Death Valley Rally 2005

Post by Scott »

Death Valley Rally

We spent 4 days out in Death Valley and Dumont Dunes riding Charlie Rauseo's Death Valley Rally. Charlie had much of his Dakar team there. Overall we had a nice group to ride with. Charlie had setup two 150+ mile (240km) routes, and Duane and I had mapped a 41 mile (66km) short loop. We all rode those routes over a two or three day period, mixed in with dunes practice, working on bikes, talk of Dakar, ond more. Each route was fully mapped out on large format roadbooks including GPS waypoints, cap headings, and other navigation info. All went fairly well, with no injuries, and only a few “lost in the desertâ€

Sounds like it's going well with the usual cracks and breaks, of course. Keep us posted on your training plans and dates on the off chance that we can look you up in the dunes somewhere in Mexico.
