Windthorn lane near Compton
(Preview)
After I finished a ride out I took this lane on my way homeward. Its been well and truly nobbled and had visions of being stranded there and found days later as a frozen corpse lol. Part way along there is now a deep bomb hole that my freeride only just managed to get through, its very deep and the bottom is j...

Birthday Bimble
(Preview)
Had a day off Friday (as it was my birthday  ) and had a 4 hrs bimble round some local lanes some of which I haven't ridden for a couple of years. Was surprised at the apparent lack of use of some and saddened at the 4x4 damage to others (which I won't post here). Sorry pics are all arse about

Monday Run tree spotting - day 2
(Preview)
Lovely sunny and eventually quite warm morning for the five of us today. Lots of water on all of the lanes but shock of the day was Watery Lane at Exton! (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...

Libby had other plans thoughand suggested that Seans ex Serrow should be fired up and taken out for a run. Lib...

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

NOT the Exeter Trial
(Preview)
I've been out again on my own version of The Exeter Trial today but I'm calling it THE EAST DEVON bit of a TRAIL instead Mrs Cubber decided that she would walk to East Budleigh and exercise our dog, Jedi so we dressed for the cold and set off. Jedi and Mrs Cubber decided they'd go via 192-177 and 192-176 to ge...

First run of the year. Wed 2nd Jan from Newton Abbot
(Preview)
After discovering that I only rode the CRM seven or eight times last year I was determined to ride more often and so the first run of the year was posted. The six replies for the five places available was resolved when Wezz had something come up and dropped out. Mattyboy deserves credit for making the rid...

I actually got out on the lanes!!! 30th November 2018
(Preview)
Four of us went on a bimble around the lanes in East Devon following on from recent storms and very heavy and persistent rain. My mate Jim Weedon (long time DTRFG member but has a low profile these days) organised the run and was lucky to have found the one dry day in between weeks of nasty wet and windy weat...

From 8 riders to 3 by the time we set off. Myself, Geoff and Nick. Just a few pics from Sunday. Did my usual route backwards because of tides at Lopwell but when we got there the river was running so high we had to ride the walkway anyway. Can someone turn the pics please and tell us what contraption that is i...

Having serviced and MOTd both machines Mrs Sidecar Trev and I had a trundle round our local lanes this morning. We spent last week in Spain so it felt a bit parky first thing, we put plenty on. We fuelled up and headed out through Holcomb and on to Dawlish, up long lane and then on to Ashcomb. We crossed the...

Now it is officially autumn with leaves falling along with temperatures the CRM 250 came out to play relegating the mountain bike to the shed now it is no longer stupid hot and now officially not too hot to trail ride.

Cornish Wet Slate Challenge - Ray's Trip Over The Border - HD Video
(Preview)
Back in June, Ray thought a trip to Cornwall would sort the men from the boys. Much rain fell, a few wrong turns were taken, and some grown men nearly wept. So, all things considered, another cracking day out. https://youtu.be/R0oEcXL2oF4

When needs must
(Preview)
I used to go out on my TTR quite a lot and started green laning in Devon on my Tiger Cub - but quickly changed. Over a year ago I sadly had to give up motorbikes. I sold my Suzuki 1200 after I sold my Cub and eventually I had to give up my TTR - a big wrench because I felt I'd lost my freedom. I was laid low because I no...

(Preview)
The steps placed by the water board below Conitor lane don't seem a shap edged or steep these days, but still demand a square approach into the lane. Rounding the bermed zigzags after Stubbins cross I disturbed a buzzard at lunch and had a close up view of the tiny package clutched in his claws as he whee...

Hampshire TRF, Dartmoor and Rain - Video
(Preview)
Back in March, Ray showed a few lads from Hampshire TRF around Dartmoor and kindly invited me along. I'd never seen so much water in the lanes and was soaked to the armoured codpiece with minutes. The old green smokers outlasted the KTMs and, rumour has it, the Hampshire boys decided to stay another ni...
