Fun at Sweet Lamb

After an early start and a long 3 hour ride up to Sweet Lamb Adventure Bike Centre in Wales, I parked up the Explorer and jumped onto the KTM 790r for a day of 1 : 1 coaching with "Moly" the owner and lead instructor.

I haven't ridden much this year (on or off road) for obvious reasons. I normally do around 10000 miles a year and since lockdown, it is more like 700 miles. I was a bit concerned about my skill fade but after a quick refresher training on riding position and corning (and getting to learn a bike I had never ridden before) it was off to ride around the Sweet Lamb complex and I was not as rusty as I expected.

Today's particular skills we looked at were riding through water, riding ruts and ditches (up and down), skid turns, riding grass (some of it very lumpy and bumpy), pushing the the bike out of a marsh.
