CCM Factory Ride Out
Discussion
Did the CCM factory ride out in the Lake district last weekend. What a fantastic trip.
Before going I imagined it to be green-lanes with maybe a few ruts.
How wrong? It was bl00dy hard with steep climbs over rocks and boulders with lots of falling off (at low speed, no one was hurt and they provide all the kit). EVERY one of the people on the day fell off, including the two guides from CCM that do this every day, it really is that hard. But the great feeling you get at the top of each stage is imeasurable.
Highly recommend it to anyone - with or without off road experience.

Direct with the factory (or on their website at www.ccm-motorcycles.com/).
It's £300 for weekdays or £325 for weekends which includes absolutely everything except beer and food.
You need to give them a deposit of £100 for bike damage, but they always refund this 99% of the time.
One of the chaps on our day lobbed his bike 4 feet into the air, it landed heavily in a ditch and bent the oil cooler, pegs, etc. They picked it up, kicked the parts straight again and set him on his way. At the end they just say "Well it still goes and nothing is hanging off" so deposits were refunded. Top blokes!
