People are like a bicycle – We have gears we don’t use – but I intend to utilise every single one of them on this trip.

Don’t get me wrong, i’d be lying if i wasn’t scared of things like being in the elements for a year or being robbed, finding a campsite EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, cooking terrible meals in the rain, endless hills, being stranded in the middle of nowhere, possible injuries, getting lost all the time … BUT….I’ll use all of these gears I have and i know i’ll learn some new ones too and that’s what’s giving me courage to entertain this epic adventure. The new gears i’ll learn will be way more exciting and memorable and I can’t wait to push myself and see what i’m made of. I don’t want to be in my hospital bed thinking ‘I’m glad I finished that project’ or ‘I wish i followed my dreams’ – this is it – i’m doing it and it feels AMAZING to finally follow what i’ve been thinking about for so long

Hi there my name is Adrian. Thanks for joining me! What am I actually doing I here you say…….You are going to be joining me for a year as I ride around this big ol red country (all the way around) with a few additions such as oh I don’t know…….a 30 day adventure race in New Zealand (Tour Aotearoa), Tasmania, 1000km mountain bike trek from Perth to Albany – I can go on. All up it will be approximately 20,000km’s of adventures. All of this will be unsupported and using my own horsepower carrying some panniers on my beast aka ‘Thor’ all whilst fumbling my way through this beautiful country and I hope you can join me. You are going to see some amazing things, go through my highs and lows with me, tears, joy and a LOT of wrong turns but mostly you’re going to get to know this country a bit more as well as myself. This has been a 10 year dream and a 2 year plan all coming to fruition 1 December 2019 – I hope you enjoy reading my blog and please contact me anytime if you would like to touch base at all.
