Deliberate lane blocking
(Preview)
Hi, should I flag deliberate lane blocking or just stop moaning. GRMUID 4977 Lane past St Wenns Cottage has two vehicles parked at the cottage so that the lane is blocked with no gaps for bikes. We came down the lane and needed a tricky u turn to go back up. This was more to warn others as a larger group wo...

Bob Wilkinson was also lined up to join us and he was...

Betas back

Big thanks to Justin Gibbs for sorting out the running issues with the Beta, plus a top end refresh, new piston etc, plus revalving the front forks. So as soon as I got her home we had a little 70 mile loop of all the lanes on the moors, WOW what a difference the revalve has made, so much smoother on the rock...

Christmas Eve ride out, With pictures and words (some)

It seems a very long time ago, almost a different world away now, but here is the result of our Christmas Eve ride out for the Devon Air Ambulance. This letter was sent to Chris and Jacki, but they were already in New Zealand by then, and subsequently got stuck there. The good people of Totnes, once accost...

Possibly the shortest run report ever ?

Saturday morning and myself (CRF250L) and Lee (AJP PR7) arranged to meet up and explore some of the lanes local to us in East Devon. We met up at my place and had a look over the map and decided on a very rough route - at this point I should add that I'm new to both motorcycling and trail riding and Lee although...

Best of 2020 Video

https://youtu.be/3fndqUye-gc Having released last year's video to stunned silence on 21st Jan 2019, now seems the appropriate time for another dose of jollity and incompetence. We didn't get out much last year but, when we did, we enjoyed ourselves. HD and high volume recommended.

Suspicious Rock Placement
(Preview)
Evening all. The last few times I have been across Ridge Road Stokeinteignhead I have noticed some rather odd looking rocks placed along sections of the lane. They have mainly been quite small but awkwardly placed to force you to swerve to avoid them or stop and move them. I was out on my Beta on Saturday...

a sheepish tale ....

Whilst out on my ebike on the moor the other day I spotted a sheep in an odd position in a bog near Butterbrook. Closer inspection revealed that it was well and truly stuck and wasn't getting out on its own. It had a very heavy fleece which was waterlogged and could get no purchase with it's feet to get out. S...

After failing to get on a Doug's ride out in east Devon, the only thing to do was sort one out for myself. Steve had already expressed an interest and another not going to east Devon was John. There was a bit of interest from others but bike repairs and husbandly duties prevailed. So to quote Genesis 'th...

After having no takers for my beginners ride from Bishopsteignton I descided to go for a run across the moor with Steve, who is definitely not a beginner. We met at 0900hrs with a good weather forecast, full tanks of fuel and some chocolate bars. It was interesting later on to find out who had used the l...
