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.....

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...

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...

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...

Solo run. Most of the moors lanes in the morning, then lunch at Bovey tracy then on to Kingsteignton, Ashcombe, Starcross, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Rocombe, Totnes and home. 117 miles bloody awesome. 202-350 Just along from Spitchwick. Thought I'd just chop this one out the way Bovey Ford L...

Little ride out for myself and Damian at the weekend. From Ivybridge through Tavistock up to Lydford and back via Lopwell

Pete · Pete

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. Mike (Crumbles) was the only taker despite 10 days notice for the run and like me he duck...

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

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...

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...

Tim · Tim

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...

I had intended to post a run but Ray got there first and I took the easy option of following, for a change. Wheely saved us a great deal of hassle by pointing out the clash between our proposed itinerary and the Devon Dirt route and in order not to meet several hundred muddy mountain bikers we headed south i...

A little fun in the Devon snow.. the out takes are childish/funnier bits at 2:30 :D In the video window click top right and best quality available.. Clicky Linky

Pete · Pete

Trev said he was going to look at the snow and I was glad of an excuse to ride in atrocious conditions. Winds of 40 to 50 mph making the maximum temperature of - 2 degrees feel more like - 10 coupled with persistent snow to make even a short run feel like an adventure. My neighbours lined up to see us off. Holb...

I was asked to put on a run for a couple of members of the West of England Motor Club and invited Trackman to join myself Jim and Neil.

After much deliberating, 3 of us decided to head to Salisbury for the organised charity ride. That said, the night before the other two jacked, not to be put off, I was at my mates yard at 06:45 nicking his trailer so I could still go! 2 hours later I arrived at the pub parking, with 15mins to spare before th...
