The planned ride today was to show Damian Benwell around our wonderful countryside on two wheels as he's got himself another laner (small one this time, DRZ400) but unfortunately Damo had to cancel due to something urgent that needed his attention. Bob Wilkinson was also lined up to join us and he was...

Big thanks to Justin Gibbs for sorting out the running issues with the Beta, plus a top end refresh, new piston etc, plus revalving the front forks. So as soon as I got her home we had a little 70 mile loop of all the lanes on the moors, WOW what a difference the revalve has made, so much smoother on the rock...

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...

Saturday morning and myself (CRF250L) and Lee (AJP PR7) arranged to meet up and explore some of the lanes local to us in East Devon. We met up at my place and had a look over the map and decided on a very rough route - at this point I should add that I'm new to both motorcycling and trail riding and Lee although...

Nice Tavy, Lydford run today, around 130miles and lots of decent lanes, we even did peek hill which we used to call the Toughest lane in Devon, I dont think Ive done it for over three years and it didnt look like anyone else had either a bit of clearing was needed at the start and finish,it got us puffing a b...

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.

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.

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...

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

So todays rideout didnt quiet go to plan but we still did most of the lanes planned, albeit if it took us a little longer than it was supposed to. 130 miles and up past North Tawton, lunch stop on the way back at Whiddon down. Thanks to Geoff Kelly for sharing the leading So i dont have many photos of lanes as t...

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...

Hi All Tree down on Ridge Road Stokeinteignhead. I think its 202-35/36 forgive me as I am new to this. I only live 5 mins from here but I cant move it alone. More than happy to help out.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Here's a video featuring some of the good bits from 2018's laning outings. Watch carefully and you may spot (amongst others) SamHB, Bombx3, Kleenex, SmiffyWR, Kiwi Craig, Jeff and FBF doing their best to look incompetent. It's 17 minutes long. Good luck. https://youtu.be/fLAUBKc8lMM
