The steps placed by the water board below Conitor lane don't seem a shap edged or steep these days, but still demand a square approach into the lane. Rounding the bermed zigzags after Stubbins cross I disturbed a buzzard at lunch and had a close up view of the tiny package clutched in his claws as he whee...

Back in March, Ray showed a few lads from Hampshire TRF around Dartmoor and kindly invited me along. I'd never seen so much water in the lanes and was soaked to the armoured codpiece with minutes. The old green smokers outlasted the KTMs and, rumour has it, the Hampshire boys decided to stay another ni...

I had intended to post a run but Ray got there first and I took the easy option of following, for a change. Wheely saved us a great deal of hassle by pointing out the clash between our proposed itinerary and the Devon Dirt route and in order not to meet several hundred muddy mountain bikers we headed south i...

Trev said he was going to look at the snow and I was glad of an excuse to ride in atrocious conditions. Winds of 40 to 50 mph making the maximum temperature of - 2 degrees feel more like - 10 coupled with persistent snow to make even a short run feel like an adventure. My neighbours lined up to see us off. Holb...

Myself, Geoff, Damian and Nick set off early from my place in two vans for some new lane to us plus some we had already done before. After looking for free car parks on the internet somewhere near the start of my new route I decided to start at Tedburn St Mary after checking out the free car on Google...

Short notice run organised by Nick (KronreifTrunkenpolzMattighofen) along with Rupert and James (who contacted Nick on Facebook TRF page). So the 4 of us met at Tesco garage in Axminster for 9:30 start. It was barely above freezing on the ride there and I was pretty cold by the time I arrived. I fueled...

I was asked to put on a run for a couple of members of the West of England Motor Club and invited Trackman to join myself Jim and Neil. It was nearly the shortest run ever when white van man reversed into me a minute after leaving home. Luckily he heard our chorus of horns and shouting, stopped before any har...

After much deliberating, 3 of us decided to head to Salisbury for the organised charity ride. That said, the night before the other two jacked, not to be put off, I was at my mates yard at 06:45 nicking his trailer so I could still go! 2 hours later I arrived at the pub parking, with 15mins to spare before th...

As Pete and others have set the run report bar very high recently, I thought I would have a go. After 34 years or riding, my wife Libby has finally decided to have a go at laning with me(I think she felt sorry for me now Grommett has gone to Uni). We recently purchased an XT225 and she already considers it 'he...

FredE, NickJ and Mattyboy were briefed to make sure the man behind knows where to turn and warned how to approach the perpendicular steps placed by the water board at the entrance to Conitor lane before we set off. The muddy patch on the dog leg after Stubbins cross has been tamed but not eradicated by re...

After dusting the cobwebs out of the gear last week, I managed to get a leave pass again for today, bloody awesome lanes at the moment! 3 of us left Raymonds hill and headed west, bypassing the washed out 193-012, we started by going up Doug's lane, aka 192-054, very different to last weekend, loads of st...

Went for a spin down the Teign using the long sloping ridge lanes with splendid views over the river. Crossing the river bridge and the town beyond a concrete ford led to the next lane where a deeper ford precedes a steep rocky climb. A long lane took me to a another stringing down the hill. At the end of the...

I didn't offer to lead a ride out of the goodness of my heart, it was just a ploy to get someone else to come along to open and close all of the gates on the moorland lanes I wanted to ride. Five riders names went on the list of unwitting gate volunteers and four turned up at the appointed hour. We did wait 15 min...
