We passed the halfway mark of our seemingly endless 1,200km cycle. Thanks to everyone’s who tuned in and donated to the Immune Deficiency Foundation - over $400,000 raised so far!
I won’t lie it’s been tough. Every morning I wake up to throbbing legs, muscles sore from the day before. Every passing truck feels like a near death experience, and each day seems to now blend into one, with barely any time to recuperate between each stretch.
But for every stretch of highway, the journey is punctuated with moments of beauty; a Torii gate in a quiet village, a serene moment by a gushing stream or the afternoon breeze across a luscious rice field.
Having guests join Connor and I has been a real blessing too for morale; Garnt and Felix were legendary companions and I’ve more memories than I can count from the last week alone. From battling through torrential rains, and getting a brofist by Himeji castle, to being guided through Osaka by a kind stranger (thanks Toru!) and getting swept up in the crowds of a Hanami party at the Kintai Bridge.
Thanks again for joining us on the first week of our epic adventure guys. 6 days to go and tomrorow is one hell of a day - wish us luck!
