2008 Roof of Africa built on a solid history


In 1967, fourty-two years ago, the Roof of  Africa  was  contested  for  the

For those international competitors who has never been to Lesotho, or raced

UAE Desert Challenge Round Up


Left or right...



Sitting down for lunch on the Saturday after the final day with a very
subdued Bowler team, Drew Bowler asked if it was always like this --
the feeling of 'flatness'. We had all just spent a hectic 5
days in the desert (not to mention the weeks of build up) and we were all
left with what felt like a gaping chasm in our lives.

Update on the truck / car recovery that the Team Saluki guys have been
assisting on.   Both vehicles are now out of the desert successfully - it
seems that having the correct jack that's required to change the wheel on
