Bicentennial National Trail

This is when things started to go wrong.

The 20th of July 2014 – Port Douglas to almost Stewart’s Creek via Mossman

Today I reluctantly leave Port Douglas, I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t spent any time on the quiet south side of the beach. I follow the busy road to Mossman, which is only an hour away. I use the opportunity to have a good lunch and go to the post office. The two trekking…

Friday the 17th of July – Mt Molloy to Port Douglas

Yesterday was a big one for me. Pushing up those hills and navigating through difficult terrain and dense vegetation for over 70km left me tired. This is one of those days when I give everything I have and ride to my limits, thinking I’ll rest soon. It’s definitely not a sustainable pace. At 8am I…

Tuesday the 14th of July – Wild River to Irvinebank

Despite having 10 hours of sleep, I’m still tired and could go for some more. This morning a surprise is waiting for me, there is frost outside. That hasn’t happened to me for weeks. Today I’m still feeling weak from yesterday’s sickness. Everything I do is slow, and I even consider staying here for the…

Monday the 13th of July – Gunnawarra Road to Wild River

Over the weekend I stayed at Kathy and Steve’s place. Kathy and Steve have been following me on my trip for some time, and are passionate about mountain biking and bikepacking.They have done extremely remote travelling and have some amazing stories to tell. During the weekend we share many stories and experiences about our bikepacking…
