We were due to do 2 laps of 130km, we also picked up Paul (another Desert Rose rider) along the way and ended up as all riding together, but didn’t make it back to the end of the first lap in time. The Pilots Instruments - (from Top: ICO, Balise ditress alarm, Roadbook and GPS (on top of the Iritrack gps tracker)ĭay 2 – through the dunes! This was a harder day both in terms of riding and navigation. We then had Navigation and safety talks to attend before getting our ‘roadbooks’ (navigation icons on long scrolls of paper used to navigate like orienteering) marked up and fitted – We were finally done in time for the official dinner and race briefing at 8.30pm!
#PEOPLE FOR BIKES QUICKPLAN FULL#
On Sunday we had a full day of admin checks (all our documentation, licenses paperwork etc) which mostly consisted of paying large amounts of money out! Followed by a timed session to fit all the GPS, Satellite comms and navigation gear we had just bought or hired to our bikes and then present our bikes for scrutineering checks. It’s been a hectic week or two since I decided to go for the Morroco Rally at the last minute and the pace has been even more frantic since arriving!Īfter 14 hours travelling on Friday (including an 8 hour taxi ride), and then prepping and sorting out the bikes on Saturday. (click on Moto and tick my race number 207 to see where I am!) I’ll keep this brief as unfortunately I don’t have the internet access I was expecting throughout the week (the ‘organisation’ has now password protected it and we have to troop up to another hotel!) – Basically we have just finished day 3 with stonking results!Īlso if you want to to see me racing alongside (all right several hours behind!) world champions Cyril Despres and Marc Coma in real time check out this link:
