The Great Malle Cali Rally is the longest and greatest endurance road rally ever attempted across the wild and beautiful state of California. The meticulously researched and curated 2500 mile Rally route is set over 9 Rally stages, designed to take our Ralliers to truly wild places and to push boundaries with their team. You will venture to cross all of the wildest and most dramatic landscapes in the state, with the start line in Joshua Tree National Park, heading out through Death Valley and the beautiful deserts of Southern California. The Cali-Rally will take you to the highest roads of the majestic Sierra Nevada, into many of the iconic National Parks and through the real back country of old California, before experiencing some of the most unique natural landscapes in the world. This adventure will get hot, in remote locations well below sea level, to riding through the tallest forests on the planet and experiencing the most iconic coastline adventure.

Over the last 10 years our Malle Rally riders have crossed the entirety of Great Britain, the Alps Mountain Range, the Arctic Tundra and now our community will meet in California.

On our journey to the heart of Californian culture, locally inspired food plays a huge role, the Rally dinner and Rally briefing are hosted in the Rally camp each night, which are located in truly unique locations that only the Malle Rally will take you to. Chefs will be cooking up a storm in the Rally camps throughout, with hearty breakfasts and a locally sourced Rally lunch – we provide all food throughout, with the occasional whisky/wine tasting – the only thing not included is your fuel and drinks... with that said, we're always carrying spare fuel and we host a whisky toast in the Rally camp every night!

Each Rally rider/driver is given their own exclusive limited edition ‘Malle Rally Kit Pack’ and their Malle Rally Duffel with their Rally numbers on it all – so that all luggage is waiting at the Rally camp for the riders and drivers each night. We transport everything that you can fit into your Malle Rally Duffel, anything else would need to be strapped to the duffel, or carried by the guest on their motorcycle/vehicle. We can’t wait for the Rally flag to drop and for this Californian odyssey to begin!

RALLY REVIEWS

"Best week of my life on The Great Malle Rally!" - Steve

"The experience of a life time, made friends for life, rode in blazing sunshine, biblical rain, blowing gales and loved every second of it!” - Dave

"A great challenge and a great feeling of accomplishment, loved every minute of it!” - Sam

"If you ride, you need the Malle Rally in your life..” - David

"This was my first experience of taking part in an organised rally, so there was some trepidation, but much anticipation. From start to finish it was really well organised and everyone was made to feel welcome and part of the experience by all of the Malle team.” - Rick

"Every day brings something new, you don’t know the exact route or what challenges will unfold each day, but you're in it together with 100 other riders and an amazing support crew, and that's what the Rally adventure is all about!" - Autumn

“Long days, packed with adventure and fun, challenging, rewarding and unforgettable, great memories and friendships built along the way, the Malle way!” - Samuel

"What an amazing trip, can’t wait for the next Rally!” - Steven

“By the end, you’ve had a completely unique experience with people from all over the world, brought together by their love of motorcycling, it's an addictive combination!" - Brent

"The Great Malle Rally was a once in a lifetime experience. From the beautiful scenery, to the amazing friendships and the extraordinary support crew. The ride was amazing one minute and then pushed me to my limit the next... I came away from the Malle Rally having experienced so much more than I ever expected.” - Brian

"This was a fantastic experience where new friends and memories were made. Thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying experience, which I would recommend to riders looking for that extra challenge, with somebody else taking care of all of the administration, planning and the hard work that goes into every great expedition. Will definitely be looking at doing one of the other Malle Rally’s." - Richard

"I was amongst the older riding fraternity and the long days were challenging but achievable, which was demonstrated by early nights to bed after a few drinks with no problems dropping off to sleep.” - Seb

"Throughout the Rally week, I encountered some of the most challenging weather conditions I have experienced while riding. I still consider it to be one of the most enjoyable, albeit occasionally demanding weeks I have ever had on a motorcycle!” - Harry 

"The landscapes don't care if you're winning or lost, they just ask that you're paying attention. The real Rally prize was simpler: the patience of remote hills, the weight of a real challenge and a Rally team of new friends you'd follow anywhere! I was so happy to be part of the Malle Rally story, happier still that the Rally story isn't over, can't wait for the next!” - Pavel

ARRIVING AT THE START LINE

The Cali-Rally start line is deep into the serene deserts of Southern California overlooking the majestic Joshua Tree National Park.

To reach the start line, it has the same drive time from Los Angeles or Las Vegas (averaging 3-4 hours). Where the vast majority of all of the great rental companies are located, if you need to source a rental motorcycle/vehicle.

The Cali-Rally finish line is located near to Yucca Valley, which is only 20 minutes from the start line location, so if you were transporting a motorcycle/vehicle cross country, you can leave the transporter near the finish line, for when your team returns, 10 days later.

Rally Moto/auto Rentals

If you’re flying in from around the globe and require a rental motorcycle/vehicle for this adventure, we’ve made the start/finish location really easy for you to arrive into Los Angeles or Las Vegas the day before, collect your vehicle and arrive nice a relaxed at the start line (average drive time 3-4 hours from either city). There are over 20 rental operations in each city with a wide variety of motorcycles and 3-4 wheel machines to suit all budgets and tastes. So you can collect and return your rental vehicle with ease before and after the event.

We also have great partnerships with Morgan Cars, Royal Enfield, Norton and Yamaha, is there's something specific you want to ride/drive, drop us a note.

BUILDING A RALLY TEAM + ‘LONEWOLF’ RIDERS

There’s a reason motorcycle clubs are so popular, riding with a group/team of good mates is one of the best things you can ever do. Side by side, riding the entire length of California, as the sun sets over the desert, does life get any better?

Some riders enter the rally as a team, but around 80% enter as a solo ‘LoneWolf’ rider/driver and we help build the teams, based on similar machinery, interests.. and hairstyles? Many great friendships have started in the Rally teams and long may that continue.

With that said, The Great Malle Rally is a rally event where teams of 2+ riders or drivers will complete each stage starting and finishing as a team. The clock will start when all riders have crossed the start line and stops once the entire team has reached the checkpoint. Making sure no one’s ever left behind.

RALLY PRESS

“Difficult experiences are odd; we avoid them, fear them, chafe against them while they’re happening, then exalt in them upon reflection.”

Iron & Air Magazine

“The Rally is not, however, any kind of walk in the park – nor is it meant to be!”

The FT – How To Spend It

“That sort of daily mileage doesn’t sound too nuts, but once you throw the highest roads in the highest mountains in Europe into the mix, along with unpredictable weather, and it soon becomes an endurance adventure”

BIKE EXIF

“All teams are sat outside on a massive medieval banquet table; whisky is being passed around, beers and red wine flowing. Everyone is tired but continue to swap stories about the amazing roads they got to tame that day.”

Flatout magazine

“The rally pushes you to your limit, redefining what you previously thought possible on a motorbike. With that comes an enormous sense of achievement.”

Robb Report

“On arrival, I was greeted by a remarkable array of mostly ancient machinery and riders from all walks of life and all parts of the world. Traveling by motorcycle makes it so much easier to really appreciate the landscape”

Octane Magazine

“Things went wrong, bits fell off, but I wouldn’t change anything about it, that’s the adventure!”

Petroliscious

“It’s only when you get there that it’s possible to fully appreciate the technicality and beauty of the twisting tarmac you just navigated.”

Robb Report
