Unlike the previous morning, bright sunlight streamed through the broad windows of the MacCarley's house, and we were awoken to the smell of cinnamon buns and blueberry muffins. RGE do not often have the chance to have breakfast as we are so often pushing to get to the next destination, but on this occasion we ...
There were 3 very exciting things that were due to be happening today, and so it was an eager and keen RGE team that turned up at the Luscious Garage at 9am to pick up the SRZero. Just an aside, I should point out that it was now a Saturday, and Luscious Garage was actually ...
Firstly, before continuing with the blog, I have to once again apologise for falling behind with the updates. I have had many emails of support from you, our cherished readership, encouraging us to keep up the flow of news. We would like to thank you for this, and I want to assure you that we ...
Today was certainly not going to be the longest day of driving, just under 100 miles actually, but there were two very exciting things that were going to happen. Firstly, Ben from CAR magazine needed a set of really great coastal driving shots which were crucial for the PR side of the project, and secondly, ...
After a really refreshing sleep in some nice beds for a change, we woke to cloudless sky and temperatures hitting 35°C; absolute paradise! However, when walking over to the car to see how it was doing, we found the circuit breakers in the charging point had tripped and the car was only at 25% state ...

If you could imagine the least most glamorous place in the world, add to it some cold, damp weather, and that was the sight that greeted us upon waking up...a desolate downtown car park. But despondence didn’t last for long as Richard suddenly arrived on his bike with Claudio on the back carrying large quantities ...
Our fifth morning in Vancouver dawned just the same as every other; bright, blue and warm! However, today signified something quite new for the team. For the first time ever, we completed our first full country, and in true RGE style, this was the world’s second largest country! But before approaching the border, which was ...
Tok RV park was a splendid place, with well kept lawns, an abundance of trees, and substantially less mosquitoes than we have become accustomed to! It also had Fast Eddy’s, a restaurant nearby which as you may recall from the last blog post, served delicious food. This may not seem like much if one was ...
Day 5 dawned bright and (very) early as the team slept fitfully for the second night at Chena Hot Springs. Well, most of the team were sleeping, but the German contingent (Nik and Clemens) were up early to watch Germany thrash Argentina 4-0. They had a good time rubbing this into the rest of ...
