The only way I can describe today is.. the most epic day on a motorcycle ever!
Everyone put the fear of God into me about Mauritania and how horrifically, soft and brutally challenging the sand is. So I’ve been terrified but turns out I absolutely love the sand here. The dunes were no bigger than a 2 story building, super smooth and rolling but totally windswept on the tops. It meant that you were just rodeoing; jumping and launching, it was wild fun.

We all have different opinions and perspectives, which is totally fine. But today’s lesson. Never base your expectations on other peoples opinions.

Highlight of today was when I had a little dance with a donkey. The donkey was in the middle of the road so I went left then he went left, he went right as I went right and repeat. It was like a little dance and his little donkey face was the cutest thing. It filled me with big smiles.

I passed a couple of other riders today having mechanical issues, and I am grateful that my KTM Rally Replica 450 has been an absolute dream, bringing me home with no issues on another big Africa Eco Race stage.
