Off road day with Marianne over the Cambrian mountains.
If you can't justify buying an 'off-road' bike for trail riding only 1/2 dozen times a year you can hire all the kit and a Honda 250 for the day.
We set off at 10 am and got back approx. 5 pm having stopped for lunch mid way through.

Great weather and loads of track time to set the new leading link front end out.
Howard & Lowri from Ralio came down and gave it a go.
Solo and Sidecar Test & Track Day - Llandow Circuit, Cowbridge, South Wales, CF71 7PB - Tuesday 15th April.
As well as the action on track, Marianneis hoping to have some other sidecars parked in the paddock, so that prospective competitors not only find out about sidecar roadracing, but get to consider the offroad sports too.
She would like clubs that run events with a sidecar class, whether trials, grasstrack, sidecarcross or enduro to provide some expenses for individuals who are willing to bring their outfit to Llandow and chat to the public. After all, hopefully these clubs will benefit from new competitors in the future! If you are interested in this opportunity for promoting your sport, and having the chance to go on a road racing sidecar, please get in touch. If you can think of other people who may be interested, Marianne would be grateful if you can forward these details on, or let her know their contact details. Please email marianne@trailrides-wales.com or phone 01686 430522.
The plan is to have alternate solo and sidecar sessions, so there will be plenty of track time for everyone. The solo session will have novices, and any faster riders have been briefed to this effect. The circuit is quite wide, and in the past we havent had a problem with differing speeds of participants. To take part with a solo is just £70 for a day, and you can have a go as a passenger on a sidecar as well if you want! This day is particularly suitable if you have never done a track day before. You do need leathers, etc, but some spare leathers, boots and gloves will be available to borrow.
To come along without a bike and passenger on sidecars, is £40 all day. This is an opportunity for people to find out about sidecar racing and we hope to have Formula 1, Formula 2 and classic sidecars available. There may even be the chance to try driving (subject to owner's permission). Talan Skeels-Piggins, who is paraplegic and the first man so disabled to go road racing, hopes to be fit enough to come along. (He has suffered a series of medical problems over the winter.) He set up The Bike Experience, a registered charity, which supports disabled riders who wish to get back out on a bike. For more information, please see www.tbex.co.uk. If you know disabled persons who have considered that riding, or driving or passengering, is not possible for them, please let them know that it isnt!
To book places, please email marianne@trailrides-wales.com or phone 01686 430522.
If you have an outfit and are looking for a passenger for next year OR someone who has an interest in giving it a go then contact either Brian Bodfish (Narberth MCC) 01834 860685 or give Rob a call on 07974 102372.
THIS WILL NOT A RACE MEETING - JUST A RELAXED DAY FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN GETTING ADVICE AND EXPERIENCE.
