By sheer chance and dint of gnarly shoulder pain I just caught the tail end of the Countryfile Craven investigates discussion and lane access debate - didn't know that was coming up on the BEEB? In my view, it seemed to be agin motor propelled vehicles using lanes generally they interviewed some young...

Hope I find you all well. Apologies for buggering off for a while, been busy with work and College (studying for a Chef's Diploma) but having seen three or four guys on a run today whilst I was out for a ride (not far from Woodlands theme park), I realised that I missed this place. I see you're all still as da...
Petrol prices have hit a new high(along with studen fees and pretty much everything else under this CON~DEM coalition!!)Where is the most expensive and the cheapest petrol in Devon ?
My first green laning experience. I haven't ridden a bike on the softer surfaces since I was 15. Today I met JT in Honiton and he took me on a tour of some of his local lanes. He promised to go easy on me. As soon as we entered the first lane I was thinking what have I done, but I couldn't stop laughing either. ...
I can confirm Gary at albion does know and use the word "FREE" Whilst DHH and me where in the shop yesterday he used the term twice in in reference to a KTM wallet which may be given away "FREE" with some purchases. In reality in turns out that the TRF discount is worth more than the pr...
Good evening Sir, what can I offer you today? How about a gentle bimble along unsurfaced woodland roads for starters? Or maybe Sir would prefer a bit of singletrack amongst the trees? Could I tempt you with a few challenging climbs or a rutted descents to test your nerve and ability? We can tailor it to s...
Has anyone retired before Section 1 previously? I nearly dropped the bike twice on the way to red post pootling along Farthing lane at 08:45 which was all black ice and I nearly did the splits staying upright when a speeding 4x4 looked like it was intent on making road kill of me Got to Redpost signed on, s...
Not entirely sure if its a brilliant price?! However, I've been talking to an old contact and we've agreed a price of £50 per tyre (normally £63.00). So providing they are in stock @ Pirelli, I can get one next day (usually). If there is plenty of interest, I'd prefer to buy in bulk to save all the leg work...

Can someone help identify this lane please. Butty went through the ford and the rive...

How do you guys do it without having a bulkhead? I'm planning to take the bed section out of my T4 LWB so I can move my bike around. There should be enough space to put the bike in there diagonally but all the lashing holes in the body work are now covered. What I was wondering is how do you normally hold the bik...
Yes a few months ago had that 'unwanted' summons to the Crown Court to serve as a juror for 2 weeks. This started Monday and typically I was picked as one of the intial 18 to attend the court. The names then get shuffled and the top 12 have to sit on the jury for this case. I wasnt picked - phew. Next the jury wer...

There were a lot of riders out and about on Exmoor today, competing in the Neil Westcott Long distance trial. There were some pretty harsh conditions up here, with many roads still covered in frozen snow. I guess the dirt sections may have not been so bad, but well done to anyone who entered. I really did...
Had a quick blat out with Doug (thanks mate) and Lanza Dave this morning - holy cow I confess to questioning my sanity after the 1st 2-3 lanes but as the morning went on and the frostbite took hold all my extermitys went numb and the pain eased ..... Certianly focussed the mind riding on all that ice specia...
