We made it!
Canberra Zoo to Dubbo Zoo in two and a half days. A total of 480km.
It is a great feeling as this is the furthest I’ve cycled in such a short length of time.
As I said in my video straight after the ride as we were chilling and enjoying a bbq and beer provided by the Zoo, I probably shouldn’t have done the cycle around the zoo as that was an extra 5 kilometres I really didn’t need on top of the already tiring day!
Anyway it is a great place. The Western Plains Zoo is set up with a safari feel. You can cycle or drive around the park which winds amongst the enclosures. Although it was the middle of the day so the animals were mostly hiding in the shade.. we still managed to catch the big African ones such as the Elephants.
Of course it isn’t the same as being on an actual safari which would be amazing, yet I still remember when I was a little kid, cycling around the zoo with my family was so much fun. You can see so much more on a bike.
Thanks again to everyone who supported me on this trip with your generous donations to the Black Dog Institute.. I hope to do it again soon.
Maybe you can join us?!
