While we were super excited to cycle up to Broken Hill to see our mums, there was no way we were going to cycle the same road back if we could help it. Luckily for us, Tim’s brother has a ute (utility for those of you not Aussies) and was kind enough to drive us back to Peterborough to start...
Just a quick note to tell you all that the distances and details of the ride can be found at the end of this post. This ride was definitely one of the heart and not the head.
