My wife and a great family friend are competing as full-blown Rebelle Rally rookies this year (#204 Team MtnSubi) neither of them having done anything remotely like this, and it has been amazing to see how challenging, rugged, and beautiful the terrain is.

every year the slew of articles around this rally comes up... and every year I promise to swap my sports car for an offroader to participate.
these ladies are amazing and I envy you! good luck and be safe! Read more

More of this, please! I love the Rebelle and the tone of your reporting on it is just great. Read more
