When Desert Rose comes to town…
Today has been the first day on Desert Rose/BikeShed Greek Odyssey rally… We started this morning in the rainy paddock in Bucharest, Romania, and finished this afternoon, 330km later in the sunny hills of Veliko Tarnova, Bulgaria! The weather was not on our side today, with a chilly and wet start to the day as we left Romanias capital, yet all 21 riders have made it safely to this evenings paddock! Tomorrow we look forward to sunnier skies, and more amazing riding as we head towards Sofia… This will be our last full day in Bulgaria, so all riders are super excited to see what it has to offer! Day one of this epic adventure has been a, slightly soggy, success… Five more days to go!

What a cracking day we had down in East Sussex. All new tracks, 80+ acres of open farmland and tight single track through the woods, bathed in Autumn sunshine. Bring on the next one.

The lovely Paul and Rachel first joined us for a day's training back in 2021 and have joined us for more training since, including some private coaching to prepare them for an upcoming trip to the Himilayas, which they have just returned back from.
Rachel said, "It was incredible. Trip of a lifetime except we can’t wait to do another one! Thanks to you and Patsy for all the training and the last minute refresher before we left. Paid off big time!"

Whether you have a trip planned abroad or in the UK, or would like to work on your riding technique to get more comfortable on the local trails or tracks - we have the knowledge and experience to help!
Get in touch to book a private day now, or check our website for public courses!

On International Women’s day, the whole team at Desert Rose salute our very own Patsy Quick.

The first British Woman to enter and complete the gruelling Dakar Rallye back in 2006, British and European Women’s Enduro Championship winner, intercontinental adventurer, business founder and genuine influencer.

Patsy continues to be an inspiration to women and men alike who want to realise their off-road riding dreams. Whether that is taking the first steps off road through the Adventure Riding Academy’s progressive syllabus, getting involved in that first foreign trail ride experience, signing up for their first international rallye or entering their dream event, or navigating and riding across hundreds and thousands of miles across the desert to reach Lac Rose in Dakar with Support from Desert Rose Racing.

It doesn’t stop there. Through Desert Rose DirtTech, the dedicated off-road workshop, Patsy’s team can help you put together the rallye bike of your dreams. If that wasn’t enough, through Desert Rose Bikes, there is the full range of Beta enduro and trials bikes on offer.

Cheers Pats, the team and all of those you have and continue to inspire, salute you.

Day 5, the final day for our first group in November 2022. A fairly short day saw the group head from Dades back to our start/finish point of Ourazazate. With stunning scenery back through the low Atlas, this leg had the riders feeling down knowing they would be heading home the next day.

Have these posts inspired you to want to experience Morocco with us? Well, we have good news, we have just released dates for trips to Morocco in March and November 2023!
