The BikeShed Goes Scrambling
The Desert Rose Team are delighted to have been asked to host a number of Scrambles for the BikeShed Motorcycle Club. BSMC members and guests made their way down to one of our private East Sussex venues, bringing with them a range of bikes. Some chose to hire from our rental fleet, while others rode their own bikes; from custom scramblers, old school dirt bikes, rally reps, modern scramblers and everything in between. 125cc A1 friendly entry level motorcycles could be seen on the same tracks and trails as current enduro bikes and 1250cc 300+Kg fully loaded BMW GSs.
BSMC’s Head of Membership and Experience, Dan came down to East Sussex earlier in the summer, discussing his plans for BikeShed members to get dirty.
The “Scrambles” had that really authentic “On Any Sunday” vibe going on and safe to say everyone had an absolute blast.
The smiles at the end of the day were priceless. Find out more about BSMC by visiting bikeshedmoto.com

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!

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.

A Taste for Rallies
With the 2023 rallye season well underway we took the opportunity to host another Rallye Evaluation Day down in East Sussex. The weather had been very very wet in the weeks before, so although there was no rain, the ground was very slippy and the gullies and ditches water logged. Nothing for it then we decided to build in some team building exercise, take look here.

The Girl on a Bike at Desert Rose
Back in the Spring of 2022 Vanessa Ruck, The Girl on Bike joined the Desert Rose Riding Academy to experience our Stage 1 and Stage 2 training courses. Although Vanessa herself is not new to riding off road, she threw herself into the exercises and drills to see how we deliver training for newer riders and those looking for the next challenge off road.
Catching up with Patsy gave both girls plenty to talk about, having previously ridden the Qatar Baja together in 2021.
Take a look at how Vanessa’s day panned out with us on her YouTube Channel here
