Some more miles on the Great Western trail, myself, Geoff Kelly and Damian Steer rode up to Crediton and met Paul Crowley and Steve Payne , then we followed the GWT up to Honiton and then on to Axminster before roading it to Westbay for a late lunch, then a return trip to Exeter on the Southern leg and th...

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.

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...

Not sure where to post this as I don't have access to the Lane Clearing section. Went out and rode a few lanes yesterday, and came across two fallen trees over lanes. Too big to lift and shift. 192-231 192-207

So todays rideout didnt quiet go to plan but we still did most of the lanes planned, albeit if it took us a little longer than it was supposed to. 130 miles and up past North Tawton, lunch stop on the way back at Whiddon down. Thanks to Geoff Kelly for sharing the leading So i dont have many photos of lanes as t...

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...

Hi All Tree down on Ridge Road Stokeinteignhead. I think its 202-35/36 forgive me as I am new to this. I only live 5 mins from here but I cant move it alone. More than happy to help out.

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...

As we hadn't been out for a while, because of the bad weather and going away on holiday, myself and the current Mrs Foxon decided to have a wobble around the lanes to blow away the cobwebs. We stayed local to have a chance to survey the lanes in our manor. After the string of storms we have had recently it wa...

After I finished a ride out I took this lane on my way homeward. Its been well and truly nobbled and had visions of being stranded there and found days later as a frozen corpse lol.

Here's a video featuring some of the good bits from 2018's laning outings. Watch carefully and you may spot (amongst others) SamHB, Bombx3, Kleenex, SmiffyWR, Kiwi Craig, Jeff and FBF doing their best to look incompetent. It's 17 minutes long. Good luck. https://youtu.be/fLAUBKc8lMM

Had a day off Friday (as it was my birthday

) and had a 4 hrs bimble round some local lanes some of which I haven't ridden for a couple of years. Was surprised at the apparent lack of use of some and saddened at the 4x4 damage to others (which I won't post here). Sorry pics are all arse about

Lovely sunny and eventually quite warm morning for the five of us today. Lots of water on all of the lanes but shock of the day was Watery Lane at Exton! (192-158) The car has gone, and so has all the water. Trees have been cut back and many tons of chippings (or whatever they used) have been laid almost up th...
