Dakar, Lac Rose

The moment of glory has arrived when all the pain and suffering is forgotten and the sense of accomplishment starts to settle in. After more than 5000 km and 13 days of full on racing the Rally has reached the finish line on the shores of Lac Rose, stone throw distance from Dakar.

The last stage was a celebratory excursion over the dunes to the Atlantic ocean and few kilometers north to a pristine stretch of beach where we gathered for a group photo and a small celebrations. The friendships forged after two weeks of sharing rocky and sandy trail, suffering through freezing cold Atlas air and surviving hot Senegalese days, digging deep to cross the desolate Mauritanian deserts will endure for years and the memories will last a lifetime.
Shortly we will celebrate with an awards ceremony and a party which will last into morning hours.
