I have been riding my trusty steed 2007 honda CRF 250x for 5 years since passing my test. It has never given problems that's not really just wear and tear/serviceable. I would be sad to see it go but I'm considering a 2 stroke but should I?. Only ever tried a couple out across a field. I'm currently on an A2 l...
I've had an email from a Somerset rider suggesting that there is now a Public Footpath sign at the eastern end of 181-041. I cannot find any notification of this, and all the Devon County Council records still show it as a UCR, and with no footpath coming off the route further up, it's not a sign requirin...

The bike training continued on Friday with a bit more weight added to Frank to practice for the upcoming trip. The lanes were in a good muddy condition. The trees in this lane were covered in this very green moss and what sunlight there was illuminated them. Little Haldon I do like a good wall. Cons...

A couple of weeks ago on a fairly innocuous reasonably smooth not too steep slope covered in leaves I failed to notice exposed roots spreading across the trail from a tree like spokes from a hub and was completely surprised by my front wheel skittering sideways out from underneath me. I was astonished...
Up early for brekkie again and one of our friends from Essex tells us his watch is saying its zero degrees outside and when we stepped out of the hotel I think his watch was right! It was Baltic and it even started snowing as we were gearing up. Still, fortune favours the brave. Today's route headed NE ini...
So, day one of our adventure is complete and what a fantastic days riding it was! Nothing technical at all really but nice long lanes that were covered at a moderate pace and fantastic scenery with rolling landscapes and wide open expanses, just glorious. The day started early with brekkie at the hot...

Having gone for a Honda cb500x as my project adv bike I changed several parts and added some tyres. I couldn't afford or justify the Rally raid conversion so went my own way with the modifications. I put some Continental tk 80 on which worked quite well until it got muddy or rutted. Then the 17 inch fro...
