Joining the Dots New Zealand Australia Indonesia: 001

This trip was always intended to be a journey joining the dots. Cycling from places I have been before to places Ive never been. Revisiting special places and finding new special places. Seeing for myself what others have talked about places that previously Ive only seen from 30000 feet places Ive read about or dreamed of visiting. The initial plan involved visiting 64 countries over four years and eight months. Ju said it was too long. Cut it in half. So there I was on a 900 day 50000km adventure joining the dots in 41 countries. What does a long distance cyclist see as they cross countries?Who do they encounter?What do they think about during those long hours in the saddle?What do they learn?Are there scary times?What about the weather?How many punctures bikes tyres?What do you eat?Does your bum hurt?Find out all the answers as Grum cycles across New Zealand Australia and Indonesia on the first leg of his adventure.
