• It’s What We Do

The long weekend in June is a big one for the Northern Territory town of Alice Springs. It’s the running of the Finke Desert Race, and last issue we saw ADVX regroup and take in the race. But riders from all over Australia converge on ‘The Alice’ for the big event. Here’s a couple of groups who filtered their way through the ADVX show while running off their own rides that same weekend.

A group of mates made their way to Finke and then coincidentally followed the ADVX route for a good part of the way back to the nation’s east coast. These guys probably had more laughs and fun per kilometre than the bigger show. Adventure Rider Magazine regular Ken Dark was one of the crew and tells the story.
