Adventure Bike Day at Desert Rose
Looking to take your adventure bike off the tarmac? Thinking of taking in some local green lanes or maybe even tackling parts of the TET? Join us on Saturday 10th September.
At Desert Rose we have years of experience from events and trips across the world. From helping riders take their first tentative steps off road, leading trail rides in the UK, Portugal, the Pyrenees, holding boot camps in the dunes of Morocco, supporting riders take on rallies across Europe, Africa, the USA and of course getting to the finish line of the Dakar at Lac Rose.
The Desert Rose Riding Academy can help you take on that next adventure. At our private off road training venue in the heart of East Sussex we can help you build your confidence and skills using your own adventure bike.
The day starts with breakfast at the Route 1066 Café, on the A21 near Robertsbridge. After breakfast we will head to our training ground.
Once at the training ground we will run through some exercises aimed at building rider confidence when taking your adventure bike off road, from body position and bike handling drills, to dealing with ascents/descents, ruts and braking techniques. There will also be plenty of time to talk through bike set up, tyre choice how to deal with the odd mechanical challenge.
Places restricted to 12 riders per group.
