Colin has a problem at work which means he can’t take 6 weeks off at one stretch. So he and Alan have agreed to ride to Alice Springs and then store the bikes for 2 1/2 months until the beginning of August before tackling the Tanami. In some ways this is a better idea than heading off from Alice Springs in mid May. The weather has been unpredictable at that time of year and in 2010 on their round Australia ride, the Gibb River Road was closed at the end of May due to rain.
So we will ride Melbourne/Sydney to Alice Springs 4th May to 13th May. Stay in Alice until 18th May and then fly home on 19th May. We will return on 5th August and head off to Yuendumu and the Tanami – returning to Melbourne/Sydney by Alan’s 70th birthday on 4th September.
