Australia: The Final Chapter

I feel it fitting that after a 30 year career as a firefighter... the last 10 years cycling around the world, that I end my career when I finish my global circumnavigation by bike.... in Melbourne. 
It has been the most amazing career full of happiness and sadness helping people that called for us. I was fortunate to have saved many Iives....and to me it was the most rewarding feeling ever. I would repeat my career again in a heartbeat. Because along with my journey I had truly found my destiny!.I am not stopping riding after as a matter of fact I plan to continue full time.I have put it all together in a book I hope to publish next year for my charity and to inspire others. 
Firefighter's from around the world will join me in Melbourne to celebrate November 18 and I am most humbled to be in their company on such a significant day in my life. Today, I will go for a rather sad (yes I will cry) long solo ride and reflect on my career from sunrise to sunset. Stay tuned to follow an amazing journey across Australia that I assure we will never forget!
