This Raid
What You're
Signing Up For.
This is the raid currently taking bookings. Everything below is confirmed: the dates, the convoy size, the support vehicle and the medic. When the seats are gone the date closes — we do not add riders to a convoy that is already full.
The world's highest motorable road, at 5,882 metres. Thin air, thinner margins, and a support vehicle carrying supplemental oxygen the entire way.
