During his travels, the professional cyclist has braved brutal headwinds, extreme temperatures, dangerous traffic and even dusted himself off after a run-in with a kangaroo.
That’s all while cycling up to 17 or 18 hours a day, stopping only to sleep, eat and mentally reset before doing it all again.
“Rainy days, big, long headwind days – I think mentally they’re probably the most challenging,” says Morton.
Reminding yourself that you’re just on a bike ride becomes very important.”This, however, is far from any normal bike ride.
Morton has had to negotiate large trucks on his cycle around Australia.
