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 ?
What better way to work off the turkey than a bit of hard enduro ....... but as that wasn't available to us we settled for a spot of gentle trail riding instead. Just the three Amigos on this outing despite invites being offered to others who were otherwise engaged. We met at Ivybridge petrol station a...

Already informed them of the replaced tyres Pirelli MTs, skid pan and rear shock, all these were fine under the policy. Now I want or replace the bars with rentals and risers plus sprung brake and clutch levers.oh dear i...
Dave Clarke and I set off from S Molton car park. As usual. Very luckily for me, a very good friend let me have a plethora of routes and tracks from over the years!!! What an absolute cracker. Two lanes in particular, 180-095 & 180-148. The first, got to the top of 095, Clarkie - "I'm not going down the...

Im after a trail/enduro bike. £3500 max. Needs to be fairly light. 125kg kerb weight would be a good starting point. I live in Exeter, so preferably within an hours drive. Road ready would be a plus. I have a CRF250 Rally Im willing to swap if that interests you. I value it somewhere between £3-3.5k. Obvi...
Dumpy bag lane, tombstone lane, 192-237, GRM 5368 call it what you like...there is some volunteering needed to help all users enjoy this public green road! Yes its currently TTRO "Temporary traffic regulation order" prohibiting anyone from using such a road/public right of way...
