Team Building Day Ahead of Epic Adventure

Late April and the sun was out in East Sussex. We had the pleasure of hosting a day for a group who have an epic adventure planned. In just under 2 months’ time, the lads will be riding unsupported across some of the highest passes of the Himalayas. The trip has been planned for well over a year and as part of the training the group wanted to improve their off road riding skills. Between the 10 riders there was a wide range of motorcycle experience, from 40 plus years to less than 4 hours!

Whilst we can’t replicate the terrain, climate or altitude the lads are going to experience in the Himalayas, we put on some bike handling drills that would stand them in good stead for their trip and added in some additional team building exercises that could come in handy. We had the group man handle 10 motorcycles across a small stream, from a steep sided bank, ran them through bike to bike towing and had them learn the skills for controlled downhill descents of steep gradients. They all absolutely nailed it! Here’s a look at how the day went. We will be watching their progress in the Himalayas with interest at the end of June.

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.

CampVC 2024

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.
