    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
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Strength and aerobic fitness is easy.

    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
