Welcome to Carlyledesertracing.com .
Paul Carlyle set up Carlyledesertracing.com to allow his attempt on the Dakar 2010 to be followed by other amateur riders, supporters and anyone interested in desert racing. On his first attempt, Paul finished the Dakar in 72nd place as the second Scot ever to finish and (due to bad luck suffered by others) as first British rider in the Dakar 2010.
While Paul is not yet finished with the Dakar and desert rallies in general, he is currently working on developing a programme to allow other Scottish riders (and riders from anywhere) to participate in desert races. We have great riders in Scotland but we are a long way from the desert. Carlyle Desert Racing aims to make use of the knowledge hard won by Paul to help reduce that distance.
