About the Adventure
We are Sheryl, Becky and Lucy. Together we make up the Soyombo Racers. In July 2008 we will join 299 other teams to begin a humongously ridiculous, cross-continental race to Mongolia. And we will cross the 10,000 + mile journey to Mongolia in a little red car names Uwe.
"Why the devil are you doing that!" I hear you cry at your computer screen. Why?.. for the adventure, for the japes, for the fine Mongolian cuisine, for the stories at the pub afterwards but most importantly to raise money for Mercy Corps, Macmillan Cancer Care and Hope and Homes for Children.
This is where you can be part of our adventure! Think of this page as a slightly less seedy version of the gambling shop, where you bet whether or not we'll make it all the way to Mongolia in one piece.
Whaduya say? Put your monkey where your mouth is and place your bets now!!
ODE TO MONGOLIA
"Well here is the plan for our continental adventure,
The journey is long and a real butt clencher"
"We'll be travelling in a car that is ultimately crap,
Lucy in the driving seat and Sheryl on my lap.
We'll mission our way through distant lands,
Across mountains, past bandits, over shifting sands"
"To a place called Mongolia where we'll celebrate like kings,
Eating sheeps eyeballs and other strange things!"
And on top of it all, our epic odyssey,
We'll be raising tons of money for charity"
"Oh really!" said Lucy "That sounds just great.
I'm sure our family and friends would want to donate!"
"Yes, you know, I think you are right,
In fact, they can donate right here, on this website."
"After working out how likely we are to arrive,
They can place their bets on us making it alive"
"That sounds a bit dark! I'm sure we'll survive,
We are Soyombo Racers, we're born to drive
So don't you worry, we'll come to no harm,
We'll make it with the strength of old Genghis Khan!"

The world is just a little bit too safe. Gone are the days when the edge of the map called you forth to discover what lay beyond - satellite maps and GPS have it laid out before you leave the armchair. What if you want th...

Unterstützung für mein Lieblings-Glockenende und ihre tapferen Mitstreiterinnen auf der Suche nach dem Glück und ewiger Erfüllung ihrer Sehnsüchte. Auf dass sich die Mongolische Sonne über euren Häuptern erhebt und euch auf ihren wärmende Strahlen ans Ziel gleiten lässt und 100 jungfräuliche Schönheiten euch den roten Teppich der Gastfreundschaft bis nach Birmingham rollen. Gutt Lack.

Thanks to the Wrens pub in Leeds, a classic boozer! They hosted our pub quiz and prepared food for the night in which staff at my old work - Groundwork Leeds, came along and opened their minds and their wallets for our campaign!
