With every New Year comes new opportunity and we’re hoping you’ve got plenty of ‘must-do’ rides and activities littering the 2020 diary Aunt Ethel got you for Christmas. But just in case you need a bit of a helping hand in the imagination department, we’ve banged our heads together to shine a light on some of our favourite tracks, roads and experiences that you should add to this year’s bucket list…
Frodo: Snake Pass (and surrounding areas)
Speed cameras, they ruin everything, eh? Well thankfully, there’s a few routes that are still unspoiled. The Snake Pass is a 7km ascent through the Derbyshire section of the Peak District, complete with some decent road surface, gorgeous views and some proper knee-down spec corners. What more could anyone want? It gets a little busy at times, and it writhes with the Po-Po wanting to whack out speeding tickets at every opportunity, so my advice is to go a little off-piste, and you’ll be rewarded. We did a few road tests within a 30km vicinity of the Snake Pass and it was some of the best road-riding experiences I’ve ever had. To top it off, there’s a whole host of nice cafés, pubs and rustic villages around as well, but just make sure you head up when the weather is looking good…

DAN LINFOOT THE WORLD AT HIS FEET...
The racing world is full of characters who generally like to keep themselves to themselves, and I respect that. However, some of these people have a great story to tell. I'm incredibly fortunate to be friends with a few, have access to many more, and through my role with the award-winning podcast Chasin' the Racing, I get to sit down and chew the fat with some amazing individuals, so I wanted to give you lovely bunch a peep through the keyhole and an opportunity to get to know a bit more about some of these 'people of interest'.
ROSSI'S RANCH - LA 100KM DEI CAMPIONI
It's not every day you get the invite to trade paint, drifts and stories with Rossi and a bunch of world champions, but that's how life played out for the Neave twins a few weeks back.
RATING RUBBER...
We love a tyre launch, and especially ones of a sporty disposition. So when Michelin dropped us a line about not one, but two additions to their range, we didn't need our arm twisting to get stuck in and see what they're all about...
2017-2021 SUZUKI GSX-S750
Is the understated Suzuki GSX-S750 worth considering in the used market?
YAMAHA MT-09 - If you like your bikes nutty, naked and packed full of punch, you'll love the fourth-generation Yamaha MT-09.
Ten years ago, I found myself a part of the maddest, baddest, and arguably most illegal motorcycling I've ever a put my name to.
BACK TO THE FUTURE - KTM DUKE 990
It's been a while since KTM last had a 990 Duke in its range, but the name is back - and this new addition is perhaps one of its most exciting offerings ever. Here's why...
A CUT ABOVE
Four years on from the revolutionary release of the RCV-inspired Fireblade, Honda's given its flagship sportsbike a masterpiece of a makeover.
Steve Parrish
I'm fresh back from the South African Classic TT races and Christ, it's still bloody raining over here.
Christian Iddon
Well, my last column was all about just how I'm going to be the most prepared I could ever be for the season ahead.
SHOEI X-SPR PRO
I'll cut to it... when it comes to my kit, I don't mess around - especially when it comes to helmets.
