Desert Raid 2025

Описание: DESERT RAID 2025
Part1

Every couple of years, people from all over Australia travel by motorcycle or sidecar to a location set in the middle of bum phuck nowhere. They all get together and tell of their adventures around an open fire, while enjoying a refreshment or few.

Sounds like my kinda people.

This round of the Desert Raid is being held at 7mm Shack near Lake Rason in Western Australia.

My plan is to do it solo over 20 days, covering a little over 6800 km along the way, on as many of the dirt roads less travelled as possible. And perhaps one or two of the more commonly known ones.

One of life's cruel and unforeseen circumstances has prevented my departure as scheduled.

Now I have 12 days to reach the Desert Raid's due date of the 9th,
plus, there's a bike service in Perth that's already booked in for the 7th to cater for.

That's going to take an average of 680k a day for the 10 days.
Allowing for 2 days in Perth for the service.

It's been 25 years since I've tried a ride like this. I hope the old boy is up for it.

With a new schedule, I could be in Broome in 4 days, that'll help make up some time.

In this episode, I'll be giving it a go, travelling from Cairns to Kununurra.
