Desert Rose Join Camp VC 2022

Camp VC is a women’s motorcycle festival, which for 2022 was run at the Sweet Lamb Rally Complex in Wales. The weekend offered a multitude of activities for attendees, from welding and mechanics lessons, through to experiencing a rally car lap of a rally course. Desert Rose were invited to bring our enduro motorcycles along, so that we could give beginners lessons for riders who wanted to venture off road and maybe get involved in trail riding, or even their first enduro event. Patsy made sure the support lorry was fully loaded and the team made their way from East Sussex to the stunning hills of Wales. Arriving to set up on Thursday, we were met by unusual weather for Wales, it was dry and sunny and this continued on into Friday. With Saturday and Sunday, normal service resumed as far as Welsh weather is concerned and there was a combination of mist, drizzle and horizontal rain.
We saw over 100 ladies book onto our courses over the weekend despite the weather and all of them rode really well. Considering some of the riders had only just taken their CBT and were relatively new road riders, they all soon got to grips with the difference to riding off road. The location offered a variety of terrain for the riders to tackle, with loose shale, wet grass and some hills to practice ascents and descents all under the watchful eye of the Desert Rose instructors. On Saturday evening, Patsy was asked to join a panel discussion about women in motorcycling and spoke of her enduro championships and of course her Dakar experience.

Desert Rose & Caofen Electric Dirt Bikes

A new partnership between Desert Rose Riding Academy and Caofen will provide an opportunity for riders to experience what electric off road motorcycles have to offer. Using both the Caofen F80 and Caofen FX riders will be able to put these bikes to the test for a morning or afternoon at one of our East Sussex off road training facilities. Noise pollution is a thing of the past with electric off road motorcycles. With these new models, the lightweight monocoque chassis is made from aircraft-grade Magnarium alloy, providing class leading rigidity increasing safety and enhancing the F80’s off road capability. The technology provides far greater battery stability, improving performance allowing you to ride faster for longer. The operating temperature range of the battery is extended from minus 40 Celsius to plus 60 Celsius and allows for faster more efficient charging.

The Morocco 1500

Morocco has always drawn adventurers and overlanders to its heart. For Desert Rose, it is a home from home, with Patsy first travelling across it over 25 years ago. Being part of the route of the famous Paris-Dakar rallye of the late 70s and early 80s it is surely on most motorcyclists’ bucket list. For 2024 we have something completely new and we believe quite unique. We have built an event which enables both off road riders and on road riders to experience Morocco at its very best, however you choose to travel through it. With 7 days riding, we will cover some 1500km, starting in the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and finishing in Fes, Morocco’s oldest city, having dropped down to Merzouga to see first-hand the majestic dunes and desert vistas. Staying in quality accommodation and having a night under the stars at a desert bivouac this is an event that will make memories to last a lifetime. All in the knowledge that you are riding with the full support of the experienced Desert Rose Team there to back you up.
