Seven women set out in the very first Dakar Rally 47 years ago. These French women were formidable racers in a sea of testosterone in the inaugural Paris-Dakar Rally.

Today I met a wonderful chap from Canada- Tamlyn Beesley is on a 40 day motorcycle road trip and when he passed through Portland briefly we met up for coffee at See See!
He told me tales of the 108 degree Mojave, and first gear turns of Bible Creek Rd in Oregon (which I had never been on… gasp). It’s always nice meeting people on their road trips, even if it makes me a bit jealous.
