They already have 260 entrants, and are expecting 300 or so. Timing is 11am til 4pm, more details to follow. Check the link below for more inf...
Went for a spin down the Teign using the long sloping ridge lanes with splendid views over the river. Crossing the river bridge and the town beyond a concrete ford led to the next lane where a deeper ford precedes a steep rocky climb. A long lane took me to a another stringing down the hill. At the end of the...
I've got the chance to buy a very clean 2000 exc smoker. Just wondering if anybody has owned one? What are they like to ride? How do they compare to more modern 2 stokes? Cheers mark
Is there a good time of year to buy a decent second-hand bike haha? Sold the beta XTrainer last year and fancy a change from the 4 stroke husky. Managed to save some monnies enduro news has a few advertised miles away and eBay is a minefield!

Judging by the piece we have, it would be about 10-12 inches in diameter - if it is a full cog, might be part of a back 'n' forth mechanism rather than a round 'n' round? It's a whopping 1 inch thick an...

There were non asphalt roads everywhere many of which are shown on the OS map as "other" road. I didn't see any prohi...
One of the South Wests premier enduro tracks is now even better. We have added a large open field to the venue. This means that in addition to the technical woods riding, the fast fire tracks, the steep ascents and descents, and a stream run, there is now the opportunity to have a blast around the fields a...
Two strokes in the drizzle Only one other rider replied to the post amongst the runs/rides out on the forum and Sparkie86 was waiting when I arrived to fuel up. His orange 300 two smoke complemented my red 250 stroker perfectly and we puttered along 202-028 carefully crossing the road part way before a...
I didn't offer to lead a ride out of the goodness of my heart, it was just a ploy to get someone else to come along to open and close all of the gates on the moorland lanes I wanted to ride. Five riders names went on the list of unwitting gate volunteers and four turned up at the appointed hour. We did wait 15 min...
