Took the Husky to the Woods
Wanted to take the Husky out so left the trials bike at home and went to the woods all enduro style where I tried to keep up with a GasGas TXT280. To be fair to the TE300 it’s a wonderful machine, and so easy to […]

It’s been far too long
Over the past 18 months or so we’ve kinda migrated from enduro riding to more dual-sport / adventure riding. Trials too, but mostly dual-sport. The 500EXC is an amazing machine, with instant response from that big 510cc motor.. and the new Tenere 700 is effortlessly […]
Gentle blow-off-the-cobwebs trailride
Hitting the trails on a gorgeous mild mid November Sunday!!! Still in lockdown so being subtle. CRF250 Rally and Husqvarna TE300.. this was just a trail ride now, not an enduro. The Husky hasn’t been out in a while so I was glad of […]
Super Sunday
It was a beautiful Sunday morning for 3 of us to hit the trails. Summer part II might not last so we’ll take what we can. CRF250 Rally – FE250 – TE300
Viral Trails
Pondering mortality? The never ending social distancing? The efforts to protect ourselves and our families from the terrible sickness, and at the same time thinking the queue for Lidl is possibly worse than the sickness could ever be, and we’d nearly rather try our luck […]
The Goat
We hit the road early this morning to make full use of the limited daylight that was available. There was no need really though, as we were done by 1pm. Still, was handy to get home and have the bikes washed and put away while […]
Tipping Away
A couple of spins to Tipp over the weekend saw us explore some old, and some new trails, and make some new friends too. It’s great when you meet another group of riders that you kinda know to see from previous events, but don’t really […]
Tipperary bound
It looked like there’d be 5 of us going for what I’d describe as an exploratory spin. Some good trails, some known terrain, but in an area we don’t often visit, so it was always going to double up as both a trail ride, and […]
Summer Trail Rides :o)
We’ve organised a group trail ride every week for the past 4 weeks in a row now, and each time it’s been to a new destination. It’s normally a mix of forestry roads, trails, tracks and some gnarly single track too. Road miles are kept […]
Evening Antics
An unexpected ‘who’s going for a spin later?’ message in our WhatsApp group led to the biggest (and most spontaneous) woods spin in ages as SEVEN of us arrived out to see how well our bike lights lit up the path under this magic canopy of trees. […]
Exploring East Clare
Not been up around the Lough Atorick area ever, and had a day to spare. The TE300 is going in for an engine rebuild soon so took her out on one last spin before the maintenance. For a first day in a new area I […]
Exploring Tinahely
An overlanders open day and a presentation on the Hellas rally and roadbook navigation tempted us to Wexford recently. The roadbook route looked to be mostly road based so we decided to have fun on some local trails instead. The roads seemed a bit slippy […]
Recce Runs
It was a miserable Wednesday, and the only thing to brighten it up was to take a spin. Seeing as it was a solo spin I figured I’d take it easy and bring a couple of old cameras to record a short video from different […]
October Bank Holiday
The run that very very nearly didn’t happen!! Between the solo recce on Friday, and the actual run on Monday, some bike issues were discovered. The rear of the airbox had separated from the left subframe rail. Rear wheel bearings on brake side were goosed. […]
Summer Roadbook Navigation
Had a great day out at this ‘Roadbook’ event. There were fast sections, technically challenging obstacles, punctures, and some laughs too. Great bunch of guys n girls and a great event. Huge thanks to all the organisers :o)
