Christmas Eve ride out
(Preview)
It seems a very long time ago, almost a different world away now, but here is the result of our Christmas Eve ride out for the Devon Air Ambulance. This letter was sent to Chris and Jacki, but they were already in New Zealand by then, and subsequently got stuck there. The good people of Totnes, once accost...

Sat 29th South East Dartmoor Run
(Preview)
No takers but I went anyway. Could have done with someone to open the fifteen gates though.The clear waters in North Bovey ford hid a deep well just before the beach and the crm foundered but restarted easily. Beware the dark deep bit.Between the cattle grid and the gate on Bonehill Down lane a large int...

Best of 2020 Video
(Preview)
https://youtu.be/3fndqUye-gc Having released last year's video to stunned silence on 21st Jan 2019, now seems the appropriate time for another dose of jollity and incompetence. We didn't get out much last year but, when we did, we enjoyed ourselves. HD and high volume recommended.

Suspicious Rock Placement
(Preview)
Evening all. The last few times I have been across Ridge Road Stokeinteignhead I have noticed some rather odd looking rocks placed along sections of the lane. They have mainly been quite small but awkwardly placed to force you to swerve to avoid them or stop and move them. I was out on my Beta on Saturday...

Trees Down over lanes
(Preview)
Not sure where to post this as I don't have access to the Lane Clearing section. Went out and rode a few lanes yesterday, and came across two fallen trees over lanes. Too big to lift and shift. 192-231 192-207

a sheepish tale ....
(Preview)
Whilst out on my ebike on the moor the other day I spotted a sheep in an odd position in a bog near Butterbrook. Closer inspection revealed that it was well and truly stuck and wasn't getting out on its own. It had a very heavy fleece which was waterlogged and could get no purchase with it's feet to get out. S...

Saturday 14th ride report. A tale of 2 tyres. Not east of east Devon
(Preview)
After failing to get on a Doug's ride out in east Devon, the only thing to do was sort one out for myself. Steve had already expressed an interest and another not going to east Devon was John. There was a bit of interest from others but bike repairs and husbandly duties prevailed. So to quote Genesis 'th...

The beginners ride that wasn't
(Preview)
After having no takers for my beginners ride from Bishopsteignton I descided to go for a run across the moor with Steve, who is definitely not a beginner. We met at 0900hrs with a good weather forecast, full tanks of fuel and some chocolate bars. It was interesting later on to find out who had used the l...

As we hadn't been out for a while, because of the bad weather and going away on holiday, myself and the current Mrs Foxon decided to have a wobble around the lanes to blow away the cobwebs. We stayed local to have a chance to survey the lanes in our manor. After the string of storms we have had recently it wa...

(192-158) The car has gone, and so has all the water. Trees have been cut back and many tons of chippings (or whatever they used) have been laid almost up th...

My 2nd run of the year. Sunday 13th from Newton Abbot

Unusually I am writing this while the run is actually taking place, without me. The run filled up within hours of being posted, but you know what they say about the best laid plans..... Mattyboy said he would be there like a shot but a prearranged bondage session took priority, well he said he was tied up...
