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.

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.

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.
