in that area.

On a completely different note, anyone thinking about a meetup in the South West anytime soon?

At least your MPG won't be in single digits when storming B-roads!

Drives like that make the 0330 start worth it.

Forgot to mention that I scared the bejebus out of a cyclist going up the gorge (at that hour!) when I went by at about 6000 rpm!

I may be in. Have to de-conflict with work. I'll post on the meet thread later this week if I'm in.
