So Burt and Moly of this parish set up a weekend of big bike rally training at the Sweet Lamb Rally Complex in Wales, complete with Dakar riders Craig Bounds and Tamsin Jones. The aim of the course is to better prepare you for rallying, rather than trail riding - although many of the techniques are transferable.
Here are some of photos and videos I took during the weekend.
This is Burt in a totally natural pose He has a ton of biking experience:
This is Moly giving some instruction - he rides a custom mongrel of an HP2 megamoto/enduro and he's blisteringly fast, just a shame about his Brummie accent
This is Craig Bounds - riding God, and all round nice chap:
And this is Tamsin Jones in one of her more serious moments. A successful finisher of the Dakar who has made me question the phrase: "Riding like a girl"!
Being a Rally complex, meant we had great facilities for our bikes:
Rest assured, they weren't going to stay this clean for long!
