Off to Walters Arena near Abercrave today for the 2014 UK ‘Dawn to Dusk’ racing – edge of the seat action with 24 hour, 12 hour and 6 hour endurance racing, live music, food and bars – what more could you need for a UK bank holiday weekend… and its not raining!

2014 Touratech Travel Event
I was lucky enough to be able to visit this weekend the annual Touratech Travel Event along with hundreds of other adventure motorcycle riders – good to meet Chris Scott and watch the new R1200GSA be thrown all over the track by Nick Plumb. If you have not read it – I recommend Chris’s book Adventure Motorcycling Handbook he has a wealth of experience having undertaken over 35 expeditions through the Sahara, from Egypt to the Atlantic by motorcycle, and a nice guy to boot.
Dawn to Dusk
I managed to get to the 11th Dawn to Dusk this year – first time since 2005. For those of you who have never been able to attend its the uk’s longest enduro event which consists of multiple separate races and a gruelling 24, 12 and 6 hour solo and team event. The event is headed by 4 time paris-dakar veteran Nick Plumb who manages the UK Toratech operation and the race has hosted a whole group of bike fans including Alfie Cox, Ross Noble and Charley Boorman who raced in preparation and training for his assault on the 2006 Dakar – the UK weather was kind and the racing challenging – looking forward to 2013.
