Thanks for giving us a a glimpse behind the scene during such a fantastic race. I followed live timing, kept my fingers crossed and maybe helped a tiny bit with all your other followers towards success. Lots of work and help and money needed to make such an event! Talent is not enough. Cheerio, Günter/Nürnberg

aw dude, thank you. You're super kind, I so appreciated all the energy. I'm confident I could feel the good vibes from afar in the desert!
Now here in this video you speak of fear and self doubt as you look at the mountain that lay ahead of you. In the days ahead you will not conquer the mountain you will conquer yourself, you are stronger than you know.

Fabulous Vanessa!

We wish you all the best for the race but really hope that you manage to enjoy the challenge and glory of it all along the way 🙂 Awesome!

Awesome. Hope to see the Dakar rally to return one day. Your super fit Vanessa... I'm sure you will do well. It's not only physical test but a mental one too. Your limits will no doubt be tested. One of your biggest challenges. Good luck

Excellent. Very wise to put on some weight before you set off...there's a daily limit to what the body can absorb in the course of a day, and it falls when you are working hard. Mr Poskett struggled to get enough food down when he did the Dakar a few years ago, starting the day with a huge bowl of cold stale past and 3 chocolate milks is enough of a challenge without having to ride a motorbike after. had to laugh at the Land Rover off-road...we did worse than that in a Citroen 2CV yesterday. But I don't think the 2CV could move that trailer, let alone tow it across France.

haha thanks Rich. Yeah the food was tough going. When you see the later episodes in the series you'll see the fight to eat enough. Not fun! haha the Citroen, that made me smile

@@TheGirlOnABike well, we got to the end of a rather truncated event and all had a good time. The 2CV sadly ate its timing gear the day before the trial. Would you consider doing the Edinburgh Trial (maybe on the H-D Pan america)? It would make a great grass-roots (or routes) video!
Bravissima!
