OZ Odyssey

I will depart on the Australian Odyssey from Perth on the 22 July 2010 and my aim is to reach Brisbane on the 24 September 2010. My route shall follow three of Australia’s desert tracks and shall pass as close as possible through the center of Australia. My cycle has been planned to take place during the Australian winter, reducing the risks associated with the extreme heat of the Australian deserts.

My cycle shall be undertaken solo without the aid of a support vehicle. All food and water required for the desert crossing will need to be carried or obtained on route.

I estimate that on average I will complete 100km per day. The route conditions vary considerably from sealed roads where it will be possible to complete longer distances to corrugated dirt roads and desert crossings.

The total distance to be covered is calculated at 5530km, the number of cycling days is estimated at about 52 days with an additional 13 rest days.
