Torridge & District motorcycle club was founded in 1957. The club organised Trials, Motorcross and Enduro events for over 50 years but now concentrates on running Trials events for people of all ages and abilities.

The club operates in the North and West Devon area organising trials all year round from Tavistock to Hartland. We cater for all abilities of rider from beginners to experts and from youth to the over 50s. We regularly hold small club meetings but also host regional and national events. So, if you want to join an off-road motorcycle club, small enough to make you feel welcome, but large enough, and with experience of staging events to the highest national level, all for £ 5.00 per annual membership, please feel free to contact us.

We hope this site gives newcomers to the sport of off-road motorcycling an insight to what it is all about, and for regulars, fixture lists, club news and results.
