Ladies’ Day
The bluebells are out and the sun is shinning, so there is nothing else for it, let’s ride off road motorcycles. That’s exactly what a group of friends decided to do in mid April. Joining us at one of our training venues the girls signed up for a day of off road riding instruction, with exercises including body positioning, bike handling, up hills and down hills, we even had them taking part in some on bike yoga, culminating in those Titanic moments.
Desert Rose are able to host private groups at our East Sussex venues and tailor the day to the group’s experience. This group of ladies included some who had been a riding motorcycles for a little while and others who had only recently started riding. It is fair to say that every one of them threw themselves into the day with enthusiasm and all with a great sense of humour. One of the highlights of the day had to be Patsy joining us at lunchtime, talking about her start in off road riding and journey to becoming the first British woman to enter and subsequently finish the Dakar back in 2006.

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.
