As mentioned in my recent ride report there is a large tree down at the Southern end of this lane. It is passable if you manhandle the bike over it but it was a struggle and took more than one person per bike

A couple of weekends ago a small group of us were thwarted by fallen trees at Ashcombe.

Hi Guys, I have used John T for years in Newton Abbott, unfortunately he is not doing MOT's. Any recommendations for MOT's on trail bikes around Torquay, I know John Tremlett is popular but was looking for somewhere a bit closer if possible. Thanks

When I saw a rabbit sitting bolt upright in the middle of the road I wondered why it was behaving strangely, on hearing me approaching it hopped away into the hedge.
