1664km of Nothing | ON THE ROAD Ep.4

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- The Eyre Highway is a 1664km road connecting the states of Western Australia and South Australia via the Nullarbor Plain. It's an infamous road for those that decide to traverse it, particularly among bikepackers, earning its reputation from the lack of shoulder to cycle on, the baron landscape and consequential wind, danger from the traffic and lack of turns.
I found it hard to put this episode of On The Road together. My goal with these videos is to convey and express feelings rather than logistics, however playing you 7 hours of tarmac rolling past would neither be entertaining nor enough to get across just how accumulatively numbing the Eyre Highway is to ride.
It is an ocean you must imagine yourself jumping into, the next shoreline a town 1300km away.
With thanks to Peak Design for their support of these videos.

Absolutly brilliant love this as usual thoughtful and contemplative thanks!
What a great piece of work, the images, the story, the music, the editing. Just a pleasure to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
MAAAN YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO NICE !! It’s a big wave of inspiration!!
And again, he's produced a mind blowing story. I ordered a Specailized Diverge STR Comp last week, My first gravel bike and I'd be lying if i said you wasn't a huge inspiration behind that purchase, Been mountain biking for the last 5 years but damn I'm excited to explore the world in a different means now. Thank you for being such an inspiration!!!
There’s a world out there waiting! Enjoy the new bike day 🙏
Hey Mate, thanks so much for taking us along on your journey on & off the bike. I do believe that you were meant to do this ride and share how beautiful people and the world can be. Ride safe and sorry about all the punctures you’ve had here in Oz. If you’re coming via Brisbane give us a yell.
Incredible videos dude. Thankyou!
"Everyone warns you about the spiders and snakes but no one about the flies or ants" it's SO relatable omg ahhaha
I’ve seen one snake, but swallowed countless flies 🥲 my record was 5 in a day on the Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa walks
I watched your video again and i dont think you realise how symbolic of life it is everything you say is exactly like the life journey soo interesting thankyou!
Hands down the most entertaining bike touring videos out there 😮💨 Keep it up boss!!
an absolutely amazing video. been watching your videos for quite some time now and it's making me want to just go out there. keep up the work and safe travels❤
Loved the description of the timelessness of the nullabor. I experienced something very similar in OZ... I imagine its what the Aboriginals call the dreamtime....100 countries traveled and only in Oz does this happen. I would keep drifting away in my mind to somewhere wonderful then snap back to reality.
Definitely expressed some real feeling with this one - loved it!
Never disappoint❤ ride safe🤝
This video was once again amazing, the way in which you've captured the feelings, the storytelling, the videography combined with the music, it gave me literal goosebumps and somehow made me all emotional. Thanks for sharing this experience and doing it in such an inspiring way ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words!
extraordinary Boru.
I just love and get so inspired by these videos documenting your journey. The storytelling is just beautiful! Feels like I'm emotionally there with you almost. Huge probs to the editing as well!
nice capture
What you say about arriving and trying to fall asleep is EXACTLY like life suddenly you arrive at 67 and 18 seems 2 min away but a long 2 min away
Keep doing you man. This is the best series on TH-cam!
Love it mate x
What a feeling you captured with this edit and what journey you are on. Thanks for sharing it with the world
An incredible journey, and such great storytelling. Love it
Thank you so much for these films. ♠️♥️
as always, your videos are so inspiring, the goal is the journey with ups and downs. So authentic and truthful… Have you ever considered making it into a book when you finish your trip ?
I’ve definitely considered it. I hope I can 🤞
I walked it. Heaps to see. Was the best part of Perth to Sydney .
Nice video. Thanks
absolutely amazing once again! So well put together and love the way you describe it all, even some the downsides and difficulties of it all. Keep it up, looking forward to the next one!
I appreciate it so much!
goddamn this is so beautiful
Hey Boru!
How’s your experience with the 1by drivetrain during the trip? I’m about to decide between 1 and 2by for my next gravel/bikepacking setup and would love to hear your opinion! Doesn’t seem like you’re spinning out on the road rides and it also looks like you’re comfortable on bigger climbs - so did you ever feel the need for a larger gear range or smaller gaps?
I do often miss the 2x setup. Bike weight doesn’t matter so much on the flats so I find you want near to normal gears, but on the climbs the weight is such a factor that the wider range a 2x setup gives can make it a lot more comfortable. With the weight of a touring set up, I think it’s also important to not push too hard a gear so that your knees don’t give up on you 20 years too soon. 2x means you can always find the perfect cadence for your speed, rather than having to adjust your speed for the cadence. The first diverge I had (the one I’m riding in the Mind Mapping videos) comes as 1x, and I changed it before leaving to 2x for the above reasons. The Diverge STR I’ve been on since i arrived in Indonesia last year is 1x only and cannot take a front mech
Thank you so much for the elaborate answer. That’s what I thought already - awesome to get some first-hand feedback from you!
I’ve been following your journey for some time now and it’s super inspiring! Keep up the great work and enjoy the ride!
