Next weeks meeting cancelled as the pub will be closed. Perhaps, instead of going to the pub you could all take your tools to your local lane and do a bit of pruning. See you in October Trevor
Wednesday evenings activity Tons of hedge pruning's left on the ground, two of our mates picked up as much as possible but it was getting dark & time was running out, I'm happy to return and lift some more if there is support for this? Devon TRF has been in 'Rock lane' before, many moons ago cutting b...
Out with Neil on Sunday around south hams. It was remarkable to note how many lanes have changed from loamy slippery surfaces to washed clean boulder gardens and exposed slate. They need a whole different riding technique and suspension settings. any tips on surviving our new environment? Im even t...

I bought my CCM MT 230 from Nathan who runs a kind of Holiday/experience/bike testing outfit in Braunton. The MT230's were left over from a CCM military contract and Nathan acquired them and sold them off as beginners green laning bikes. My main attraction was the price and 825mm seat height, as I am...
Just a heads up for anyone in the area who can deal with it. A report via GRM from a Hampshire member, of a tree down on Stonebarrow Lane, there is an easy-ish ride around as demonstrated in Jack's recent video @ 2:03 post up if you can help...

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...

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...
