The 12 Founder Members of the BSMC – Desert Rose Rallye Team entered the 2022 Edition of the Greek Odyssey Rally hoping for adventure. Well, they certainly had an adventure, riding in excess of 1500 km through truly breath taking scenery. Both the riders and the bikes were put through their paces, with some of the ascents and descents not for the faint hearted.
The team spirit and camaraderie was evident throughout the week.

From the earliest discussions between BSMC and Desert Rose this team event was some 12 months in the planning. Riders attended training days, rallye briefs, some bought new bikes and all put in plenty of training to prepare themselves for the event. They got spares boxes organised and kit bags ready. The Desert Rose team then made sure that all of the bikes, kit and spares were at the start line in Greece ready for the start.
After the first day’s riding they knew why the training and preparation were so important. This was not a gentle trail ride on UK green lanes.
It is fair to say a number of the team are already planning their next rallye.
