Blimey - how have I missed this thread?

Amazing trip, I look forward to sitting down and reading it start-to-finish.

I am in awe, I feel a sense of acheivement when I manage my 40km round-trip commute 3 days in a row. Now I know I'm just playing.

Good luck for the rest of the trip

This week I've been mainly staying at Raffles Hotel, drinking Singapore Slings and having afternoon tea with the British High Commissioner. Yes it's been a tough week.

[Rob_T]

you do probably deserve a little bit of luxury!

what are you doing with the commissioner? is he trying to get you out of a tricky smuggling situation?

Just getting my ride a bit of publicity in Singapore. Oh, and a nice bit of cake & some scones!

Tell him to get his hands out of his bloody pockets!

Just found this and it looks like an epic trip!

Would love to do something like this one day, if only I could get time off work, get fit, grow some balls, somehow aquire £50k and learn how to fix bikes....

Sorry about the lack of updates since August but I've had very little access to wifi and have been saving my mobile data for other stuff.

The good news is that I've now reached Sydney, 27,875km since the start of the trip.



I'll try and get some more photos up once I get wifi which may not be until New Zealand which I'm flying to towards the end of next week. What I can say though is that Australia is awesome, if a little big!

I have a relative in Sydney who is physio if thats any good to you??!!

One of the best threads on PH.

Good to see an update.

[neilski]

Thanks but I'm feeling pretty fit & healthy at the moment.

I don't frequent the cycling parts of PH but have just stumbled on this thread. Amazing stuff mate, well done.

Are you going straight off to NZ or doing a bit round Australia first?

I've just ridden here from Perth, it took about 4 months.

[durbster]

Ah that makes more sense. Just reading the blog now

I've done that journey in a car and even that took a week!

[Minemapper]

Just read the first post of this thread again. Really highlights how far you've gone. Safe travels in NZ!
