This October we'll be off to Morocco to take part in the Monkey Run. In the spirit of using completely unsuitable vehicles to cover difficult terrain, we'll be driving 50cc Monkey Bikes across the Sahara Desert, over the Atlas Mountains, and into Marrakech. Tiny bike, giant adventure.

As a prerequisite to sign up for something so grandly stupid, we've been asked to raise 500 GBP for Cool Earth. Since they're helping to solve the largest crisis facing our planet we figure it's a fair deal.

Please take a moment to donate, any amount will help bring down global temperatures.

We'll be posting updates when we can as we go. If you followed along with the Sri Lanka Rickshaw Run last year, or any of our other silly adventures over the past decade, you'll know what sorts of things to expect:

Being lost a lot of the time; a zillion lil cuts, scrapes and general discomfort; a deluge of unpredictable events and chaos; miraculous little wins; camaraderie and shenanigans; and the random malevolence and kindness of strangers along the way.

Let's get together and toss a little money at saving this place so there'll still be a vibrant planet to host adventures for generations to come.
