Yesterday in 2018, I rolled into Perth after solo circumnavigating Australia on a fixed gear bike. It was the wildest experience of my life. The craziest thing was that I didn't even intend to do a loop when I first started riding. I was racing in the Indian Pacific Wheel Race - a 5,500km sprint from Perth to Sydney. However, I just felt so inspired, free and had so much momentum behind me that I just kept rolling.
I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to top this. Yeah, maybe I could do an adventure which is even longer but I don't think it would have the same impact that this did. It was just such a unique mission and my first truly big escapade. Although I do have some ideas floating around my head...
