We will travel through 17+ countries, cross 3 deserts, and traverse 5 mountain ranges; all with no set route, minimal planning, and even less common sense.</p> <p>The Rally begins at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in London, England and ends about a month later and over a quarter of the way around the globe in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia.</p> <p>The rally starts at the Goodwood Racetrack near London, UK and finishes in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia about 16,000 km away as the drunk crow flies. What happens in between is up to us. Part of the fun of the adventure is finding our own way to Mongolia through some of the harshest driving conditions imaginable: 5 mountain ranges, 3 deserts, bad roads, no roads, limited service opportunities, and very tall language barriers. Our proposed approximate route takes us from the UK through the Alps into Turkey, and then through Iran up to Russia and into Mongolia. For the spirit of adventure pesky aids such as GPS and maps are not recommended, leaving the all the navi-guessing up to interpreting road signs and charades in many unfamiliar languages.</p> <p>SWEET PICTURE OF A TERRIBLE CAR STUCK IN THE MUD OR SOMETHING</p> ***************************************************************************** end of extra paragraphs --><!--/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR SPONSORS\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ <p>Canadian Bacon! 2011 would like to thank the following sponsors for their support:</p> <p>Feet-Off-The Ground High Five to:</p> <p>Hearty Handshakes go out to:</p> <p>A Thumbs Up goes to:</p> <p>And a Stern Nod to: </p> -->
