24.01.2022 DAY 1: DERBY - IMINTJI COMMUNITY (228 KM) Today would have been a tortuous day in the saddle with easterly winds gusting to 30 kph........a silver lining to the... postponement of this year's event if ever there was one! Day 1 is always a yodel-fest. Tough for the teams, tough too for the Dualists but the Soloists suffer more than any Gibbster. Just when you finally get out of the relentless headwinds - it's time to start climbing! Ouch. The dusty peloton first stumbled across the warm hospitality of Imintji several years ago, when a monster wet season kept us out of Silent Grove (Bell Gorge) campsite. We sought refuge on their forecourt, along fence lines and access tracks. Anywhere to pitch a tent, roll a swag or stow the trailers. Iminjti have now developed an incredible large scale campground more than suited to swallowing our rolling circus. The grounds not only provide an alternative income stream for the community, but will create vocational training and employment opportunities for generations to come. Here's some pics from last year's Hot, Dry and Windy edition of The Gibb Challenge to stave your GWS - Gibb Withdrawal Syndrome. #worththewait

19.01.2022 If anyone is keen for a solo with a few absolute champions, we will ride as a peloton and help each other out, get in touch, may have an opportunity for you.

18.01.2022 It is with a heavy (heavy) heart that I have decided to postpone the 2020 edition of The Gibb Challenge. Please accept my profound apologies for the disappointm...ent and inconvenience this decision imposes upon you and your team. The decision was not made lightly and included earnest discussions with the many valued stakeholders that make this annual event possible. 2020 was shaping up to be another incredible life defining Kimberley adventure and I share your disappointment that the event could not proceed as planned. Ultimately the rapidly escalating threat posed by Coronavirus COVID-19 offered no alternative but to take this decision. The health of our event participants, our valued venue hosts and the communities connected to the Gibb River Road remained a primary consideration, so while I never wanted to make this decision..it really was a no brainer.

12.01.2022 G'day potential Gibbsters, If you're keen to join the fat tyre celebrations of The Gibb Challenge but you weren't able to convince your scaley mates to nominate a team this year..........maybe you could find a team that's looking to bolster their riding register. Post a little about yourself, your riding interests and see whether you're The Perfect Match for a team. No creepy lycra selfies.......

12.01.2022 Weekend's looking a cracker with 33 degrees forecast so why not get to Cottesloe for the first ever Fat Bike Cruise. 11 kilometres of thigh burning goodness to Brighton Beach Reserve........mad if you don't.

09.01.2022 DAY 2: IMINTJI - MOUNT ELIZABETH STATION (116 KM) This ought to have been our first morning roused from swags by the thumping roar of the gennies. At a sparrow'...s fart, the Bloody Heroic Volunteers (BHV) prepare breakfast, serve lunches, break camp and get us organised into the four group starts; SOLOISTS/DUALISTS; THE QUICK TEAMS; THE SLOW TEAMS and THE ALMOST FAST TEAMS........it ain't as complicated as I've made it appear. A great night's sleep under a million stars. A spectacular sunrise with the King Leopold Ranges as a backdrop. Mate, let's get this adventure going...........and then your arse touches the saddle..........WTF?! Did some jovial trickster replace your bike seat with an echidna dipped in napalm? It's another stellar day through God's Country with Mount Elizabeth Station at the finish line. We were due to meet new camp manager Lorraine this year, but that introduction will just have to wait until next year. If you're a Kimberley Gibbster keen to get some me-time on The Gibb - Mount Elizabeth Station is OPEN. #worththewait

07.01.2022 Looking for Driver/support for Gibb Challenge. Need a lot of patience to drive at 10kph for 660km. I am able to supply vehicle as well. Let me know if interested.

06.01.2022 DAY 4: ELLENBRAE STATION - HOME VALLEY STATION (106 KM) G' day Gibbsters; past, present and potential. Welcome to your daily dose of a virtual Gibb tour to alle...viate your GWS - Gibb Withdrawal Syndrome. This stage is my absolute favourite of all the daily stages. It's a pearler from the first pedal stroke, crossing the Durack River, smashing Rollie's Jump Up and screaming down Gregory's before another dunking in Bindoola Creek..........then the kicker, a 200 foot climb to the Lookout and those sensational panoramic views of the Cockburn Ranges. Shut up - just look at that. #worththewait When you've soaked in the views for all they're worth, point the tredlie downhill for a thrilling 2 kilometre gravity assisted romp to The Promised Lands - Home Valley Station. At HV8 we're greeted with a resort pool, fully licensed bar, luxurious grass campgrounds, laundry facilities, more hot showers than you can point a dusty cyclist at.........and flushing dunnies - not a thunder box to be seen! This is party night on The Gibb Challenge - overindulge with good food, warm hospitality, great company and a maybe a couple too many brewskies. Tomorrow's a lazy 50 kilometre stage, so maybe we can stay up a little late and join the Tractor Party?

02.01.2022 G' day 2018 Gibbsters. If you're looking to join an established team or you're a team looking to bolster your riding roster with a fresh pair of legs - this is where you need to be. I'm a social media numpty so don't expect too much in terms of administrator support or vetting for that matter. ... Good luck. We've had some great successes creating teams from scratch........we've probably had a few bust ups too. Life's like that.
