After the 2005 rally we realized that we'd have to make this a once very two years event in order to be able to devout the time it needs to do it properly. 2007, was the best turn out to date with over 50 entries – some of which were truly mad!

The Editor of Cycle Canada, Costa Mouzouris, is a Mad Bastard fan. In his first attempt he hardly made it out of the parking lot before his aging Motobecane broke down. Thankfully for 2007, he does most of the rally and has a great story to tell as a result.
