Following Episode 10, where Kristen interviewed Sarah about her upcoming bikepacking trip in Outback Queensland, this is the post trip wrap up!
Sarah talks broadly about the experience of her ten day adventure, including how her route changed from the outset and how her trip mantra became “Make good choices, there are no rules”. She talks of the kindness of strangers; gratitude for her body; the challenges of being solo in a remote, Outback environment, including water management and camping around wild dogs. Sarah also touches on the idea of "wherever you go; there you are" and the deep presence found on these endurance missions.
Sarah travelled 2000km in her van; over 600km on her bike, Celeste; hiked 43km in her Teva sandals and spent 9.5 hours on the Spirit of the Outback train to complete her loop from Emerald to Longreach and back.
Sarah references her dynamo hub system on her Curve GMX+ which is an Australian built KLite set up.

The annoying popping sound made a return for this one - we're so sorry. We think we've sussed it now and hope it never returns again! Thanks for bearing with us.
