Hi putting feelers out, does anyone usually head up to the great Christmas escape ride up on Salisbury plain. I have been the last 3 times excluding COVID years. But all my normal riding buddies can't make it this year. I was thinking of heading up but didn't really want to trek it on my own. If anyone woul...

I attended the basic training day organised by Somerset TRF at Binegar Quarry. A chilly but thankfully dry day turned out to be both highly educational and tremendous fun. The quarry was a great facility with a huge range of challenges. Dean and Anthony were great instructors who kept the pace and dif...
Morning all, Now a good few Moons ago I had a kit that turned any old jacket into a heated jacket, by literally sewing a heating element up an down the arms and body and had a cigarette lighter power adapter thing (hopefully not too technical as descrption) Any ways it was super easy, and worked an absol...
As John won't be at next week's monthly meeting where I'd intended under AOB, to ask him to tell us of his latest achievement, I'd thought I'd post some details up here, rather than miss the opportunity to say, 'Well done John'.Not everyone follows racing results, and not everyone would know that J...

Hi, should I flag deliberate lane blocking or just stop moaning. GRMUID 4977 Lane past St Wenns Cottage has two vehicles parked at the cottage so that the lane is blocked with no gaps for bikes. We came down the lane and needed a tricky u turn to go back up.This was more to warn others as a larger group wo...
I have looked on memory map and it seems you can buy 1.25k for £20 but it says only a years subscription. Does that seem right my uncle has had it on his old phone for years or once loaded on a device it will stay there once offline?. Ray sent me his 1:50k but seem to have disappeared aswell. Still unsure what...
