After two years of COVID cancelations, the Stumpjumper's Desert 100 was a go! 2022 was the 50th anniversary of this iconic race and it had a record turn out.
This was our 8th time racing in the ADV class. The course is a grind, not particularly difficult but it is relentless. The track is covered in baby head rocks, silt, sand and whoops. There is no opportunity to sit and cruise along, it give you no chance to rest. The DNF rate is 30-50%. 2022 was the dustiest event I've ever been to. The first couple miles had people cruising along in first gear until the dust cloud started to let up.

Well done Corey, very impressed with your skill level to get your T7 to the finish. That was a hard hit you and the bike took. That Camel ADV T7 is a true desert beast. 8th over place overall is very impressive considering you were racing just for the fun of it.👍👍👍

@CamelADV 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the encouragement. I was 8th in class, definitely not 8th overall! The top-tier dirtbike guys are cranking out 2 laps in about the most of us are doing one. Paul Neff was the overall winner (he's racing Dakar this year) and he got two laps done in about 5 mins longer than my one lap took.... that dude was flying.

@@CamelADV Firstly, sorry for spelling your name wrong. 8th in class is a good as 8th overall, don't sell yourself short your not a professional rider. What I watch was a very accomplished ride with excellent skills. Your riding a 200+kg bike not a dirt bike. I've been following you and Camel ADV for around two years.

The results show a Kawasaki and a Suzuki too. Officially, KLR's don't meet the cc requirement but someone could have entered one anyway. As far as the Suzuki... V-Strom perhaps.
