About our Races
Stars, Bars, and Scars
In September of 2011 I'll be taking my third trip with The Adventurists. This one will nearly three weeks driving across Peru.
My friend Travis and I are taking on Peru in what the locals call a "sofa on a motorbike." We will be driving thousands of miles, through the Andes, the Amazon, the Great Salt Flats, all the while kicking ass and taking names as we cross the finish line well before any other team. The mototaxi will have GPS on it so you can track us live as we carve up the landscape!

Lucknow Be 2 Ladies (2009)
Lucknow Be 2 Ladies consists of two autorickshaws with four members, Helen Ahern, Pippa Daniels, Jason Lewis, and Jeff McMahan.
From the isolated city of Shillong in the NE corner of India, the team will be navigating hostile enviornments enroute to the final destination. From the base of the Himalayas to drink some Darjeeling tea to jungles, flatlands, rivers, and various unexpected encounters, we will sacrifice all in a bid to wind up on the beaches of SW Goa April 25th.

Every Dollar, Euro, and Pound is worth 100 fold to these...

WWCD team then painted the autorichsaws, added a 50 watt PA system and mounted dual speakers. On Race day, all the autorickshaws were moved to the center of Kathmandu where the Kings used to be annointed. First day run ended in Botwal, Nepal, at the Hotel Siddhartha...
