Off road experience day for £30

Dates for subsidised off-road riding experience days have been announced for the fourth year in a row with the £30 cost covering everything needed for the day.

The event is named Motorcycle Off-Road Experience (MORE) and will be on for four days between Tuesday July 7 and Friday July 10 at Upavon in Wiltshire. 

This will be the fourth year a ‘try-out’ festival has been held, which allows people to try off-road riding for the first time.

The price, which is heavily subsidised by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) and the manufacturers behind MORE, will be £30.  This includes hire of all kit, bikes and top class instruction for either a morning or afternoon session.

Places are allocated on a first come first served basis via the MORE website www.rideoffroad.co.uk 

The ‘go live’ date is Saturday May 16 from 10am on the website above.

The group behind MORE includes Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha. Sandra Cole, who manages the event for the MCIA said: “You don’t need to be an experienced road rider or have a license.  You just need to be interested in having a go off-road.  Whether your long term goal is some gentle green laning, or becoming the next motocross star, you have to start somewhere and MORE gives you that first opportunity.”
