WANDERING SWAGMAN: John Cadoret has been walking around Australia for 35 years and lives off coins from the side of the road. Picture: Les Smith JOHN Cadoret is a fair dinkum Aussie swagman. For the past 35 years he has lived on the road, walking across the barren landscapes of Australia and sleeping under the stars. His favourite place is the Hay Plains because it is “deadset flat” and “you can see a car coming for 15 minutes before it passes you”. He doesn’t rely on the dole or government handouts – he lives off coins left on the side of the road. Mr Cadoret passed through Wagga this week, en route from Queensland to Ballarat to see his sister for a couple of days. Follow @ashleighgleeson
How to find & create awesome cycling routes in a smarter way | DC Rainmaker Despite having lived in Paris almost a year now, I’ve rarely cycled outside of my little set of known routes and locales. Partly because the weather has been so bad this winter that I spent a lot of it on a trainer. But also partly because of the unknown aspect (and language barrier). But with the weather finally getting nice here, it was time to venture out of the city. The trick is – how do you create a viable and functional cycling route out of thin air? While following a ‘known’ route is good, it doesn’t really help when the ‘known route’ starts 15 miles away and goes someplace else. In a completely unrelated find a few weeks ago I stumbled on Race Shape. Holy cowbells batman! It’s enumerating 917 million data points (according to the stats at the top), and in doing so is effectively showing me all of the Strava rides ever done. But wait, could I zoom in and make it more useful? And further: Now we’re talking! I can click to actually show me the relevant nearby Strava Segment. And this:

Strava vs. MapMyRide | Muddled Ramblings and Half-Baked Ideas One of the first decisions I made after choosing a bicycle was choosing an app. I did a search on the ol’ app store and found quite a few options, but only a few were what you might call “feature-rich”. Strava, the most popular app for bicyclists, did not appear in my search results for whatever reason, and I ended up choosing MapMyRide. Later I heard about Strava — first from a comment on this very blog, and realized that most of the cyclists around me were using that service. There are, I’ve heard, people who ride bicycles without an app, if you can believe that. When I got my Apple Watch I found that Strava has a a watch app but MapMyRide does not. While I was interested in Strava, I was not about to abandon all that data. So I have been using both for quite some time now, and this episode is intended to compare and contrast the two services. Technology: Strava wins hands-down. Strava’s iPhone app just works better, and MapMyRide doesn’t even have a watch app. Use of Spaces Ugh.
OpenCycleMap.org - the OpenStreetMap Cycle Map Un-racing the Hunt 1000 Long-distance endurance races have been a fixture of the international bikepacking (lightweight touring) scene for years, and now they're cropping up in Australia as well. The Monaro Cloudride, and the Race to the Rock (to name a couple) are self-supported, multi-day races on mixed terrain. To win these races you need to endure brutal sleep deprivation: Race the Rock winner Sarah Hammond described visual hallucinations and microsleeps on the final stretch. You're also unlikely to be riding with more than one other person, if you're riding with anyone at all. That's not really my idea of a good time. Ollie has a theory that amateur sporting events develop like this: Someone gets really good at somethingThey design an event to push the limits of their abilitiesOnly a few people show up The Hunt 1000 ride, from Canberra to Melbourne through the Snowy Mountains, was different. I've been reading Grant Peterson's book Just Ride. Old habits, however, die hard. Here's the ride as we did it:
