10 Deserts Solo Cycle Epic

Details -
Distance: 1107km inc. out and back to Wolfe Ck crater
Conditions: Hard-packed and corrugated dirt road, deep bull-dust in stretches.
Difficulty: 3/5
Est'd Time: 7 days

Three sources used extensively in planning for this adventure include Exploroz and Bureau of Meteorology websites, and Australia's Great Desert Tracks Atlas & Guide by Ian Glover & Len Zell.

My first leg streches from Alice Springs in N.T. to Halls Creek in W.A. via the Tanami track. The Tanami track is not so much a track any more, but are fairly well driven and irregularly serviced dirt road.

The Tanami track serves as a great start point for this epic. Challenges are limited to corrugations and deep bulldust, and for me on bike, mining trucks and distances approaching 300km without water. Wolfe Ck meteorite will be a welcome stop-off point. I'll also seek permission from a local land-holder to traverse land following Sturt Ck towards Duncan Rd and onto the township of Halls Ck. If I'm granted this access, it saves me covering the same ground between Wolfe Ck and Halls Ck twice. This relatively easy first leg (hope I'm not jinxing myself here) enables my body to ease into the load-carrying mode.

I can't believe I've still never watched this horror movie. Maybe I should just before I go
