Jenny rings in from the Atlantic coast of Morocco, after having secured 3rd position on today's stage! Way to go, Jenny!

Safely through the no-man's land and across the border into Mauritania, Jenny rings in as they prepare to tackle the monster dune stages ahead. The Desert Rose riders are doing well, and as often goes for support crews during rallies, they've adopted some new hangers-on. Jenny's loving the Tenere and is finding it an excellent companion in the desert.

Incredible. If you've ever wondered what the Heroes Legend was really like, or thought that it might be a tourist trip along the old Dakar route, listen in and think again. Mr. Yamaha dropped in after Rallye Maroc and checked out the new generation Tenere. Wonder if we'll see some of the big boys at the Heroes next year...? Hope to hear from you at the Pink Lake tomorrow, Jenny!.

A coffee-deprived JennyMo rings in from the Madrid airport at oh-dark-thirty with her post-event wrap up. Splendid stuff, Jenny. Thanks for letting us ride Inside the Helmet on this year's Heroes!

Part 2 of JennyMo's post-event wrap up. Splendid stuff, Jenny. Thanks for letting us ride Inside the Helmet on this year's Heroes.

Jenny's rung in with her first call-in. The weather's thrown them a curveball thusfar, but the tone of her voice says she's having a grand time.

Jenny rings in after a brutal day on the piste in Morocco. Mick has crashed out with a hard concussion, and is currently in hospital with injured vertebrae. Clive (Patsy's husband) cut his hand. Jenny lost rear wheel bearing at 60km/h and took the caliper bracket with it, which she thought would take her out of the rally but thank heavens for the service crew (who had their own troubles!). Hopefully the days ahead will be a bit more kind, as they're only about 1/4 through the event so far!

Jenny calls in before the start, 8 days into the rallye. Still in Morocco, they've a long way to go yet. I think she's got the knack of this call in thing -- what do you guys think?

Cummo on the phone with quad rider Lionel Laine, who is leading the Overall Cross-country rallye standings for the year.

Cummo tracks down Sherco pilot Philippe Jacquet to hear how development of the Sherco Rallye Bike is coming along. KTM 690 pilot Stephane Hamard also fills us in on his experiences thusfar.

David Dickinson catches us up to speed as well as sharing a day in the life on the rallye. For those who wondered why he wasn't show on the starting list today, he explains that as well. Good luck tomorrow, David!

Cummo chats with ADV Inmate Rick Hatswell whose Dakar plans for this year are in dire jeopardy after breaking his leg on the Rallye yesterday. In fact, if you'd like, you can buy a ready-to-go package for El Dakaro in January... Rick sounds in better spirits than I'd expect to be...

Don Hatton on the line with a report from Day 2. Sad news in the bivouac as two event staff are killed in an accident on the piste, with others injured. Don's had a rough go of it but is still hanging in there, while ADV inmate Rick is out with a broken leg. Don's hoping tomorrow's terrain suits him and the 690 Enduro better than the first two days. Rick, hope you're back to fighting shape by Dakar...!

Our man on the scene, Cummo, catches up with rallye circuit regular Pal Anders Ullevalseter, of Norway. As a perennial front-running privateer, Pal Anders fills us in on his plans for the Dakar this year and gives some thoughts on the 690/450 debate.

An upbeat Don Hatton calls in after scrutineering. They had a bit of a challenge as the bike and team were delayed at sea due to a storm, then needed to rectify some wiring issues, but all is well now and he's looking forward to getting on with things tomorrow.

David Dickinson rings in from Marrakesh on the eve of the Rallye. From his post on Adventure Rider: I'm in - (No 17) and also being supported by Patsy's Desert Rose Racing. Looking forward to meeting the Canadians and the one other Brit in this essentially French race. I've not had great preparation with my Enduro bike being stolen in May (don't ask )!! and me not managing to replace it until late August. I don't suppose riding my 990 R all summer counts for much. Still I'm really looking forward to it, an English description of the route is here: http://www.npo.fr/maroc2009/pdf/CP5-MAR09-230909EN.pdf The main site for the Event is here, they may have a tracking feature once the Rallye starts: http://www.npo.fr/maroc2009/ And if you fancy supporting the charity I am doing it for please visit this site: http://www.justgiving.com/David-Dickinson/ Many thanks David Good luck, David! Can't wait to hear more updates on the rally.

Jason Britton is at California Speedway filming stunts for the movie, The Taking of Pelham 123. Jason marvels at the technicalities put in place to secure that perfect shot.
