This year, for my annual adventure I decided to tackle the Adventure Country Tracks France route.

This is a 5 day adventure in the south-east of France, with some off-tarmac sections and some amazing roads and sights.

My friend joined me for the first 3 days, so I made a short video to remember it.

Join me on a lap of the Bridgestone Trail at the ABR Festival 2025.

The ABR Festival is possibly the UK’s largest festival dedicated to adventure motorcycling. A weekend camping at Ragley Hall, Alcester. With multiple stages for talks and music, it’s a place for inspiration. There are motorcycle manufacturers offering test rides, riding schools teaching offroad skills, and plenty of vendors selling everything you might need (equipment, tours, food and drink, souvenirs). They also have some on-site trails - the less technical trail is the Bridgestone Trail, 14.4 miles of gravel and dirt tracks for people to tackle with their adventure motorcycle.

I attended the Adventure Bike Rider festival. There were two off-road motorcycle trails in the grounds of Ragley Hall - the less technical one is called the Bridgestone Trail.
