Cycling Adelaide to Melbourne 800kms

Cycling 800kms from Adelaide to Melbourne in 2.5 days
‍

A few years ago a friend of mine said he wanted to ride to Adelaide and since then the idea has been always in the back of my mind...

So last week (1 week before I did this) I decided it was time to give it a crack. I knew with no real specific training this was going to be rough, but I knew it was possible and that was enough! 
‍

So in the week leading up to the trip I organised everything I needed to get prior, which was only the following:

• Bike
• Backback
• Powerbank
• Sleeping bag
• Tent

Off I went...but I flew to Adelaide and rode back.

Day 1 (Wednesday)
‍

Wednesday morning I flew to Adelaide with my bike and 1 backpack.

• Flight landed 10:00am
• Uber straight to the bike shop where I got my tyre fixed (tyre came loose on the flight)
• Servo stop to get some supplies
• 190kms later I was in some random town staying in a motel at 11:00pm.

Day 2 (Thursday)
‍

Started riding around 8am in the morning, legs were stiff and my bum sore as could be...

• Shoulders & wrists were the worse part so far
• 200km's later I was in Nhil
• Once again in a motel making 90% of my supplies useless
• By this point I was quite broken

Day 3 (Friday) 
‍

By day 3 I was OVER IT, body was breaking and mentally I was flat as could be.

• Started riding at 4am
• Didn't stop till 1pm
• Back on the bike at 2pm
• Finished in Caroline Springs around 9pm (Melbourne)

Total of about 746kms
