Chris Evans rallying cry, baby By Chris Evans, photos: friends FOR THE FIRST time in 19 years it looks like I’ll be spending the festive season in Europe and not on the Dakar in Africa or South America. Obviously I’m disappointed not to be going. But at the same time, I can’t deny there’s a few aspects of the world’s most famous off-road event that I definitely won’t miss. No, that’s a lie. There’s a lot of aspects I won’t miss. And almost all of them centre round my much cherished creature comforts. For a start, I won’t miss the sleep deprivation. If you read biographies of famous people who’ve run the world (currently I’m in the middle of a brick of a book about Napoleon) you’ll know they all got by on just four hours kip. They’d simply love the Dakar. They might start to get a bit grumpy towards the end though, ‘cos the most I’ve ever managed was three, but basically they’d be right in their element. Myself, I’m not running the world, not even a medium sized multi-national, so I require a lot more shut eye. To be fully functioning I need at least seven and a half hours and if you want me to be operational and in a good mood, the minimum requirement goes up to eight and a half. You also need to bear in mind that the three hours sleep you do get are extremely poor quality. Like virtually all Dakar old hands, I had to resort to sleeping pills, as without them the sound of a thousand generators roaring away all night makes dropping off difficult, if not impossible. The trouble is that you wake up feeling like hell… [Chris Evans runs 3-day enduro bike tours in France, to contact him call 0033 662 487190 / www.s
