Some guys just rode the whole Mawson Trail in 6 days! And yes, the photos are nothing short of spectacular.
Bicycle SA are no strangers when it comes to the Mawson Trail. For over a decade, we’ve been running our Outback Odyssey along this iconic trail. The trail offers the most beautiful and diverse cycling experience that Australia has on offer. Hell, let’s say the world.
It’s beautiful, It’s epic, It’s breathtaking. I mean, just take a look at this photo!

When we heard that the Cycling Tips crew were going to tackle the Mawson Trail in just 6 days we were impressed. (Our Outback Odyssey takes 16 days, although we do offer 5, 6 and 7 day options).
When we heard they were going to do it on Cyclocross Bikes, we even more impressed.
Because the weather, as they found out, can sometimes be muddy.

Make sure you read their amazing article, which includes a day by day Strava route of their journey and the most stunning photos that we’ve ever seen of the trail.
One last thing though. We’d love to know if they could do the trail on one wheel, because last year on our trip, Lindsey managed to ride the whole 900kms on a unicycle.
