Role as a crew member during the Ténéré Travel Trophy
During the Ténéré Travel Trophy 2025, the crew plays a crucial role. As a crew member, I don't have the opportunity to ride the motorcycle myself; I travel with a fixed bus (one of two) that transports the participants' luggage. In addition to the luggage buses, there is also a bus filled with event materials, such as tents, signs, flags, and electronics.
Early Birds and preparation for Stage 2
Early risers among the participants had already delivered their luggage by 6:30 a.m., ready for the start of Stage 2. That day, our crew traveled approximately 230 kilometers directly to the next location. During this ride, I had a participant with me in the car who had fallen ill that night. He was allowed to travel that day to rest and recover, which was arranged so he could comfortably nap on the co-driver’s seat.
Breathtaking view at the Camping in Högsbyns
The view from the camping in Högsbyns was stunning, but unfortunately, we had to say goodbye and continue traveling to an even more beautiful destination: Flisa Camping. This camping site is truly top-notch, with gorgeous accommodations, excellent facilities for the participants, a cozy restaurant, and a unique view.
Relaxing and assisting at the Camping in Flisa
After setting up and checking in, the participants could enjoy a well-deserved shower and a delicious buffet. I also had a bit of work to do for my employer, as a senior, sometimes you have to work a little during the trip.
Later that evening, another task awaited us: picking up a stranded participant. He had experienced motor trouble with a seized engine. His friends had already removed the chain to help tow him, but the distance from the Norway-Sweden border to Flisa Camping was quite long. My husband and I drove with the organization bus to pick him up.
Longer ride to Bøflaten Camping and impressive scenery
Luckily, there was enough food for everyone, so after the effort, we enjoyed a good meal when we returned to the campsite. This was just before the briefing for the next day.
Stage 3 was much longer, approximately 280 kilometers straight from the previous location. I was again riding with a participant, this time someone who was experiencing motorcycle trouble.
Majestic landscapes and finish at Bøflaten Camping
The majestic mountains of Norway came into view. Norway is known for its impressive rock formations, rivers, and diverse flora and fauna — a true delight for nature lovers and motorcyclists alike.
The finish of Stage 3 was at Bøflaten Camping, a spectacular site with breathtaking views and comfortable accommodations for both participants and crew.
Adventurous routes and a cozy evening wrap-up
My husband and his buddy also had a fantastic time, with challenging routes and stunning vistas over this beautiful peninsula connecting Norway and Sweden.
The day ended with good company, delicious food, and enjoying the incredible scenery. I was fully recharged and ready for the next adventures of the Ténéré Travel Trophy 2025.

Wederom een mooie geschreven blog.
Ondanks dat je crew bent en dus zelf niet kunt motorrijden lijkt het me toch echt een mooie, indrukwekkende ervaring om mee te mogen met dit avontuur. Toch een beetje jaloers hoor 😉
Nu wachten op het volgende Blog😁
