Hi, as some would know I competed in the 2010 heroeslegend rally and thoroughly enjoyed the event on my tenere.

The only thing is it was a one off for me, as it does cost a bit, so when out of the blue, Patsy Quick rang me(in may/june) asking if I would like to come on board the team as a mechanic for this years rally, really she had me at orange bike!.
So next wednesday the 26 I head over to the desertrose HQ to help loading the truck and head off for Paris and ultimately Dakar. excited you betcha!

anyhow there were 12 riders on the team now 11 as John mich. proprietor of rallyraid products broke his wrist last week, fixing guttering no less!. anyhow team desertrose is the biggest team (mostly ktm 690's) on the rally being supported by 3 mechanics and a driver.

so keep an eye out on http://www.heroeslegend.com/page-1-1-en.html i hope to do a write up and a few pics when i return.

If you's come across any interesting bits, why not add them here as sometimes you guys know more of whats going on than someone like myself out in the middle of it.

Many thanks, bernard
