Thirteen fans of the classic Mobylette 49 cc moped from Arroyo de la Miel, Málaga, yesterday completed a challenge they had set themselves of riding their machines from Málaga to the Sahara. They have successfully covered 1,800km and have ridden through snow, rain, cold and wind in their ten day there and back trip to the village of Merzouga some 20 kms into the dunes of the Sahara.

They also took some extra clothes which they gave to some of the children living in the Atlas mountains.

The thirteen Mobylette lovers travelled at between 35 and 40 kms per hour and were welcomed back home in Arroyo de la Miel by friends and family last night.
