This is one hell of a story. On January 1, 2001, Canadian privateer rider Lawrence Hacking, set out from the bright lights of Paris, France on the fabled Paris-Dakar race. That year the route chased through southern Europe, across the Sahara of North Africa and finally to the city of Dakar in the far west of the continent. For those who may not know much about the Paris-Dakar, or as it’s now known as just the Dakar, it’s been described as the motorcycling equivalent of climbing Mount Everest.
To Dakar and Back is the story of the dream and the challenges of competing in Paris-Dakar. Not only did Lawrence Hacking make it, but he became the first Canadian to do so. His story is fascinating; once you start this book you’ll find it hard to put down.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS
It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
