Six day outback ride begins on the Finke Desert Race track︱Cross Training Adventure

http://crosstrainingenduro.com A week of outback motorbike riding! I have been in Australia for six decades but I've never visited the outback. The solution? A one week dirt ride in the centre of Australia, visiting all the iconic landmarks. Ayers Rock. The Olgas. Kings Canyon. Chambers Pillar. And the incredible Finke Gorge. And we get to ride the Finke Desert Race track! It's the Rock Six Day Tour courtesy of Outback Motorcycle Adventures. Day one. We start at Alice Springs in the red centre of Australia. There is a bit of highway before we hit the dirt. The plan? We will ride some of the infamous Finke Desert Race track. Lunch will be at the well known landmark, Chambers Pillar. We ride through desert oak country to finish with a ride along the Finke River, the world's oldest known river. It's The Rock Six Day Tour courtesy of Outback Motorcycle Adventures. The guys only run these tours for six months of the year to avoid the deadly heat of the outback summer. It's currently winter so great temperatures for riding. It can get chilly at night but the guys provide us with warm swags, hot food and camp fires every night. Keen on an outback adventure? Try some outback adventure riding in central Australia. Woohoo! The Finke Desert Race track. This is the fastest desert race in the southern hemisphere. The pro riders can reach 190kmh on some sections. Keen on adventure riding Australia? Try some outback motorbike riding with these guys. And in 2022 David Walsh averaged about 130kmh on his record-breaking win. Jeff and I slow down as we reminded ourselves that injuries often happen on the first morning of tours like this. And sure enough, we had two riders taken to hospital by lunch time. The soft sand is great practice as there will be plenty of soft sand sections over the next week! All the motorbikes came with steering stabilisers. These make a big difference for sand riding. I can see why most desert riders use them. We watch for the danger signs. Red circles or squares. Even at our low speeds, it is good to know when there's a tricky section ahead. It's hard to imagine the fastest riders doing 180kmh then hitting the brakes hard for these sections. The corner markers are similar. The curves are so gradual the signs seem redundant at our slow speed. There are plenty of crests which can be tricky. If you slow down too much the front wheel digs into the soft sand and you can lose your steering. One of our guys demonstrates the technique. If you are interested in riding the entire track, the guys at Outback Motorcycle Adventures have a two day tour of the Finke Race track. Or if you are crazy enough to enter the race, they have support and hire packages. And it's back to easy dirt roads for these outback motorcycle adventures. The outback is big. Seriously big. Riders told me about the endless vistas and it's hard to comprehend until you are actually here. At the end of the first night Jeff said to me he felt so insignificant. We are simply tiny dots on this massive landscape. It definitely puts everything into perspective. There is the sense of timelessness too. The outback features some of the oldest flattest landscapes in the world due to very little movement of tectonic plates. So we are riding in landscapes that can be up to 500 million years old. And Indigenous Australians have lived here for around 50,000 years. Unfortunately Simon wasn't wearing any knee guards. It was a simple crash in first gear but it fractured his tibia. He ended up in hospital and was scheduled for surgery. It's a good reminder to always wear knee guards at an absolute minimum. And many of us have spend more money on knee braces for extra protection. Another rider, Mark, crashed in soft sand and had multiple rib fractures so he was off to hospital as well. I have been on a few tours where riders are injured on the first day. So Jeff, Coxy and I keep reminding ourselves to go slow. We can always increase the speed toward the end of the trip. And at least do most of the tour before we hurt ourselves. Some big rock formations on the horizon. Our lunch destination draws near!The Aboriginal legend says that the pillar is the Gecko ancestor Itirkawara, who was exiled for taking a wife from the wrong skin group.
