So you’ve bought an adventure bike, but where can you ride it? While there is a plethora of off-road routes in the likes of Wales and Scotland, it’s sometimes hard to find somewhere to sharpen your skills in the South-east of England.
This is where rallyadventurebike.com steps in. Based at Enduro Valley in Crowborough, the team offer 1-1 and group training sessions across 250 acres of woodland. They cater for all levels of rider, from beginner to advanced/racer and you can either take your own bike along or make use of their hire bikes.
Terrain is varied, and allows you to really get to grips with all the different features and skills you’ll need for when you want to take part in some off-road riding further afield.
We made our way down to Enduro Valley one sunny August day to find out what rallyadventurebike.com was all about. P&H founder and MD Paul Searle and our Sales Manager Marcus grabbed a pair of KTM’s (Paul on the new 790 Adventure, and Marcus on his own 890 Adventure R), strapped up their boots and took on some of Crowborough’s finest off-road tracks.
At Enduro Valley you’ll (unsurprisingly) find all kinds of terrain that is perfect for Enduro machinery, as well as some man-made features especially for polishing up your hard enduro skills. The beauty of this location, is that with such a variety of things to ride, amongst it all is some idyllic adventure bike riding.
Under the watchful eye of Howard at rallyadventurebike.com, you’ll be able to build confidence in your off-road abilities thanks to his expert tutelage.
On the day, Howard showed Paul and Marcus several different sections of track and both KTM’s ate it up. It had rained quite a lot in the lead up to our visit, so there were a couple of bits that would have warranted some beefier tyres for the 790 but everyone managed to keep it upright bar one small mishap (that we’ll say no more about, eh Paul ;)).
