I will be riding across the continent from east to west, that is, from Sydney to Perth. Riding in this direction makes more sense since most of the riding will be done in the morning in the direction of the sunlight rather than against. Couple of benefit from this are less glare for my eyes and reduced skin contact to harmful UV radiation.<\/p>\n<p>I will be starting my tour on the 16th of March, right after I fly into Sydney on the night of 15th. Can&#8217;t believe this is happening so soon! But I&#8217;m glad it is, I have been waiting for six months now! Three more days and I am off to what I hoped to be the biggest adventure in my life so far! I cannot find a single word to describe how I am feeling right now, excitement and nervousness are definitely there!<\/p>\n<p>I have divided my overall route to 5 sections or legs, so that it makes writing more manageable and to make the distance less intimidating *gasps*. I will be documenting my experience as I travel and upload them into this website whenever there&#8217;s internet access.
