Imagine the comments if we planned to take 200 trail bikes down 13 lanes in one day?

Some pics of the lanes after the passage of them all would be interesting to see - and record so we don't get the blame for the ensuing damage!!!

This years route is the same as last year and you would not know the 350+ riders who entered last year had ever used it. If it rains all week that may change. I look forward to comparing before and after videos.

Fair enough Pete, just sounds a lot of 'wheels' and was looking at this pic from the 'flyer' wink

Much fun was had by 400 or so riders who braved wild Dartmoor weather on a route changed at the lst minute due to road closure and forestry issues, and again at the eleventh hour due to NIMBY parish council whinging about using the 100% legal bridleways through Lustleigh Cleave, so diverted down the Old Manaton road after climbing onto the moor past the medieval village and Hound Tor, passing Jays grave and eventually looping around Grimspound. Not just trail riders who have the antis up in arms.
