Sawyer kicks off this years European tour solo, with the band hitting the shores late July. Dates are announced and uploaded to the shows section of the website. Check em out!!
After spending a few days in Fremantle Harv and I both agreed to make this our final destination for the bike tour. There are a number of reasons why, including some financial difficulties, some time difficulties, and also the problems we are having with our hands to name a few.
I’m so proud of effort throughout the tour, and it’s certainly proved a great friendship between Harv and I. People would ask, “So have you guys had any massive fights yet?” And honestly we had to say, “Nah we’re all good.” Sure we both had our mood swings and got a bit grumpy from time to time. But we both understood what was going on in the others head, because sure enough along the say one of us had felt the same.
Its kind of disappointing to not make it the whole way around Australia, but I’m definitely not disappointed in myself. A few months ago I was in Europe throwing down way to many beers with the best of them, and here I am now having cycled across Australia feeling the fittest and healthiest I’ve ever been. It’s definitely a great start to future journeys to come. I set out on this trip in search of some form of inspiration and freedom from whatever was going on in my life, and I certainly found it. One thing for sure, I’m proud to be Australian. We have the most amazing country and I hope everyone out there can feel as lucky as I do living in this place. Please lets all look after it so it can be possible for future travelers to have a chance at possibly experiencing what Harv and I experienced on this trip.
First of all thank you to our families for helping us every step of the way. We couldn’t have achieved our goal without you.
I give tremendous thanks to all of the people we met along the way and specially to those of you who took us into your homes, and fed or accommodated us. Also thank you to those who believed in us, and to those who didn’t, thanks for the inspiration!
Hey all,
Just a quick g'day to let you all know Im still alive. Im currently riding my bike around Australia with my mate Harv. We've so far cycled from Melbourne to Ceduna, and the next show I'll be playing is in Esperance WA. Check out the tour blog by following the link above. I'll be in touch soon.
Cheers!
