2026 Rebelle Rally #team140
Voted Team Spirit Award, 2026
No GPS, no phones. Only maps, compass, plotter and our wits.

POSTS STORIES REELS

Jenn and I are still trying to wrap our heads around being chosen for the 2026 Rebelle Rally Team Spirit Award! We were completely blindsided and incredibly humbled to be recognized among so many amazing women and Rebelle staff who embody the true spirit of the Rebelle.

But what makes this honor even more special is that it came with an opportunity to support a cause close to our hearts. 🥹💜

A huge thank-you to the Rebelle Rally, @scrubbladewipers , and a very generous Rebelle Angel for helping make something amazing happen for a local Long Beach nonprofit, DSF Werks.

Read first comment below to find out why this award means so much to us! 🫧✨

This photo was taken at the finish of our very first Rebelle Rally in 2024 — tired, dusty, proud, and forever changed.

A year apart reminded us how rare this partnership is.
Different paths, same respect, same trust.

Grateful to be coming back together for 2026, stronger and wiser than before. 🤍

If you feel called to support our journey back to the Rebelle Rally in 2026, contributions toward our entry fee, fuel, and essential equipment would mean more than we can express. Every bit of support truly helps carry us farther. 🤍

One of the best ways to support us is through Rebelle Rally Gift Certificates, available at:

@cabetoyota and @cabe_adventures have been part of just about every mile of Hank’s journey. We truly wouldn’t have experienced so many incredible adventures or accomplished what we have without their support.

A BIG thank-you to everyone at Cabe for being in our corner and along for the ride! 💙🧡💛 by @longbeachracehers

When every team mentions the bubbles, you know you’ve made an impression. 🫧 🫧

But for Team 140 @longbeachracehers, Natalie McPherson and Jenn Lee, it was about much more than that.

Voted on by fellow competitors and staff, the Team Spirit Award recognizes the team that demonstrates selflessness, encouragement, and camaraderie throughout the competition, proving that competitive drive and supporting others can go hand in hand.

And there was no question about these two.

Known for their infectious joy, willingness to lend a hand, and yes, the bubbles they’ve brought to the rally since their very first Rebelle, Natalie and Jenn made an impression on just about everyone. Both three-time Rebelles, this was their second Rebelle together.

The award, co-presented by longtime Rebelle partner and competitor favorite @scrubbladewipers, includes a $5,000 donation to the team’s non-profit of choice. This year, an anonymous donor matched that amount, bringing the total to a record $10,000 donation in Team 140’s name to @dsfwerks, a Long Beach nonprofit empowering underserved young adults through hands-on automotive training, media arts, and mentorship.

Congratulations, Natalie and Jenn! Well deserved!🥂

Day 8 of an 8 day competition, the longest off-road rally in the United States no less- and we had to keep the vibes high out on course with @longbeachracehers

Preparing to compete in up to 40+ mph winds on the last day of an 8 day competition was actually terrifying.

Every day was grueling up until now, already, but we took it check point to check point.

Also insanely proud that we could compete fiercely, put everything we had on the table- AND STILL have time for bubbles, joy, and whimsy 🤘🏻🤩🫧 by @longbeachracehers

We might need to get a little group together of friends and go run it in the summer next year! by @longbeachracehers

Day 8 | Finish Line & Rebellation

From feral with bubbles to sequined, fancy mermaids… what a way to finish. Busturr, this was our year. We came back for redemption, and we crushed it so fucking hard that we made it our own. This rally was about so much more than proving something to ourselves. It was about growth, trust, and remembering exactly what we’re capable of when we refuse to give up.

I loved sitting Navi next to you, from the moments I was yelling “WHYYYYY?!” at whatever chaos the day had thrown our way, to the victories that made it worth it, you were the person I wanted beside me through it all. Thank you for taking care of me during my cough “hairball” dust attacks, to taking care of Hank. You wrenched being the badass you are to make sure this team kept moving forward. We were lucky enough to witness some of the most breathtaking landscapes the West has to offer, push through some absolutely wild weather, and collect the kind of memories that will stay with us long after the dust settles. And through every high, low, wrong turns, there was nowhere else I would have rather been and no one else I would have rather shared these memories with. We made memories we’ll laugh about, and reminded ourselves that we are capable of so much more because we work well as a team.

Here’s to us and to you, Busturr. We did that. And we did it our LBRH way. 💙🧡💛 by @longbeachracehers

Day 8: the final push.

As days 6 and 7 wrapped up in brutal Johnson Valley, Jenn and Natalie did a great job navigating the difficult terrain, collecting points and keeping Hank out of the medical bay. Relieved from the rocks, they changed their mindset to a new terrain: dunes.

Day 7 began with a full tank of gas and the compass pointed south to leave JV and get into the sand. Of course it wouldn’t be a Rebelle Rally if Mother Nature didn’t decide to throw a huge curveball; blinding blistering winds. As today, the final day begins, low visibility and changing dunes creak a new challenge but so far these two have shown their training, experience and resilience to buckle.

The last few hours are here. These two are going to push to the end! by @longbeachracehers

Day 5.

The teams came into Amboy last night, relieved to get out of the rain and get some shut eye. As they packed up their tents, they most likely enjoyed the historic and good vibes of Route 66 being the 100th anniversary, taking in the views and hopefully snapping some (analog) photos with the historic sign.

But as the sun rises, the feeling of leaving the mud and misty trees soon shifts to the daunting feeling of where they are headed next: Johnson Valley. There is a reason why this area hosts King of the Hammers, King of Moto’s and National level dirt bike Hare and Hound races. Speaking from experience, this terrain will chew you up and humble you before you know what happened.

Luckily the ladies have done time out in this desert practicing but since this is “open area” cross country terrain, any wrong turn can lead you astray. With sharp rocks littering the course, hidden washouts two feet deep and every hill looking the same under the harsh sun, the ladies have kept calm, maintaining cool and keeping Hank intact to get home to base camp for the night.

Thank you to the sponsors that have helped make this happen!

UNDER THE WEATHER ⛈️

While today’s route brings an easier challenge without any strategic curveballs, teams will have to watch for stormy weather and wet roads out of Caliente all the way down Route 66.
