Craig Bounds is out of the rally on the day before the rest day. Tamsin calls in with a report, and details on how you can contact Craig (SMS) with a word of cheer as he waits in a Chilean hospital.   Heal well, Craig. Thanks for letting us along on the ride.

We have another long chat with Jenny Morgan from her hospital bed in Chile, and she shares some incredible insight into what it's like to be an "everyday" (read: amateur) rider on the Dakar.  A must-listen for hardcore rally fans.

We talk with Jenny Morgan from her hospital bed in Chile post-surgery.  She crashed heavily on stage 4 yesterday and was evacuated via helicopter. She underwent surgery today to stabilize her leg injury, and we spoke to her shortly thereafter.  As always, she was full of incredible stories and very energetic despite the situation. Jenny on the ground before the medical corps got to her.

Now in Chile, Craig Bounds and Tamsin call in with a report after the high-altitude stage 4.

Jenny Morgan calls in with a report from her eventful stages 2 and 3.  Jenny's a RallyRAIDio pro, and leaves you with dust in your mouth after listening to her stories. :-)  

Craig Bounds calls in after a brutal Stage 3.  Most stages would be considered a disaster if you had to remove your front brake rotor. For Craig, that was just the beginning. He brings it home in hero fashion, though!  

Tamsin and Craig call in after an incredible day on the piste.  Lucky doesn't come close to describing it!     Go Boundsy!

Tamsin and Craig call in after completing stage 1. Despite his late start number and getting stung by a bee, Craig moved up well on the stage.

Tamsin Jones and Craig Bounds call in as Craig waits to depart on the opening liasion from Buenos Aires.  Thanks guys, and good luck!

Garry calls in with some detailed followup on questions and comments from the Safari discussion/coverage thread at ADVrider.com Pull up a barstool.  

Garry calls in with a post-event wrap up for what has to be the most successful Safari "post-ressurection". Well done Garry and Team Husaberg. Thanks for letting us ride over your shoulder, look forward to doing it again in 2011.  

Garry Connell calls in with his Leg 6 report, and some observations about how the event has changed (since its resurrection several years ago) from the "Safari's of Old". (This editor's opinion is that Octagon, the current organizers, have made huge strides in the past few years and are headed in the right direction in both the event organization, and media distribution. ~N)

Garry Connell calls in after Leg 4 with a report on his ride, the Team Husaberg situation, and the rallye in general.  I know I say it all the time, but Garry's got the knack for making you feel like you're right there with him.  Cheers, Garry!
