After the rally skills weekend I did at Sweet Lamb in February, I felt far more comfortable on the bike in general, handling fire-roads and faster sections much more confidently. However, I recognise that when the going gets a bit more technical, I am left lacking. With that in mind […]
As you may recall from my Ryedale rally report, I finished the race with the bike looking very sorry for itself after the nav-tower fractured. It’s not an exceptionally complex structure so I decided to replace the aluminium alloy plates with carbon fibre. I checked with various sources but noone […]
This evening, I agreed a deal to use Metzeler tyres, namely the 6-Days Extreme, on my bike, supplied by Wheelfit Motorcycles in Cambridge. Tyres are one of the most expensive consumable items when racing off-road so this will make the rest of the season that little bit more affordable. I’ve […]

Race report.. or is it Rally report? Sunday I took part in the ‘Pike Peak Rally’ in the Tarenig forest in Wales. Arrived on Saturday evening to find only a handful of others there already, but it meant I could park the van in an excellent spot with plenty of […]
