The Paddy Dakar, now in its eight year, is an Orienteering on Motorbikes charity event that takes place in and around Slieve Felim, Silvermines and the Galtee Mountains which straddle county's Limerick and Tipperary.
It is held as a tribute to Dakar Riders past and present who by their participation have demonstrated themselves to be the pinnacle of Off-Road endurance riding.
The Paddy Dakar is a weekend event and 2017 will be the eight time the event has been run. The course is aimed at people who ride adventure bikes and who may not have been in any kind of competition in the past, or have any Off-Road experience.
In short its going to be orienteering on motorbikes but on Off-Road conditions with Road Rubber.
Ireland has had 4 riders finish the Paris Dakar, it's the most dangerous off road rally with 48 deaths since its inception in 1978.
