Here we go again, really!?

 Wylie Adventures returns for a fourth tilt at the Finke crown. Or at the least a 4th finish of the great race in the desert.

The team's lead (and only) racer Roy Chamberlain at 62 seeks to be the oldest rider in the pack to finish.

After racing the orange devil in 2019 the team has returned to its historical blue roots with a new bike and a new race number, #895. Watch this number!

Race numbers on!
Now the race numbers are on the bike its all getting very real. Accommodation for the trip to Alice is booked and the fitness program has begun.

Team manager, and Roy's wife, Fiona is cracking the whip on the fitness program and withholding cookies from coffee breaks. Other team members will include cousin Linda (and expert masseur during race break), now a veteran of the last two race challenges, and cousin Joan with partner Andrew, newbies on the team. Open heart surgery has got in the way of veteran team members Ian and Rhonda joining this challenge.

I'm sure we are all looking forward to loading up the Aussie Centre's  red dust into every nook and cranny in absolutely everything!

It seemed a good idea to not have to rustle up breakfast while packing, but actually we have a long day's drive and now we have to wait til breakfast starts up! Eating bush breakfast on individual 'tables' Anyway, turned out the Bush Breakfast was a great way to wind up the stay and the holiday. It was a short walk from the main restaurant area, down among the Currawongs and kookaburras. Back on the road, leaving Undara.  What we saw: A couple of circling black kites to say farewell. There were plenty of cattle by the road on the way out and on the road too. Most abundant birds and easily identifiable are the magpies and some galahs. Numerous dead cows and occasional pigs on the road. Flock of about 30 black cockatoos f...
