The Lisbon to Dakar Rally is the most demanding race in
the world. According to Dakar officials and those who have competed
in the 5,600 mile race, the rally demands unparalleled expertise in
cross-country navigation; sophisticated technical knowledge about
the intricacies of high-powered motorcycles; consistency and
conservativeness in running a “smart” race; the physical strength to
endure thousands of miles of treacherous riding in all types of
terrain and weather; and, the true grit, determination, and will to
win. Jonah Street meets and exceeds all the criteria.
Jonah honed his riding skills in the semi-arid hills and plains of
Central Washington. He was born with a keen sense of observation
and, the wisdom to trust his instincts. He follows the rules of
sensibility and yet, has the courage to forge his own path. Had
Jonah been born centuries earlier, he surely would have been a
desert nomad following the stars and the wind in his quest for
adventure. Jonah is a navigator extraordinaire.
