Is he taking a short cut? I think Australia's coastline is more like 30,000km and the road follows, roughly. -- Alan Erskine We can get people to the Moon in five years, not the fifteen GWB proposes.

yep he does...i was just reading about it the other day.... http://australia.bikestories.com/Ri...n%20Canvas1.htm out of the 57 days, seems he had 4 off for bike repairs and 1 for illness. the 41 day ride was assisted (like that makes it less of an achivevement!) I think i prefer the 357 day option myself  marcus PS. might go and see this guy off....seems he's setting off just up the road from me. I'm halfway between 5 ways and Midway... if that makes sense!!  Last edited by marcusl : 27-07.-2004 at 04:20 PM. Reason: do i need a reason! |

The coastline takes an awful lot more bends and loops, and there's no road (eg.the Kimberly coast) Cheers Peter |

I grew up Banksia Street just up North Road from Midway That would be some feat - 14,580 km in 56 days means an a daily average of 260 km and an average speed of 26 to 33 km/h for a daily ride time of 8 to 10 hours mikeg |
