You called?

Sounds perfect - get some more of those and you'll have a route worth riding.



PS. GS? KTM? WTF are you on about? Everyone knows they're rubbish. The ideal bike on roads like that is a 1998 ZX6-R.

Agreed, you don't need those for off roading. A road bike does it just as well, i've done partial off roading on the SV and a few fords. It is the kind of stuff that makes a rideout much more interesting!

We did bimble about on the south downs first. Not through choice. Stu just kept misreading the sat nav.

In all seriousness, the first version of the route was about 50% off road. No more than a foot of useable Tarmac available at any one time. We've now reduced that to 45% so we're not completely taking the ****.

You're going in the wrong direction! Gravel, mud and standing water improve a rideout route immeasurably.
