Some pics of what has to be one of the most memorable events of my life. Not only was the Simpson Desert Bike Challenge an amazing adventure in one of the most ruggedly beautiful places on the planet, the journey there and back turned out to be quite a challenge in itself. Thanks to the kindness of my supporters I managed to raise over $1200.00, with $26000.00 in total this year being raised by all riders and support crew. If you are looking for the challenge of your life, get a bike, a support crew and start training now! Entries for 2018 open March 1st.
