On Saturday 18th May at 9am NZT Joanna Sharpe will be departing Lee Point, north Darwin cycling via Uluu to Flinders
Street station Melbourne (4608km) in an attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for cycling the length of Australia
in the fastest time.
Joanna, an ultra distance cyclist from Coromandel Town New Zealand, has taken on a number of record breaking rides in
the past all to raise awareness and funds for Bowel Cancer NZ. This ride is no different.
Joanna, supported by her amazing crew of 5 hope to complete the solo ride in around 2 weeks cycling 300-400km per day
with limited sleep.
The terrain will prove challenging with its remoteness meaning logistics require a lot of planning. The extreme changes
in temperate as well as wildlife that they may encounter also proving challenging.
Joanna says if this ride can help raise awareness so that one person may receive early diagnosis and thus be able to
prevent a terminal bowel cancer diagnosis it will all be worth it.
