Tuesday April 4, 2023: Rest - check. Resupply - check. Out early doors - sort of. I'd planned earlier but t'was yet another case of faff'tus interruptus. 4:16am will just have to do. One thing was certain though, I had a real fire in the belly...

Monday April 3, 2023: The chilly mornings in the south east of Australia were bamboozling me. 20 years living in the Northern Hemisphere has completely buggered my warm weather sense of direction Down Under. Like a Canada Goose I am now conditioned to believe that...

Saturday April 1, 2023: It was a tough old departure from the substantial comforts and conveniences of the Bridgeport Hotel, Murray Bridge. I was sure to relieve my room of all its Nespresso capsules and Scotch Fingers, before reluctantly closing the door behind me. Back at...

Friday March 30, 2023: Out into a light drizzle at 5:13am, a little dazed and confused. So much so that I started riding in the wrong direction, literally the same way I had come into town the previous evening. I was on the route line...

Thursday March 29, 2023: Out onto the main drag of Laura just before 7am. The Coco Laura Cafe had literally just opened its doors so I popped in for coffee, Coke and pastries. It would have been rude not to. Unfortunately the pies were still...

Wednesday March 29, 2023: Out into the pre-dawn Kimba morning at 4:52am. Blustery Conditions. I then pedaled directly past the Big Galah apparently (according to Strava), but regrettably I completely missed it. That'd be two Big Misses of two Big Things (The Big Farmer and The...

Sunday March 26, 2023: As it was quite the late finish last night - 3:40am arrival (which included a +2.5 hour time zone change), plus at least an hour to calm down after a hectic ride in, I gave myself a reprieve by not setting...

Saturday March 25, 2023: My reacquaintance with the Eyre Highway resumed at 5:06am. Di must have been out very early yet again and was already 35ks up the road. I thought about it but I just didn't have the legs or the will power, particularly into...

I AM WRITING A BOOK

Yes I blogged about my 2017 Trans Am experience but there is so much more to be said. It is taking a while but it is absolutely going to get done. Should you want to receive updates on how the book writing is going please sign up below.

About Me

Hi, my name is Mark and I am a cyclist, a MAMIL Cyclist. I ride my bike whenever and wherever I get the chance. It is the means by which I keep my recalcitrant waistline under relative control. It is my hobby. It is my passion. It is my therapy. It now feeds my creative outlet in the form of this blog.

That is the short story, the longer (much longer) story is here.
