Here are some pics from the rallye raid which my mate compiled from various cameras. Unfortunately, my camera was donated to the local inhabitants, but these are just as good. I'll post them and comment on them in a rough timeline :)

This is some of the lads on the way up there from PE. Navigator in the middle and Brian on the left – who was soon to write off his GS on the tar

Here’s the result – high speed overcooking of a corner a hundred k’s from the venue at wartrail

Pat on his SE arriving at the campsite. This year there were blue tents and other colours amongst the orange KTM colours

The evening starting to get chilly. Dropped to minus 6 in the night

As you can see the next day

Could easily be in Europe!

Early past of the riding on day 1 – this cave was quite impressive, as was the path we had to navigate past it

Lunch – notice Navigator has been at the gym

Pat took a head first into a muddy pool – looked shallow, but it wasn’t. He got a bump on his leg.

Chewing the cud after the first day’s ride. Notice how thirsty riding can make you

Getting ready for the evening jol. Little did we know what was to come.

Thats about it. There are a lot more, but I’ve realised doing RR’s is hard work!
 
Here are some other pics from last year to whet your appetite. It's really worth taking some time to check out all the pics so that you can see what an amazing event this is!

Nice pics J-dog. The riding was truly amazing at last years Rally Raid. Great part of our country that.

This year I am missing out, if all goes well we will be adding a little lady to the family, at exactly the same time.
 
2011 will be even better.....cant wait......J dog, is Chris going this year?

Gotta have ALL the Super Tenere's, Africa Twins, TransAlps (the revelation of last year's RR imho), KLR's and GS's there.

We cannot allow the "road legal" plastics to dominate!

Rumour has it that Chris Birch and the World Enduro champ (Nichols? Nicholson?) will also be there to try and rub shoulders with me and da JDog............. :mwink: :mwink: :mwink: :mwink: :mwink:
