answering a call for help when our Cornish cousins gave up for various reasons. 6 of us assembled at the beautiful Boconnoc estate on Friday to help set the course for Endurance GB around the grounds of this stately pile. After loading up with flags and tapes we set of with our mentor Geoff to set 3 course...
Fabulous day spent doing a lot of Devons best lanes, Twitchen, Snapper and Hollocombe town included! Started at Morchard Bishop 135 Miles 46 Lanes Plenty of dust!
Just a quick thank you. Was out around the Exmouth area with friends from the Oxford TRF and amongst the lanes we did with Chris were Ham Lane and another one not far away the name of which I cannot remember where a lot of work had been put in to create some rock steps where the lane had been washing away durin...

192-146 river crossing next to Devon hard woods. Went for a walk this weekend down this lane where we have ridden through quite often. Unless I have got the route previously wrong there now seems to be a locked gate. Correct me if I'm wrong. But not sure where the proper track would be if its not there. See...

(We are now on our Ninth working party visit) Unfortunately the Devon TRF were out numbered and in the minority at this months meeting with only m...
I thought it would be nice to put together a piece on Devon TRFs history. For example, who started it, who was there at the beginning. Are they still here now. When was it formed. Where did they meet. I think it would be fitting to recognise the people who set this up so their efforts are not forgotten. If an...
We have been approached by the British endurance horse riding association . That's not not their name but that's what they do. They have asked for help setting up the courses for the events (approximately 6 per year) This will involve following a map and marking a course with tape and flags for someti...
I am happy to say that Devon TRF have been asked to provide some riders for The Boconnoc Ride, an Endurance GB National Event. We need two more riders to join the four that have already stepped up to set out the tracks on the Friday (32km loop, 16km loop and 8km loop), and then marshall and recover the track...

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...

I want to park somewhere near here Dropped pin https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZRirfM3dWdWd1UQe6 To cycle to redlake. Any locals with a suggestion ? Thanks Roger
As the title says. Current wheels are 8" and have 4.80/4.00-8 tyres fitted. So I'm looking for either a pair of wheels & tyres of any size (as long as they will fit those hubs), or a pair of rims that will fit the hubs and those tyres. Anyone got any sat in their garage before I go buy new ones?
