Heard this on the news too, would love to find out more details about this, what route he took what his average milage was. What a guy!0

Chapeau to that man! Awesome.0

Wow!! If he actually cycled 18,000 miles (not including boat crossings?) it means an average of 92 miles a day over the 195 days.0

The report said he did 100 miles a day - pretty amazing! I wish I'd known about it while he was doing it - could've followed the blog.Oct 2007 to Sep 2008 - anticlockwise lap of Australia... http://www.davidddinoz.blogspot.com/

Thats quite an achievement. Respect.
My only reservation would be that he seems to have taken quite a roundabout route through the US in order to build up the critical 18,000 miles ? What does everyone else think?0
