OUTBACK ADVENTURE RIDE - Mark & Ken's SIMPSON DESERT RAMBLE |
G'Day Guy's This is just a little web page dedicated to the "Simpson Desert Ramble" ride that Ken and myself (Mark) will be doing in September 2013.
for a couple of weeks has now turned into a little bit more! Straight off the bat after mentioning what Ken and I were planning and also getting ourselves into has seemed to of sparked a lot of interest. Firstly I would like to say that what we are doing has already been done many times before and by much better riders than... well myself not Ken, he's a bloody good rider! Now I won't bore you here with all the fancy bullshit of why we're doing it and the inspirational crap that goes along with it, but instead I'll just say... "We both love riding motorbikes, we both love getting out and away from it all and why not throw in a little challenge for ourselves for good measure!" You will see that we now have a few sponsors for the ride which was not our first intentions, but hey... who's gunna say no to a bit of help along the way!
Fundraising We Raised: $3,310 We decided to take this opportunity to help pay back a debt of thanks to the Royal Flying Doctor Service by making this ride a fundraising trip benefiting the RFDS. Check out the "About RFDS" page to see why we owe them a debt of thanks... sometimes when something works so well we all can become complacent about it. Check out the Thank You Photos for all the Awesome people who have generously donated so far. Ride Information Near the top of the page you'll see the menu with a few pages: The Route page will show you the route and also the itinerary we have set for the ride. The Riders & Bikes is a brief run down on us and the motorbikes. The Tracking / Updates will explain the Spot Tracker and also where you can get updates as we go along. The About RDFS page tells you why we have chosen to support the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Filming the Adventure Yep that's right, as usual I'll be filming the ride and hopefully bringing you guys along for the ride. Even Ken is getting geared up to help with the filming! Because of the outback locations that we'll be going through I won't be able to upload footage along the way as internet reception will be poor to non-existent. Once the trip is completed I'll create a series of videos with all the footage and then upload it to the Biker Bits Australia YouTube Channel.
