Malle Marshals Join us for a Day

Earlier this year the Desert Rose team took our training Academy to the Malle Mile, in the beautiful grounds of Grimsthorpe Castle. The weekend was one full of motorcycles, racing, glamping, motorcycle related art work, music and good vibes. The dedicated team of Marshals work hard in the run up to the event and all weekend to make sure riders and their guests have the best experience. Well this weekend it was the turn of the Malle Marshals to hang up their overalls for the day and get some off road riding under their belts. Using our late model fleet of Beta Enduro bikes the Marshals were put through their paces. Tackling some tight, single track routes through the trees and a couple of gentle hill ascents and descents.

Towards the end of the day, we took the opportunity to show them part of our skills development area where riders can hone their skills in getting over various obstacles, using pre load techniques and pivot turns to negotiated routes through the woods. It’s fair to say that everyone had a great day, the team bond was clear to see and we know that the Marshals are ready to face next year’s Malle Beach Race, Malle Mile and their longer Malle Rallies.
