“What I've found over the years with adventure riders is that they all have their own individual definition of the word ADVENTURE. I enjoy riding with others and finding their limits, seeing them overcome and grow. There is nothing more awesome to watch a rider build a valuable frame of reference that they can ultimately draw on in any terrain.” Stuart Ball.
Riders who are planning on crossing the Simpson Desert – We will be focusing on sand riding technique, correct tyre pressures, bike setup and fitness.

Do you have the sheer grit and determination to conquer the GEO?
THE GEO MISSION - Be in the knowledge it has taken GAR over ten years and more than twenty other Simpson desert rides to be able to present such a ride as The Geo Centre Expedition. Trust that you are in good hands and we take this ride extremely seriously. Once we leave the French line to head north to the Geo we are completely on our own. Last year we created a formula that worked beautifully and we'll replicate that again for this years run. I can guarantee you will see the Simpson Desert in a completely different light once you have completed this ride. The scenery and pockets of untouched wildlife that you will encounter is nothing short of spectacular. It'll bend your mind in a way that you will never want to ride a designated track ever again!
