Peter Cork, now in his 70s, undertook the challenge of cycling across Australia at age 60, facing extreme heat conditions. Despite finding the journey brutal, he embraced the adventure. He now enjoys cycling near his home by the Great Western Greenway and has built a waterside dream home on Clew Bay, highlighting his lifelong passion for water sports such as kayaking. The struggles he faced while cycling were reminiscent of his keen sense for adventure, particularly in unpredictable weather conditions.
"It was really fantastic, but it was brutally tough. I’ve done some other tough canoeing and kayaking trips, but that was the toughest thing I ever did, to be honest."
"We had bad luck with the heat. We started off early in April, but they had the hottest April on record. Oh, my god. We were cycling in about 40C for the first three weeks."
