Day 1: Riders summoned for basic training

​

Despatch Rider Training will include off-road techniques and friendly grass-racing. We hope to see another diverse array of bikes this year and are pleased to offer a good range of skills and activities for participants to attempt. Courses and terrain will offer something for all skill levels from beginner through to expert. Our format for the first day will see a relaxed feel, allowing riders to enjoy the ambience and adjust to the surroundings for the weekend ahead. 

​

​

 

• The Ammo Dash (Moto Joust) - Styled against the iconic format of jousting, riders will gather at opposite ends of a straight course. You will receive 3 runs in which you will attempt to gather ammunition, medical, and rations. The centre point of the course will act as the finish line and riders will receive their win for crossing the central finishing line first.

​

• The Covert Canyon - This is to test skill, control, and technique. The course will see riders  follow a course through our great Dorset Canyon venue. Timed runs will be recorded up the winding hill climb course.

​

    New for 2025

​

• Catch the Cub - A longer hillclimb course will be ridden. Riders will be given the task of catching the enemy scouts (riding Honda Cub's). Scouts will be given a set distance head start based on the engines size of the chaser.
