A true milestone: the end of the Nullabor Plain!

Udeni arrived in Ceduna this afternoon, thus officially completing the Nullabor Plain leg of his journey. It has been almost exactly one month since he started and to date Udeni has ridden over 2000km, in both extreme heat and cold, strong head winds and dust storms.

“The first 40km of today’s ride has been the toughest so far because of the strong East-West winds- I was almost blown off my bike! Luckily after that I changed directions around the Great Australian Bight and got a tailwind for the rest of the way, but the dust was pretty bad for visibility”.

Udeni’s arrival in Ceduna saw him receive a certificate for crossing in the Plain, and after two days of bush camps in the final stretch of the Nullabor, Udeni is looking forward to a good meal and an early rest tonight!
