Great , thanks for sharing.

Great ride and report!!!


Had to laugh at this . . . ..

Brother: “No, you rode up little red, Big red is another kilometer to the left after you ride over that little hill...”
Me: “Shit - oh well, not going back now...”


Closest I got to any Red was the flooded approach - just as well, coz I'm crap with sand.

Why didn't you do it in a straight line?

..............you had Tens...

Great report fellas, One of the best I have read this year, ....Awesome.

Really good and inspiring

Great report and great pics.
Thanks for sharing!

Great effort guys, well done!

Now I know EXACTLY what I want to do.

thanks for sharing that.

Bugger I have finished reading the RR. Now I have to go outside and finish my chores.

I have ridden some of those areas and deep sand on a heavy adventure bike is no fun IMO. Mitas E09 tyres will never grace my front wheel again,. I think they are too small in radius? for sand and tend to dig in making the bike want to pitch you off. Ask me how I know this! My fractures are still healing 12 months later.

Not enough flotation for sand, OK for anything else though. They are OK on the rear end.

Thanks for posting up more awesome photos.
Love the poster your kids made, superb.

Great trip and report guys.

Would love to have your GPS tracks on Trans Australia Trails, this trip would be perfect for it. Link below.

Cheers
Peter

EDIT:

I used my spot tracker plot, I will re-do with my Garmin tracks in about a week or so, will be a little more accurate when zoomed in.

Great stuff, thanks.

Yours was Track 100, and the first full crossing of Australia if I'm not mistaken. So the site lives up to its name now.

Cheers

Great Ride report! Yep, I'm gonna do it too. Before I'm 40 you reckon? Got 6 yrs then.
