Fan to ride from Paris to Dakar for SolarAid

Wreford Miles has chosen SolarAid as the charity to help, raising money for our projects in Africa, by taking part in 2009's Heroes Legend Rally from Paris to Dakar.

Wreford Miles on the bike he will be riding on from Paris to Dakar

Wreford will be attempting this mammoth journey in just 14 days, racing an incredible 500km each day on his 1987 BMW R80 bike. The bike has been modified with added suspension, which will no doubt be needed with the tough terrain Wreford will encounter on his journey; including twisty mountain roads, oasis crossings, dusty tracks and sand dunes.

Wreford will leave Paris on March 7 and will ride through France, Spain, Morocco and Mauritania, finishing at the Lac Rose, Dakar, in Senegal on March 21.
