Harry Takes to the Trails

A cold, slightly damp late January morning and Harry takes the opportunity to recce a few trails for some upcoming rides. The Husqvarna 701 was chosen from the Desert Rose fleet, mainly as Harry had a fairly long liaison stage at the start of his ride from the South Coast to the Kent countryside. Harry had a set of marked up maps, identifying the byways and green lanes accessible to motorcycles to explore and was tasked with locating the best coffee stops and cafe’s for future rides.
The UK’s diminishing network of green lanes and byways open to all traffic, represent an opportunity for trail riders and adventure bike riders to get out an enjoy the countryside on their motorcycles. These routes, shared with walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders and others are there for us all to enjoy. As long as your motorcycle is taxed, MoT’d, properly insured and road legal you can ride these routes. Desert Rose fully support the principles set out in the TRF code of conduct and we recommend that if you are thinking of taking to the trails, joining the TRF is a great first step. If you are interested in joining us on a future trail ride contact us now

BeRightBack @ Desert Rose 2026

Now in its 3rd year, the annual BeRightBack day at Desert Rose never fails to deliver. Be Right Back is a growing community for women in and around the automotive world, where passion for bikes and cars, connection and experience-making collide. It was created out of the real need for women who felt like they didn’t quite fit into the typical automotive scene and wanted a supportive, fun and empowered space to meet like-minded people, build friendships and enjoy the culture together. BRB hosts a wide range of events from casual social meet-ups like breakfast gatherings and drive-outs to special celebrations like International Women’s Day collaborations and women-centred track days and off road riding experiences. All designed to bring women together around bikes and cars in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. At its heart, BRB is about connection over horsepower, linking women who love bikes and cars not just for the machines, but for the people, experiences and shared stories that make automotive culture richer and more inclusive.
