After only owning road bikes I've bought a tidy 05 example, I've changed the oil and filter and its sailed through an mot, I can't believe I've not ridden a bike with Knobblies before, I love it,

It did have a kouba lowering link on it that ive taken off to put back to standard, I've put it on ebay as didn't want to appear as am untrusted newbie selling stuff (which I guess I am) but at least its through ebay so I look a bit more trustworthy!

Anyway, cracking bike does anyone recommend any good offroad schools as Im distinctly lacking skill on the loose stuff!

Welcome to TTR land, Dave.

If you're new to TTRs and knobbly tyres then you must be new to the adventure of riding "off road" and I would advise you to contact your local TRF group for a start.

"Off road" is not a term that has much meaning to TRF people because the ways they use are all legal highways - some without tarmac, many without kerbs, few have drainage - but they are all legal roads.

Your local TRF group is the West Midlands TRF group which meets on the 1st (Business) & 3rd (Social) Wednesday of each month at Wilmcote Working Mens Club here.

Welcome,

 

Great post Martyn,  recommend the TRF, as new to this myself, £45 well spent, as most local groups have a rideout monthly, and you get to know legal lanes.

True, Paul. The TRF knows where all the 'proper legal' lanes in the country are and will provide back up to you if someone decides to object. aww

You mention a monthly rideout, Paul? confuse
In Devon we have so many lanes and TRF members there are rides at least two or three times weekly.
Devon is quite a big county and the TRF section is the largest in member numbers, so it's not surprising. smile

I would advise anyone with a trail bike, and anybody who has a TTR, to seek out their local TRF group and try them out. biggrin

There, I'll put my soap box away now.

Martyn

 Our local one, hertfordshire, do a beginner ride monthly, was not sure what other groups do, we had ad hoc rideouts that members post up, going to one this evening.

I never realised the lanes were there, it has been eye opening, and the riding, well its been a learning curve.biggrinbiggrinbiggrin
