2023, that’s a wrap

I guess this is my end of 2023 reckoning, but what can top my 2022 Australia crossing? I guess that is my excuse for not posting anything to the blog for so long. (I still have a ton of video to post. I only have the WA videos up and there is lots left to […]

Revitalized

The two days prior to this ride were tough for me, physically and mentally. Norseman to Balladonia pushed more of my limits. We adjusted what was to be a very long one day ride into 2 days with a break in-between, camping out with no amenities in any direction for more than 80 kilometers or […]

Last Ride Week and then some 9.6 to 9.9

(Actual week 6 and Monday of week 7) Yackandanduh to Wagga Wagga, Tuesday, 9.6.22, 163 kilometers The last two days in Yackandanduh were a well needed break as I have mentioned in my previous posts. Now, back to serious ride distances again. 163 kilometers is just over 100 miles, generally considered a significant milestone ride […]

Week 6 plus update 8.31 to 9.5

Ararat to Castlemaine, Wednesday, 8.31.22, 140 kilometers There is so much packed into each day on this adventure, recalling what happened even a few days ago seems impossible. There are days like this one where I have very little memory of where we were and what was outstanding. What I do remember is another wonderful […]

Allen’s Great Adventure (A.G.A.)

Allen, one of my team mates came up with a great challenge. I’m not sure how long he has been thinking about this but it sounded like great fun, a real challenge. Early spring, May in MN, approx. 150 mile bike ride in one day, Mpls MN to Duluth MN. How hard could it be? […]

Teaser for August 2022 for me, more to come

Plans are in the making. Airline tickets are purchased. Tourist Visa application is done waiting approval. (Maybe should have gotten that before buying plane tickets eh?) The new TI gravel bike is built and tested, a few times. Fit and finish seem good. Lighter bike for travel and just because I don’t want to ride […]

What should we do with 2022?

It’s only the 4th of January so we have some time to change that resolution that wasn’t going to hold anyhow into an idea to make 2022 something to be proud of? Well at least something to be better than 2021. Stop thinking about what was and start figuring out what will be. There are […]

It’s been a while

Last winter and early spring were down times for a lot of obvious reasons. It seemed easier for me to spend time on this blog then even though the posts I was writing were less than pleasant. The world in general and my local area in particular were and are going through significant political and […]
