Hmm. Saw that. There's just so much to choose from: Safari, Desert Challenge, Dos Sertoes and now this. Can't really justify more than one a year and still working on strength and technique before the next one.
Wait and see!

.........including crossing the Simpson.

Despite their frequent mention of inexperienced riders, it's not for beginners

Strength and aerobic fitness is easy.
Just push your bike up that hill out of the Gun Club valley a couple of times :D :sick:

Let me know if any of you guys are thinking of coming over for this as I am based in Melbourne and would be keen to do this next year also. I can probably assist with logistics here in Melb and would be good to have some Kiwi company on the ride. I also know what snakes you can eat when you run out of baked beans in the middle of the Simpson......Jez

$200 a day budget to pay for fuel, accommodation where possible and food and drinks Total $2800 ( cash should be carried).

Jesus,that's a steep estimate isn't it?

I might be up for this next year.I'm just about to send my CV over to my mum who is in Nagambie,so hopefully she can find me a job soon.
I've been eyeing up bike prices over there already ;)
