Well, what I thought was a bit of insider knowledge turned out to be more publicised than any CIA/Wikileaks saga.

I assumed that when John Hudson invited me along to a little behind-the scenes adventure, I’d have to come in disguise and sign a secrecy pledge. How wrong can one be?

What I’m talking about of course is the pre-ride for the now well-publicised ADVX ride next year. It’s to be just a little jaunt directly across this magnificent nation of ours – 7500km or so taking in three deserts, the infamous Gunbarrel Highway, Uluru, and a look in at the Finke Desert race on the way.

The only certainty about pre-rides is that unknowns will crop up.
