I bought my CCM MT 230 from Nathan who runs a kind of Holiday/experience/bike testing outfit in Braunton. The MT230's were left over from a CCM military contract and Nathan acquired them and sold them off as beginners green laning bikes. My main attraction was the price and 825mm seat height, as I am...

Hey all, Ive been trail riding for a couple of years now and recently started documenting my rides more seriouslyphotos, short videos, even interviews with fellow riders. One challenge Ive come across is getting consistently high-quality visuals that actually reflect the atmosphere of the ri...
Great weekend away at 'The Dirty Weekend' on the enduro bikes. Thought we'd try something a bit different so booked this last year but it's come around quickly. A weekend all about bikes, camping and good food. We set off early afternoon Friday but it took and age to get to our destination at Hollyco...
I booked on to this as my mate Glenn is from Worthing in West Sussex and he comes down to Devon all the time. Obviously we have the best lanes, and the highest lane density, so who can blame him. I was looking for an excuse to go to his part of the world and see if there was any good riding to be had - my assumption...

Heading to Plymouth take the Buckfastleigh turning and immediately left is a byway. It looks like it should be easy, but steep, with lose rocks, its a nasty little ***! I think I pinched the tube on it, running 14 psi, as I got a flat soon after. I have a Bullit 500, excellent grunty engine for this kind o...

TET day 1 today - Section 5 (and a bit of 6) We were down for brekkie at the hotel in Pomferrada by 8am and were gone by 9:30. The sun was up and the temp on the bike said 21 degrees. We had a short commute on the motorway - which felt more like 15 degrees as opposed to 21 - to get to our planned start of the TET which...
