through your day? Sometimes a chat with good friends and putting stuff in perspective is gold. This photo (Jason Henry) was taken roadside on day 7 of Across America in Illinois. Ray Dunstan and Callum Anderson helped me see the funny side to 170+ hours of non-stop racing.

Not long to go now...

Where's the time gone?? This time next week I'll be Stateside, acclimatising and setting up for the start of the solo Race Across America on 11 June.

It was fantastic to catch up with some of my amazing state sponsors and family at Spy Valley Wines last night, as we talked through the journey so far, logistics and final preparations to compete in the toughest bike race in the world.

Thanks also to all the incredible team sponsors and the hugely supportive mile sponsors on my Givealittle page - nearly a third of the race length has now been sponsored! Keen to sponsor a mile or more? Head to https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/solokiwi
