Hi guys - new to the board and just dropped in to see if you have any advice and to let you guys know what's happening other side of the world - in the United Arab Emirates. Mid-January me and two bros are going to attempt to be the first people to ride Around the UAE Off-Road. That's around 1200km of serious sand dune desert (crossing the northern-most corner of the Rub al Khali, largest sand desert in the world) of flat gravel plains and of stark mountains - no touching tarmac. We've registered for a Guinness World Record, and hopefully we'll be able to get it accepted. 6-9 days of insane riding, guys! 8) - January 16-24, 2009 We're going to be filming a web-documentary with helmet cams and we've got the support of companies that believe in the spirit of adventure: QUAD BIKES PROVIDED BY: SUPPORT VEHICLE PROVIDED BY: and the UAE exclusive distributor: START/ARRIVAL CEREMONIES AND PRESS CONFERENCE LOCATION PROVIDED BY: A "REACH YOUR DREAMS" ACTIVITY BY UGRU STUDENT DEVELOPMENT AT: AND WITH THE PROUD SUPPORT OF THE MEMBERS AT DUBAI DESERT CLUB: The adventure of a lifetime starts with organizations that understand the drive for accomplishment, and without sponsors it would be impossible to do. If there's interest on the board, I'll be glad to keep you guys updated on how we're preparing, on what the route is, how we're organizing, and what difficulties we face and how we'll work to overcome them - your advice or comments or warnings are welcome! If our adventure can inspire yours, then make us welcome!
