After chatting to the house holder at 'lower lye lane' yesterday, she thought we were clearing lower lye lane for the motor bike ride coming through, I said what ride.... At least we cleared the green road for the users on 10th August Sara received the letter in morning on the same day we were there, fun...
Jack D & myself will be attending 'Ullacombe lane" 192-010 at 6pm Wednesday 30/7/25 East Devon S.E. of Smeatharp, much debated lane in the past, with tons of involvement (one way or another) from the Devon group... DCC PRoW spent some monies on the green road at the lower end about 3 yrs ago, so it wo...
Hey all, Ive been trail riding for a couple of years now and recently started documenting my rides more seriouslyphotos, short videos, even interviews with fellow riders. One challenge Ive come across is getting consistently high-quality visuals that actually reflect the atmosphere of the ri...
Great weekend away at 'The Dirty Weekend' on the enduro bikes. Thought we'd try something a bit different so booked this last year but it's come around quickly. A weekend all about bikes, camping and good food. We set off early afternoon Friday but it took and age to get to our destination at Hollyco...
I booked on to this as my mate Glenn is from Worthing in West Sussex and he comes down to Devon all the time. Obviously we have the best lanes, and the highest lane density, so who can blame him. I was looking for an excuse to go to his part of the world and see if there was any good riding to be had - my assumption...

Is Steve Race, the MP for Exeter your MP? If he is please could you contact me with some urgency. It is important that he receives some correspondence, via as many of you as possible, from National TRF. Cheers Trevor
Apologies if been asked before, I did try a search I would like to buy new tyres for my recently purchased Crf250rx I have seen Michelin Anakee Wild tyres, are these any good. I am recently sitting in Borilli racing soft endure tyre on the rear and the road ride home was awful so I am hoping it is the trye ...
Heading to Plymouth take the Buckfastleigh turning and immediately left is a byway. It looks like it should be easy, but steep, with lose rocks, its a nasty little ***! I think I pinched the tube on it, running 14 psi, as I got a flat soon after. I have a Bullit 500, excellent grunty engine for this kind o...

So, thats it. The adventure is over. Home now (to an absolute deluge of rain!!) after a total of 2150 (blindingly sunny) miles over 14 days riding ....... but WOW, what an adventure it was!!! Some of the highlights being..... rescuing Marc after his trip 'over the edge'. Admittedly initially it was a...
TET day 1 today - Section 5 (and a bit of 6) We were down for brekkie at the hotel in Pomferrada by 8am and were gone by 9:30. The sun was up and the temp on the bike said 21 degrees. We had a short commute on the motorway - which felt more like 15 degrees as opposed to 21 - to get to our planned start of the TET which...
ACT day 4 - Belver to Moura The day started early and we were ready for the off by 7:45am having decided to skip breakfast given the hotel seemed deserted but as we were loading the bikes and getting ready for the off (at 7:45) a lady turned up and given we were the only guests she came over to us and via the po...

My wife has recently passed her cbt and just before upgrading my single membership i wanted to take her for a ride around Honiton. she is not very happy with roads but keen to give greenlaning a go. Could someone who rides the Honiton area lanes regularly possibly help with a short route that will be easy...
ACT day 3 - Vale do Rossin to Belver (well actually Mantigas for us based on a lack of accommodation at the campsite at the end of day at Vale Do Rossim campsite) A long days ride today, a planned 235km (146 miles). Not too too much to say in this report other than these high points and low points ..... Lea...

Me and five Welsh mates planned to do the ACT Portugal route. We caught a ferry from Plymouth to Santander then did a road burn to Braganca which was the start of the ACT route. Upon reaching the Algarve the plan was to ride the Nacionale N2 road back up through the middle of Portugal and head into norther...

Howdy all. Running a ride next Sunday. Should be a scorcher. I havent ridden half of this before so it could be an adventure - therefore I wouldnt recommend it to absolute novices. All are welcome to come and give it a try though. Sun 22nd. 65 miles on the route, plus extra to get there. Lanes of north Dartm...
After a day of rest yesterday some of us were getting itchy boots so more riding was in order today. Me, Jules, Jase and Kirky planned to ride a few more trails on the TET out of Potes then loop back on the road then head out of Potes SW on a great mountain road to see the Granite Bear. We were on the bikes and go...
TET day 3 - Section 6 and 7 Julian was up early and given the cardboard construction of our camping bungalow his elephant footsteps had us all up with him (despite him saying he was tip-toeing he flippin' wasn't so we're sure that was his plan all along to get on the trails asap) We were dressed, bikes lo...
TET day 2 - continuation of Section 6 Another absolutely amazing day on the TET trails. We woke and were loaded up and gone from our digs by 08:15. The temp was much cooler being so far north and in the mountains and the top of the mountains were covered with cloud/ mist. Jules, Kirky and Jase all chose to...
Final day's commute from Portugal to the start of our TET adventures in the Picos mountains in Spain. Last night the talk was whether to bin off the rest of the N2 route up to Chaves as the most direct route then from Chaves in Portugal to Pomferrada in Spain was still an additional 3.5hr A-Road blast so f...
Day 2 commute on the N2 heading North - Couco (near Mora) to Ucanha (just south east of Lamego) Up early at the Ranch this morning for a lovely breakfast. They even had a mini panacake making and heating machine which I know my kids would have loved. Bikes loaded and we were off just after 9am and the weath...
Commute from Tavira on the N2 back up North - day 1 A leisurely morning was had at the Hotel Gala Tavira after completing the ACT route. A lovely breakfast then a stroll to the mall in an attempt to get a new GoPro case for Jules GoPro but they didn't have any in stock. Never mind, it was nice to stretch the le...
