Desert Rose at the ABR Festival 2021

Late June saw the Desert Rose team head up to Ragley Hall in Warwickshire for the Adventure Bike Rider Festival. The Desert Rose Racing Rally Support Truck and new exhibition trailer made the journey, along with some of our fleet of Beta Enduro bikes and even a couple of the more extreme rallye prepped bikes were on show.

Desert Rose took groups of riders for a short taste of our off road riding instruction, before taking a ride round the ABRs AX41 Adventure Trail with open meadows, gravel trails, secluded woodland, and even a few water crossings thrown into the mix. On the Saturday afternoon, Harry was invited to take part in an exhibition race, tackling obstacles including large log piles, a flat bed lorry, a parked car, large tractor and dumper truck tyres. Harry was in good company with many well known enduro racers in the field, with Graham Jarvis taking the honours.

CampVC 2024

Wow!!!!!! CampVC never fails to deliver. What a great weekend. Super cool to meet up with so many riders who were with us at previous Camps and to meet new riders. Everyone threw themselves into the enduro school sessions we put on over the 3 days and they all went away with new skills and a love of riding off road motorcycles.

Inappropriate motorcycles being raced across the castle lawns and down the castle driveway, with fire eaters, world renowned wall of death show, art exhibition, live music, fire works, moto polo and 1500 motorcycles on a scramble around the grounds each morning. Harry yet again spending a weekend mainly on the back wheel of one of our Beta enduro bikes, all in the name of his role as Marshal of course.
