Join enduro group Riders 4 Rights for a five day enduro tour through the Sahara desert to raise money for Riders For Health.
The ride, which begins in Morocco picks up classic Paris Dakar Rally routes and involves a 5 day, 6 night tour suitable for good enduro riders.
Previous participants in this event, which has run for eight years, have gone on to complete the full Paris Dakar Rally.
This year the tour rides out from Marrakech through the twisty turney mountain roads over the High Atlas mountains at 12,000ft.
From the snowpeaks of the summit the ride swoops down into the warmth of the Sahara desert with rocky canyons, dune fields and high speed flat dry lakes.
Participants will welcome in the New Year in an Oasis in the Sahara.
