If normal ultra-cycling races weren’t enough for you, why not take it to the desert?

The 360 mile Simpson Desert Bike Challenge is reserved only for the toughest of riders. It’s five days of gruelling biking through the blistering Australian heat.

You’ll pass over 700 sand dunes, sprawling salt lakes and gibber rock plains before reaching the final destination at Birdsville, Queensland.

Just to make matters harder, there is a minimum average speed of 12kph with a sweep following behind that picks up the stragglers whether they like it or not!
