I have just come back from Spain. Dave and myself followed the river Ebro for a total of 1200 miles. Nearly all of that was off road. The going ranged from wide loose stone and gravel tracks to mountain goat territory (imagine 60 miles plus of up and down Tally Ho thats around lake Caspe). It was 600 miles d...

The smell of pine needles and wild garlic assaulted my sense of smell. The noise of the big KTM's assaulted my eardrums. The view before me was absouloutly stunning! It could only mean another day out on the trails with Taurus Trax was taking place. As we thundered up the mountain trail swooping alon...

I must apologies for not doing this report sooner as I've actually been busy recently for a change. Sprocket (Pete) of Dorset TRF advertised a run a few weeks ago which looked interesting as I'd been wondering what lanes lay to east of us.

Feeling that the Royal wedding really wasn't my cup of tea, I jumped onto a trip arranged by a friend and spent that weekend Green Laning around Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. The riding wasn't as challenging as our DTRF trip to mid Wales of a year ago due to the dry conditions but the scenery, the...

Austin Vince reckoned a Serow, TTR or DRZ ie Air cooled with long service intervals electric and kick start (try and bump a bike in sand!) and light enough to lift on a pick up truck.

Had a great trail ride with my bro' Trev led by our new chum Baz, a very competent run leader and rider. It was such a nice day with the sun shining and little wind that we were able to ride in race shirts and trousers with just a single wick-away layer underneath and still be warm. Not often we can do that at...

Good evening Sir, what can I offer you today? How about a gentle bimble along unsurfaced woodland roads for starters? Or maybe Sir would prefer a bit of singletrack amongst the trees? Could I tempt you with a few challenging climbs or a rutted descents to test your nerve and ability? We can tailor it to s...

So I finally got myself, what I hope will be, a good off tarmac and off the beaten track all rounder.
