On ya mate. I think the biggest thing about these long rides is the mind has time to think. Sometimes it's about weird stuff while other times is just blank and you're absorbing in your surroundings. Morale looks high so keep it up! Also let us know how those foakleys are holding up.
I am also keen to hear his review on the Foakleys. I did notice when he was videoing his face the far left and right of the glass lens were very translucent and the blue tint was very weak.
I went on a ride last summer. 600 miles one way. You know what I took? A single backpack and a saddle bag. By day 2 my back was in so much pain that I didn't feel it. I would never go back in time and take bike bags
Hi Maven! Just thought I would reminisce and watch one of your old videos! HNY to you, Hannah and the fam, what ever you are up to these days I hope it’s going well #crackinghuman
Ferg - that was awesome! You should take a group next year. I reckon heaps of your followers would join you. I have driven from Sydney to Perth twice and I absolutely agree with you, the country side is breath taking. The silence is eerie. The horizon out on the flats are amazing. Have a safe trip mate. You should get yourself a Fly6 and Fly12.
Your vids are epic. I just can't stop imagining you run up, put the camera down press record run back to your bike, ride past, get the camera the ride off... So much work! Thanks!
Mark you ways deliver never a dull vlog. Safe travels those wide open rides look epic, can't wait to do some touring myself. Following your journey on the Tube and Strava get it done!
That was awesome. Can't believe you had time and energy to edit it so beautifully. Definitely NOT boring. Keep it up mate. Tracking you on Strava and the Vlogs on this epic journey. Best.
Hey Maven I absolutely love your channel! Being following for a while now and I have 2 questions for you... What kind of iphone holder do you have on your bike stem? I'ld like a video on cornering during crits and gear selection going out of turns/corners. Thanks alot from Puerto Rico in the Caribbean!!!
Glad you made it to your stop, I don't think I would ride at night out there. To many things that will eat you, Spiders snakes and rabid kangaroo's, Lol.
What tyres are you running Mark? Surprised you don't have a CX for this sort of stuff, running 32 mil marathons or something...? Awesome vid too mate 👍🏼
nice adventure, but 25 kg's of equipment, golly ! My full cyclo camping gear for a month weighs less than half that, including cooking equipment, tent sleeping bag, mattress, reading books, maps etc. Mind you in 4 panniers it's much less aero. Anyway rock on dude, love the stuff you post up. Ta.
Hey Mark. I remember reading the comments in one of your vids where you said the website where you learned to edit the videos. Which kind of program are you using and what was that website? Thanks mate.
the glasses look very nice. I tried to find them online but when i google "foakleys" i dont find a shop where i can buy them. These and a pair of m Frames for 20-30 bucks would be awesome. Btw awesome vlogs and content. Keep the good work going.
Hi Mark, just wondering if you can help me out, I’m looking for the company you did a review on jaw breaker replacement UV lenses. Can you send me the contact details of repost the utube video Thanks Glen

Awesome video Mark, thanks for taking the time to share a very cool experience!
That looks amazing! Well done!
You are very inspirational!
As if 800+km isn't far enough, you're still doing ride by video. Champion :D
That's what I was thinking, imagine having to set up camera do ride by and then go back for camera haha
Paul Malone
That's commitment right there.

Awesome work Bud. I have only just found you on YT. Can't wait to follow over your Journeys.
You should do a little vid on how to pack your panniers and what panniers you chose and why. Or have you already done this for a previous trip?
Serious props man. You kept the interest flow going
You are a deadset legend.

Your employer better start looking for a replacement, you won't be selling med equipment much longer, best road video ever! Be safe.
Dude You got a great soul ride!
Solid effort Mark
Brilliant mate, stunning scenery. Makes me want to move the Aus. Smash it tomorrow :-)

When's the next vid going up I can't wait match longer I'm craving one of your awesome vlogs
do you lock your bike when you stop to buy things?
nice adventure, but 25 kg's of equipment, golly ! My full cyclo camping gear for a month weighs less than half that, including cooking equipment, tent sleeping bag, mattress, reading books, maps etc. Mind you in 4 panniers it's much less aero. Anyway rock on dude, love the stuff you post up. Ta.
Why wouldn't you have taken the LHT for this? Comfort is where it's at!
Hey Mark. I remember reading the comments in one of your vids where you said the website where you learned to edit the videos. Which kind of program are you using and what was that website? Thanks mate.

This is my favorite thus far!!!
Long day in the saddle. Any numbness?
Fuck yeah cycling, that's what it's about
Epic as!
What type of bag is that hanging from the top tube and is it waterproof?
Was that the hard shoulder you were cycling on isn't that illegal ???
super cool mate, would love to be thete
Youre absolutely mad wearing a backpack for that whole trip
Why didn't you ride the Surly?
isn't is made for this kind of ride?
Mavern, you're a bit of a fruit loop cycling to Adelaide in 2 days with all the gear. But def paid off in the end with such awesome footage.
+Mack Wan .
agreed, strong base training ride. plus burning those fat calories. Definitely Ready for A grade in the end.
Mate you are carrying some gear, that's as much as I took on a 3 month ride around USA lol, but that looks like o beautiful ride.
stay safe bruh.., =D
Mark what did you eat before the ride?
what kind of light is that again?
the glasses look very nice. I tried to find them online but when i google "foakleys" i dont find a shop where i can buy them. These and a pair of m Frames for 20-30 bucks would be awesome. Btw awesome vlogs and content. Keep the good work going.
It would be nice if u could give Durianrider a quick visit in Adelaide and teach him how he gets his Video quality to the next level. :D
When are the next videos coming
Hi Mark, just wondering if you can help me out, I’m looking for the company you did a review on jaw breaker replacement UV lenses.

Thanks Glen
Get back to vlogs like this !
Wow mate. Mad respect. I wish you would use snapchat a bit more!
Almost surreal makes me want to cycle 800 k OK maybe 200k OK down the street to the cafe.
Buying a rug is boring as bat shit, not riding through the night!
