Dear All John Leah is currently in hospital and unable to deal with any of the stuff he usually does for us. Please, if you have any requests or run reports to send to him, can you hold off until further notice. I will let you all know once he is back in the saddle. regards Trevor
Today I was led around the fabulous Cornish Countryside by Nick Pearn and joined by 6 other keen-to-ride friends...... although one, Dean, who was a new face to most of us had to peel off for home unexpectedly after only the first 30mins or so. Not quite sure why but he certainly missed a cracking day !!!...
Edit: I meant to say, I suspect this is not news to anyone as there were plenty of bike tracks on the trail.. I emailed this to Devon GRM, but thought users may be interested. I wanted to post in the overlay description forum but I am not allowed in there. I rode Dandy Lane 5229 just north of Exeter today. Th...

Does anyone know of an insurance company who can offer 1 days insurance to cover off road riding in Spain? Or can I add it to my existing policy? Voyager quoted me so much money, it makes the day trip not worth it.

So my ask is does anyone have any bits for th...
Just a long shot, does anyone have any straps off the old style Sidi boots (Crossfire), I'm trying to keep my old boots going long enough for my son to use until he can afford some new ones. Thanks in advance Trevor
Happy New Year folks. Here's a selection of some of the best bits from 2024's days out in Devon mud and filth. 20 minutes are required, and plenty of volume. If you love or loath, please comment on YouTube as (I'm told) it helps spread the word. https://youtu.b...
Some of us planning doing riding event weekend Yorkshire next year. Much like our event T2T, have a choice of Advanced taking on challenging climbs etc or Average, which one to choose? Has anyone ridden up there? Can't imagine anything worse than devil's steps, or is there?
Sorry this is off topic, would like to know what oil to buy, have searched the web and its a little confusing. Suggestions are 10w-30 or 10w-40 non detergent ?
What better way to work off the turkey than a bit of hard enduro ....... but as that wasn't available to us we settled for a spot of gentle trail riding instead. Just the three Amigos on this outing despite invites being offered to others who were otherwise engaged. We met at Ivybridge petrol station a...

Dave Clarke and I set off from S Molton car park. As usual. Very luckily for me, a very good friend let me have a plethora of routes and tracks from over the years!!! What an absolute cracker.

I have a CRF250 Rally Im willing to swap if that interests you. I value it somewhere between £3-3.5k. Obvi...
