NSW cyclist Richard Vollebregt may soon break the Trans Australia Perth to Sydney cycling record of 9 days, 23 hours, and 25 minutes. He aims to finish the Sydney GPO early Sunday morning and is positioned to be the record by up to 15 hours if he continues at his current pace.
So far, weather conditions have been ideal for the ride, with most days being overcast and average temperatures in the mid 20’s (Celsius). Despite averaging four hours sleep per night, the 39-year-old Vollebregt appears to be in good spirits and continues riding up to up to 16 hours and up to 500km per day. Vollebregt has already ridden 3,270km. 730km remain until he reaches Sydney.
