Team The Dusty Donkey

Tore Vareberg
Of The Dusty Donkey
On the Mongol Rally 2026

Team Name: The Dusty Donkey [possible this can be changed later — but it probably won’t make us sound smarter.]

Members: Ommund, Tore & Jørn

Vehicle: A CFMOTO UFORCE 1000 XL – a six-seater farm implement with big dreams.

Route: Norway ? Probably somewhere far worse.

We’re three men old enough to know better, but too stubborn to care.

Our noble steed is not a car, not a truck, not even something you’d take on a paved road — it’s a UTV. Designed for hauling sheep feed across muddy fields, not crossing continents. Perfect.

We plan to drive from Norway to wherever the wheels, the laws of physics, and our questionable decisions allow.

Our goals are simple:

1. Survive long enough to regret this.

2. Keep the UTV moving with duct tape, cable ties, and prayer.

3. Avoid becoming a cautionary tale told by future Mongol Rally teams.

Each of us brings something essential to the team:

• Ommund – the planner. Meticulous, calm, and already dead inside.

• Tore – the wildcard. Thinks maps are “vibes-based.”

• Jørn – the optimist. We keep him for morale, and to test food of unknown origin.

Together we’re Team The Dusty Donkey — a mix of misplaced confidence, mechanical ignorance, and the faint smell of diesel and despair.

If you see us on the road, please honk, wave, or offer help. Preferably all three.The Dusty Donkey – riding into chaos in style
