Desert Rose Riding Academy & Sinnis Motorcycles
At Desert Rose Riding Academy we are focused on delivering rider training and coaching so that riders can get the most out of their riding experience. Whether it is through our Stage 1/2 courses getting riders taking those first steps off road, or coaching riders who plan to take part in hard/extreme enduro events, riders looking to take on a big desert rallye, owners of big adventure bikes who want to go off the tarmac occasionally our passion is helping riders enhance their off road riding skills.
It is no surprise therefore that Sinnis Motorcycles asked us to deliver some off road rider training courses for riders of their 125 Terrain motorcycles. These small capacity motorcycles are proving to be popular with newer riders, as well as those returning to 2 wheels.
The Sinnis Off Road Riding Academy in Partnership with Desert Rose can be seen in action here
We have based the courses on our Stage 1 syllabus which builds the core principles for riding motorcycles off road. Body positioning and bike handling exercises enable riders to build their confidence. This is then built on further with learning the braking techniques for riding off road. With some 80 plus acres of open, rutted fields, tight woodland and some short but fairly steep hills riders and bikes coped really well all day.
We know of riders who have taken and in fact are currently taking these T125s on all sorts of adventures, one of which sees a young rider on her way to the northern tip of Norway, tent and provisions strapped to the back of her bike. She spent a day with us just before she left the UK to build her off road riding skills, ready for whatever Scandanavia might throw at her. Safe travels H.

ABR 2025 WOW!
Wow, ABR 2025 you didn’t disappoint. The whole Desert Rose Team love our time at Ragley Hall. This event has become the go to event for ADV riders across the UK and beyond.
We get the chance to meet with and talk with amazing people who want to get out and ride.
We are always super busy, with each day starting with the Trail Briefing, hosted by our good friend Billy “BikeTruck” Ward, followed by multiple taster sessions of our training courses.
With the Desert Rose Racing Team on hand to talk about all things rallye as well, it seems we must have spoken to all 20,000 people at least once.

The Morocco 1500
Wow!
What an event, we took 50 riders from Marrakesh, down to the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, then back up through the national park of Ifrane to Fes.
With over 30 riders tackling the Trail Edition, riding through the desert, through river beds, up long steep mountain passes and across the dunes this was an epic adventure.
The Tarmac Edition saw riders hit the heights of the High Atlas mountain range, ride some incredible mountain switchbacks, cross the desert to get to the “Bond Volcano” film location and have adventures of their own getting across, round and through some of the many washed out roads.

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.

Malle Mile ’24
2024 saw the 10th Edition of the incomparable Malle Mile. Set in the grounds of the beautiful Grimsthorpe Castle this is a one of a kind event.
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.
