Simpson Desert Rat Motorcycle Tour
12 Day
     
Description   This ride is for sand rats, with a full 12 days of sand riding. This is one the roughest, toughest, grittiest tours we offer. This ride is full of sand dunes, gravel roads, snotty tracks, desert crossings and rugged outback towns! After leaving Alice springs we tackle the Madigan Line and the thousand odd sand dunes before arriving at the Birdsville Pub where cold beer and tall stories will both be flowing. The next day we tackle Big Red then head west over the French line and another 1200 dunes. This time we tackle the steeper east side of the dunes and find out who can still cut the mustard in the desert. 3 days later a swim at Dalhousie Hot springs soothes those tired and battered bodies before a short ride along the Road of Stones and into the Mount Dare Pub. Leaving Mount Dare for the last days ride back into Alice Springs.

This ain't any luxury tour. But if you have a sense of adventure, and want bragging rights to last a lifetime, maybe you should clear your calendar. Discover Birdsville, one of the greatest outback pubs in Australia! Cross the North and South Simpson Desert. Enjoy the biggest night sky on earth. Ride for days on end without seeing another vehicle. Ride to the top of 'Big Red' the biggest sand dune in Australia. Ride to the most remote parts on Earth!

These roads are some of the roughest and most remote in the world. Riders should be physically fit, mentally strong and able to cope with adversity. Do not expect the red carpet to be rolled out in the Simpson Desert! but do expect a very comfortable camp and great food.
