Watching the Dakar every year always makes me want to get on my bike and ride off-piste until it hurts. And when I do it, I get an amazing satisfaction from it: You know, the kind where you find you can hardly move for two days afterwards from being tired and sore. Now I want to do this now more often with other similar minded masochists.
The obvious answer is to start rally racing. Not enduros or MX, but long days and big distances of hard, technical, off piste riding.
So this will be my n00b´s rally update thread where I will plot my progress as I venture into this rather daunting world of "Camel-man" riders for those of you who want to follow my journey.
