Terra Australis Bike Epic 6,500k

OK boys and girls ... entries open January 1. You still have time to get fit for this...

Starting 15 September 2018. From the tip of Australia at Cape York finishing at the bottom, Wilson's Promontory in Victoria. Just you and your bike, no support, the clock runs non-stop... off road. You'll end up a bit grubby on the outside but you will cleanse the mind and cleanse the soul .... do something that's possible that you thought was impossible.

"All men dream: but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was all vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible."

T.E. Lawrence, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Everything you need to know is on the website ...

If you're riding 6500km to cross Australia, you may as well finish the job by doing Tasmania as well :D

My husband and I visited DRM for the first time in Sept 2017. We of course loved it and are starting to think about our 2018 trip already I would like to go Jan/Feb when it is freezing back at home. He is worried the ocean might be too cold to swim and that we should wait until Spring. Thoughts anyone???
