When your Dad asks you to race the Tatts Finke Desert Race on Father's Day, you can hardly say no!
 
The notorious outback race runs from Alice Springs to the small township of Finke 230km away. After an 8km prologue to sort out starting positions, racers take on the desert all the way to Finke before turning around and racing back again on day two. Brutal!
 
 Demi had moved to Adelaide for uni but her old man went out and bought a race quad, entered her into the race and flew her up. No training, no practice, no worries mate!

The conclusion to our chat with the Desert Nomad, Robert Cox.
More stories and advice from a man that is home in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dunes and termite mounds.
Roberts knowledge of the Australian outback and its roadways is like having a human GPS. 
Even if you're not into Adventure riding, this is still a great insight into what it takes to be able to survive 10 days on a bike in the desert. 

Have you ever considered crossing a desert on a motorcycle? 
Well, our guest Robert Cox has the Simpson Desert 15 times. Now that's a big deal here in Australia, so suffice to say Robert Cox is a Big Deal.
From supporting other Motorcycle Adventure companies, completing multiple day rides, to raising money for Soldier On, Roberts attitude and respect to life, mental health and the desert is truly inspiring.
