The Indian Pacific Wheel Race is a 5,500 kilometre (3,400 mile) ultra distance self supported road bike race across Australia from the Indian Ocean in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the East. It joins a growing list of long distance bike packing races such as the Trans America, the Transcontinental and the Tour Divide. Should I get through the Trans America in June relatively physically and mentally unscathed then this race sits atop my ride Bucket List.
