Australasian Safari Rally 2011

Postby Crazyswede » Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:03 pm

So I have set my sites on competing in the Australasian Safari Rally this September which runs from September 23 - 30th in Western Australia. I am traveling and competing with Team USA which currently consists of about 6 riders and 1 car team. Handily there is a USA liaison who who is doing a ton of the ground work and logistics so its not nearly as daunting.

I'll post more as I go.

it happens. The clip of the guy on the bike taking a digger along the fence line might have resulted in a flight out....hard to tell. Sometimes those falls look horrific but are not so bad for the rider while the bike gets bent....sometimes the bike is fine and the rider gets bent.
