We covered 110 miles in total with most of that on single track roads. We stopped at Lynmouth for fish and chips on the harbour side and dess...

Young Bro. was su...

Paul's WR450F needed an engine rebuild so the birthday run was about 6 weeks later than it should have been but at least we did it Paul's bike was only finished and MOTd on Saturday so it was very tight! He asked me to plan and lead the run. Six of us made it on the day which is the maximum I am happy to lead. Me...

Toolangi 14/04/2012

Had an awesome ride at toolangi (Victoria Australia). There were alot of riders out and about on all the tracks, but due to the large area it was far between encounters. Tracks were a wide mix of deep boggy mud pits, steep slippery clay descents right through to dry and rocky. Toolangi truly has a wide mi...

The lanes are so different to my local East Devon lanes and there were some really tricky slippery slate and rock climbs. Most of the lanes we ride in Devon are UCRs (Unclassified Coun...
