Romaniacs Bike Transport - Enduro or Adventure!

Ever wanted to experience the atmosphere of one of the world's most largest and well known hard enduro events, but without taking part? Or getting to spectate at hillclimbs as the legendary Gold riders complete the impossible? For this year we've decided to offer a bike transport only option for those not competing in the event, but wanting to head to Sibiu all the same!

This is open to both riders of enduro bikes, wanting to sample the famous extreme terrain in the Carpathian Mountains, and also to adventure bike riders, perhaps wanting to take in some of the TET/ACT routes in the area. We take care of all the transport and logistics, and will even take your kit bag. Simply fly into Sibiu and meet your bike there, your bike will be available for 8 days before we take care of the return transport of it back to the UK.

Spaces are extremely limited, so if you're interested, don't hesitate to get in touch!

The Greece Rally - 21st to 27th September

For 2025, the Greece Rally is returning to the place where it all began, the town of Serres! Being based out of Serres in the north of Greece promises some of the very best riding that Greece has to offer, great single track, fast flowing stages and a marathon stage into Bulgaria!

The Greece Rally is run by the same organisation as the Olympia Rally, so expect a well run event, with a friendly bivouac atmosphere, but professional and well equipped where it counts.

We've already got quite a team signed up for the event, if you're keen to join us, we do still have a few places available for our assistance options!

Feel free to get in touch:

Olympia Rally 2025 - Until next year!

We had seventeen riders start this years edition of the Olympia Rally, and after six days of incredible riding and racing through the Greek countryside, fifteen of them managed to cross the finish line! Out of those numbers, for several riders it was their very first rally-raid event, so an extra achievement for them all to finish after taking their first step into the world of international competition! A big congratulations to all that took part, both our rookies and to our experienced riders, it was a great team atmosphere all week, it was a pleasure to look after you all. Lastly, big thank you to my team, made up of the brilliant Richie Lee and Derek Carr. Enjoy some photos of the last day on event!

Thinking about making the jump to international events yourself? The Olympia Rally (and its sister event 'Greece Rally' in September) are possibly the best event to start.... Fantastic riding, a great organisation and some great racing regardless of your level. Interested in finding out more? Drop us a message!

Olympia Rally 2025 - The first few days!

Here we are, back in the town of Ancient Olympia, just a stones throw from the birth place of the Olympics, for one of our favourite events of the season! This year Desert Rose Racing have taken care of the transport, logistic and are supporting seventeen riders, looked after by Joe, Del and Richie. The first few days consisted of registration and scrutineering, which all went smoothly, along with plenty of last minute adjustments and bike setup changes. Yesterday, all riders made it through the 40km 'Labyrinth' prologue, followed by the starting ceremony in the middle of town! Today is the first real stage of the event, 230km of mixed terrain through the local area, including plenty of elevation changes, and some tricky navigation... Here's some photos from the last few days!
