In 2018 I was able to rise to the challenge of riding an average of 100k per week for the year.
In 2019 I ride from Melbourne to Adelaide starting mid-March. This went OK so I aimed to cycle 600ks a month, 6000k in 2019, in order to keep fit. This happened – although with the introduction of an electric bike mid 2019.
The task in early 2020 was to prepare for another Victorian Rail Trail adventure in March/April but then, as we all know, COVID-19 happened. We have re-scheduled that trip twice now, currently aiming at Feb/March 2023. By then we will be vaccinated, multi-boosted and covid may have mutated enough to not kill us or leave us breathless.
For 2022 I will be focussing on riding 100k a week, 5,200k for the year to keep fit for next seasons camping tours. I am also thinking about how to carry gear on Ernie the Bike E. Can I add racks or maybe a trailer? A question to be resolved.
Here’s how things are going :

Hi Tony

Sorry Rob – don’t know of anyone. I thought it must be yours on Gumtree.
A pity it didn’t work for you but I trust the two wheel version is still working well.
