In January I set off from Adelaide, Australia to cycle "Around The World In 180 Days". This was a personal project that I've been working towards for the better part of a decade. Along the way I was raising money for children's charities in Australia. I made 14,100km in 88 days before my bike was stolen in The Netherlands.
The route was 90% on sealed roads. But, I thought the nature of the riding, distances, and questionable "camping" locations might appeal to the bikepacking community.
Here's some photos from the road.
I stuck to the Guinness rules for around the world.
-In one direction (east)
-Passing two antipodal points
-The clock didn't stop when transiting
I'm happy to answer any questions about anything. If your wanting to do something similar I have a lot of info I'm happy to share. Spreadsheets with health stats, cycling data, budget expenditure etc.

Are you planning on continuing with a new bike? Did you lose all your gear too? How absolutely awful to 15km to have it end due to a thief.
This is fantastic.
What’s up with your tent in the back of the camioneta?
