The Adventurists

If you feel synergy with this key takeaway we suggest you blue sky your keyboard towards a spot on the Rickshaw Run Himalaya this July. It sits at the intersection of chaos and adventuring joy. No whiteboards, no circling back and absolutely no touching of any bases.

"Yep. Definitely stuck." A masterclass in parking a monkey bike in a puddle of mud in an otherwise bone dry river bed. You can bury your own miniature bike in mud this April on the Monkey Run Morocco.

This asshat is giving away $5000. What’s the catch you ask? Every cent must be spent on taking part in an irresponsible adventure. Applications are open now at theadventurists.com/asshat

The Monkey Run Morocco wobbles off again on New Years Day and there's still time to bless your buttocks with a week-long spanking of adventuring stupidity. No motorcycle license required. Come alone and team up with fellow fools at the start camp or round up a couple of mates.

Introducing the $5000 Don McLester Adventuring Stupidity Scholarship. Anyone who hears the call to mischief but doesn't have enough cash for an adventure this year is eligible. Info & applications: theadventurists.com/asshat/

The finest dirt tracks, back roads and no roads filmed by teams on the Rickshaw Run India back in September '23. We've got 3 spots left on the next edition in April.

Fuller than a fat man in a biscuit factory... August edition of our Rickshaw Run Himalaya adventure is sold out. The July outing is down to the last few spots.

Rickshaw Run India launch day in 90 splendid seconds. We've got 4 spots left on the next edition in April. Squash a couple of mates in a rolling cake tin and force it the length of India. Thanks to the teams of Sep '23 for their videos - more montage-tastic throwbacks soon.

Excellent idea by Tommy Nicholls after he did our Monkey Run Peru adventure - "I got this tattoo so when I’m stuck in a nursing home, (provided I make it that long) I can look down at my sullen 90 year old chest and remember the wildest trip of my life."

Monkey bikes were made for Mongolia, so we bloody love this tattoo. Jules Ferme had this Steppe scene inked after riding across Mongolia on a 50cc mini bike on our Monkey Run Mongolia adventure.

@RonDayvu55 If he doesnt open the gates on this one soon there are rumours of a coup

People of the USA. It's happening. The bikes are even smaller and even more gloriously inappropriate. Monkey Run USA is coming soon (but actually this time).

@AaronMJarrell1 Excellent news, welcome to the fight to make the world less boring. Is this your first adventure with us?

@TheAdventurists I’m signed up for April!

Rickshaw Run India drone shots by Team WIH back in 2020. We've got 12 spots left on the April 2025 edition. You launch from Kerala down south and finish rather a long way to the north in Rajasthan two weeks later. No set route. No back up. Adventuring stupidity perfected.

@Brendan_Lee__ It is a corker of a tatt

@TheAdventurists Wow!

This is a cracker. Planned route vs unplanned route on the Monkey Run Mongolia as a tattoo. Saylor & Zach both got this beauty inked in Ulaanbaatar after riding 50cc monkeys across the Mongolian steppe earlier this year. Excellent work chaps.

@Southcoastmtb We have often re-asserted our official position on documentation conundrums like this while completely separately recommending an inkjet with a matte finish on 150 gsm.

@TheAdventurists Back in 2013 I forged a v5 in a Ukrainian hostel so we could continue with the rally. That has to be a unique achievement? Still got the part you send to the DVLA to export the car.

Mongol Rally in numbers 2004 - 2010. Has it been long enough for the mighty infographic to make a comeback? Does the world need to know how many more ralliers experienced an 'in car underwear browning' over the last 14 years?

@Southcoastmtb True artistry in the face of adversity.

@Flyin_spanner Which team were you in?

@TheAdventurists I competed in 2005 and the Browning will never wash out.

@Flyin_spanner Built to last. 05 is true vintage.

The first ever interview with Jenny, who helped Tom create the Mongol Rally then The Adventurists and took part in the 2004 rally. Now she's on record for the first time chatting to Aaron from the Armchair Explorers podcast Check out the episode: open.spotify.com/episode/4wILDy…
