Title: Winter Rallyes
Post by: milkman on January 04, 2007, 06:23:48 AM

Morning all,
With all the toher posts regarding winter riding etc I was wondering if any of you have ever done the Dragon Rally in Wlaes or Elefant Rallye in Germany? Or is there a North American equivalent?

I've always wanted too but haven't found myself in that part of the world....

Love to hear any stories.....

For more current information on the same ride, go to Adventure Rider and do a search on "Elephant"

Yeah thats the sort ofthing I was talking about.

The old pictures from the long running Welsh Dragon rally are awesome. Mad cats in oilskin/waxed cotton coats, camping in the snow, drinking rum etc etc.

One of those things you love to hate while you do it.
