awwwwwww... thanks George.There is a wealth of information on the Simpson Desert Bike Challenge web site http://www.desertchallenge.org/ but take it easy as you digest it. There is a lot to consider.
Elvis on this thread is the guy to ask about buying a fat bike. He looked after the SDBC participants with specials and moved mountains to help me when I destroyed a couple of race tyres right before the event. He is also a wealth of information on competing in the race and upon reflection, every piece of information he passed onto me was spot on. Thanks Elvis!
to anyone thinking of taking on the Simpson Desert...
I would say find a quiet rainy weekend and start at the beginning of this thread and work your way forward. You will plenty of time and space wasting, back and forth between riders posted. (probably plenty of that from me)
But you'll also get plenty of solid sound advice from people that have actually ridden the event. (I'm a three time victim, for example) Besides... you can always skim past the pointless posts and click forward to the next page.
If you want to talk specifics... ask away. That way the info can be shared with others who may be considering the same silliness. However... if you're the shy type... you can always shoot me an email. elvis@dirtworks.com.au
Elvis.
