Went to north Devon finally after planning a ride that was meant to happen over Christmas holidays but I got ill and had been put off up until now. We parked outside mole valley (North Devon tyres) south molton and had a a nice quick bap from the kenneford burger van. Unloaded and got to the roads in the l...
Hello guys I'm new to the group and look forward to meeting some people getting out for a ride. I've just picked up a second hand beta x trainer and whilst I'm getting confident with maintaining the bike I would ideally like to find a mechanic to give it a once over. Does anyone have a mechanic they coul...

Topics for discussion will be the up coming Teign to Tamar. and the organisation of the groups with their leaders and TECs. If you are leading a group or TEC it would be great to see you if you can make it....
So Day 2 and a South hams route, visiting two great beaches along the way, myself and Geoff Kelly met the Essex guys at Totnes and we set off towards Harberton, then Diptford, Wheeldon and Halwell, then on towards Woodleigh and South Milton, (beautiful beach) then into Kingsbridge for fuel and to pick...
For nearly ten years now, normally in March and November I have had the pleasure of show these guys around our beautiful lane, their base being at Tuckenhay at one of their brothers houses and a few staying in the pub. We have also shown them around the plains and Wales over the years. A great day, for day...
You may be familiar with these, I was not. A fully waterproof case BUT with the added bonus that you can run directly from our normal USB set ups. As per Sat navs.
Hi all The Grizzly is on again, so best avoiding the lanes and back roads around Beer, Seaton and Branscombe on Sunday, and be careful on the Saturday too as lots of people setting up the course.
Noel has managed to contact John son and he has updated us with his progress. John is still quite unwell and back in hospital. We wish him all the best and are thinking of him. As before he will not be able to process any requests. Trevor
Cant for the life of me find it, but am I right in thinking Somerset has a stash of Trackers for sale? Does anyone know who is the appropriate person to contact?

Dear All John Leah is currently in hospital and unable to deal with any of the stuff he usually does for us. Please, if you have any requests or run reports to send to him, can you hold off until further notice. I will let you all know once he is back in the saddle. regards Trevor
Today I was led around the fabulous Cornish Countryside by Nick Pearn and joined by 6 other keen-to-ride friends...... although one, Dean, who was a new face to most of us had to peel off for home unexpectedly after only the first 30mins or so. Not quite sure why but he certainly missed a cracking day !!!...
Edit: I meant to say, I suspect this is not news to anyone as there were plenty of bike tracks on the trail.. I emailed this to Devon GRM, but thought users may be interested. I wanted to post in the overlay description forum but I am not allowed in there. I rode Dandy Lane 5229 just north of Exeter today. Th...
Monthly get together at the Dolphin, Tuesday 14th January, Navigation evening This months gathering at the Dolphin will be an evening based on navigation around the lanes. Hopefully there will be some expertise, or at least some in depth knowledge, on what people use for electronic or indeed trad...
Does anyone know of an insurance company who can offer 1 days insurance to cover off road riding in Spain? Or can I add it to my existing policy? Voyager quoted me so much money, it makes the day trip not worth it.
Usually ride solo these days, but if anyone fancies a 10 day, 2 week, forever trip. Max 2 other riders. Must be a bit savvy, well prepped bikes, and able to have the "craic". It's a giggle. Plymouth Santander, head south for "as far as we get"! Everything flexible. Camp / wild camp, campsite when anyone...
Hi guys , so I've just acquired a Kawasaki klr it was used as a farm bike then left in a barn for 20 odd years, so I'm trying to get it running again and if it seems good I may try and restore it if I can get parts for it , or get it running and let my kids use it as a field bike ? So my ask is does anyone have any bits for th...
Just a long shot, does anyone have any straps off the old style Sidi boots (Crossfire), I'm trying to keep my old boots going long enough for my son to use until he can afford some new ones. Thanks in advance Trevor
Happy New Year folks. Here's a selection of some of the best bits from 2024's days out in Devon mud and filth. 20 minutes are required, and plenty of volume. If you love or loath, please comment on YouTube as (I'm told) it helps spread the word. https://youtu.b...
Some of us planning doing riding event weekend Yorkshire next year. Much like our event T2T, have a choice of Advanced taking on challenging climbs etc or Average, which one to choose? Has anyone ridden up there? Can't imagine anything worse than devil's steps, or is there?
Sorry this is off topic, would like to know what oil to buy, have searched the web and its a little confusing. Suggestions are 10w-30 or 10w-40 non detergent ?
