Don Hatton calls in with two stories; the first, how he nearly had his bike burned in the Parc Ferme conflagration, and the second, of his Stage 1 trials which included forgetting his time card and very nearly being pitched from the Rally (twice!).  Enjoy!Hope things smooth out, Don!

Ludo Boinnard, racing in a team alongside David Casteu and Mike Pisano, gets our call ins kicked off before the ceremonial start in Buenos Aires.Bonne Chance, Ludo!

Part 2 of JennyMo's post-event wrap up. Splendid stuff, Jenny.

Thanks for letting us ride "Inside the Helmet" on this year's Heroes.

A coffee-deprived JennyMo rings in from the Madrid airport at

oh-dark-thirty with her post-event wrap up. Splendid stuff, Jenny.

Thanks for letting us ride "Inside the Helmet" on this year's Heroes!

Incredible. If you've ever wondered what the Heroes Legend was really

like, or thought that it might be a "tourist trip" along the old Dakar

route, listen in and think again.

"Mr. Yamaha" dropped in after Rallye Maroc and checked out the new

generation Tenere. Wonder if we'll see some of the big boys at the

Heroes next year...?

Hope to hear from you at the Pink Lake tomorrow, Jenny!.

Safely through the no-man's land and across the border into Mauritania,

Jenny rings in as they prepare to tackle the monster dune stages ahead.

The Desert Rose riders are doing well, and as often goes for support

crews during rallies, they've adopted some new hangers-on.

Jenny's loving the Tenere and is finding it an excellent companion in the desert.

Jenny rings in from the Atlantic coast of Morocco, after having secured 3rd position on today's stage! Way to go, Jenny!

Jenny calls in before the start, 8 days into the rallye. Still in

Morocco, they've a long way to go yet. I think she's got the knack of

this call in thing -- what do you guys think?

Jenny rings in after a brutal day on the piste in Morocco. Mick has

crashed out with a hard concussion, and is currently in hospital with

injured vertebrae. Clive (Patsy's husband) cut his hand. Jenny lost

rear wheel bearing at 60km/h and took the caliper bracket with it,

which she thought would take her out of the rally but thank heavens for

the service crew (who had their own troubles!).

Hopefully the days ahead will be a bit more kind, as they're only about 1/4 through the event so far!

Jenny's

rung in with her first call-in. The weather's thrown them a curveball

thusfar, but the tone of her voice says she's having a grand time.
