Swipe to the end for a clip I filmed on 4 August of me losing my mind that people actually wanted to follow this journey I’m on 🥹
You see, when I arrived in Sydney, I hadn’t even announced TOURMULA 1 and I had a huge backlog of videos to edit.
30 videos, in fact.
Which I managed, but it took 1.5 months.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t cycle any further because I would’ve run out of time on my tourist visa before reaching the next international airport. So I committed to a week of rest and then flew to Queestown in New Zealand for a couple weeks.
It was super beautiful, but I found myself a bit lost without my bike. I couldn’t afford to do all the traditionally touristy things so I spent a lot of days not doing much in the hostel. Eventually I found my groove, went on a few hikes, played some disc golf and finished editing my cycling vlogs.
Behind the scenes, I’d been discussing the potential to be a part of , which would be broadcast over the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. And I didn’t know it at the time, but this would eventually lead to me flying out to Singapore to finish the shoot and watch the Grand Prix.
So when I returned to Sydney, I still couldn’t leave just yet. I had to once again wait as I wouldn’t have enough time to cycle to the next international airport before I was needed to be in Singapore.
Ah well, there’s worse places to be. I got to explore the city and spend time with my new hostel friends and play lots of beach volleyball.
Then Singapore happened. Which was just UNREAL in so many ways...
Getting to ride my bike on the track in its full race weekend setup. Seeing myself on TV . Being interviewed LIVE. Watching George Russell cook the entire field from the media building at Turn 19.
Then when I got back from Singapore, it was immediately time for the Bathurst — riding Mount Panorama on my bike, getting to do a hotlap and watching Bathurst 1000 thanks to and
All of which was INCREDIBLE.
However when the dust settled, I realised I’d been off the bike for over 3 months.
Worth it.
Sydney you’ve changed my life.
