Sigh...It's a must do event Pizazz,
there's a whole lot of nothing and a whole lot of everything to see out there.
It was one of the very first mountain bike races I read about back in the early 90's, and am very glad I did it.

If you have your family or friends with a 4wd that you wish to owe favours to for the rest of your life. Use them.Might be a silly question but here goes
Do the riders have to have their own support team for this event? Or can you get them supplied or something similar?
Thanks in advance
Ok cool thanks for the helpIf you have your family or friends with a 4wd that you wish to owe favours to for the rest of your life. Use them.
(I had my wife as support "team" three times - I owe her for ever)
The other option... is to talk to the Race committee. They can try to hook you up with a friendly 4wd club or individual that is keen for a Simpson Desert trip.
The general rule of thumb is that you cover the fuel and food costs and they look after you during the event. But that is best negotiated with the crew in question.
If you want to know more... email the "rider contact"... one Murray "Muz" Rook (last years joint winner) on riders@desertchallenge.org

Elvis I am still buying my wife shiny things for her solo support of me in 2011. Perhaps going into credit for next year?If you have your family or friends with a 4wd that you wish to owe favours to for the rest of your life. Use them.

Good on you Ben. Riding has to be better than being a medic and fronting up to the 5:30am rider's bum clinic.Well it was another awesome year in the desert. A lot cooler, and much faster for the riders.
I got a little enthusiastic at the auction afterwards and will soon be the proud owner of a beaut Muru - thanks Wayne and Kyria for donating it for the charity auction! I guess I really am committed to riding next year. My GF is also picking a Muru and we'll be riding together. Need to start training hard,
I'm in for 2014, been scouring the last few years pics for some ideas... a few's bike running Black Floyd slicks.2014? Once more with feeling?
