Happy 2 year Jo. I'm sure you will have further adventures to sit alongside it. You could start at another coast somewhere and pedal, see where it takes you. The joy of what you did was the lack of plan after IPWR. Unplanned trips are very different to ones that are mapped out within an inch of their life. Both can be good. Anyway you remind me of another ultra rider: Sofiane. You both have the ability to keep pedalling forever it seems!

I'm not as fast as him, or can sleep as little as him though! But yes, that's why I think it will be hard to 'top' this ride, just down to how spur of the moment it was, there was just this gravity and momentum behind it. I have some other ideas, maybe even a theme that I can carry over and do in different countries.
Norway would be interesting, would need to time it right though to not freeze! Maybe it's a warm winter...

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...
