Used to have a yz250 .. Beach raced it at mablethorpe .. cracking fun

Miss having an off roader .. been hankering after a xlr250 of late .. must be my age / love of air cooled simplicity

mate of mine recently bought nice xr250 baya for £800- great bike (just need gear them lower for decent off road use) and much easier to start than the xr400

another option
talked to the guys at cambrian way (link i posted before) and they can only cater for people with own bike and no bike hire ideas but put me onto these guys in welshpool (nr shrewsbury) instead

http://trailridinguk.com/index.php
http://trailridinguk.com/videos/

i talked to them and they can do £180 (inc bike) for 1day riding+1night accom/ £370 (inc bike) for 2day+2nights on groups of 4+ riders
they are fully booked all weekends till dec so this for midweek only!

this is probably the last option in this part of country unless can get bikes in which case options are many

who's interested
Just to try and see how many are interested/ who they are and if/when can they make a midweek slot-
not sure how to start organising this but knowing who's in and what they want gives half a chance- failing that we'll have to settle for a p✂ss up in a brewery
