Mr. William Virgin, the cyclist who rode into Melbourne from Perth on Saturday, is a fitting successor on the journey to Mr. William Snell, holder of the Coolgardie to Melbourne record. Mr. Snell wanted to visit his people in the Western district of Victoria, and, instead of worrying about trains and boats he jumped on his bicycle and rode across at the rate of nearly 100 miles a day.

Blenk era silenziosa. Non so a cosa stesse pensando. Probabilmente a ciò a cui pensavo io: all’affidabilità della moto, alle difficoltà del clima, al nostro stato di salute, alle malattie e a tutte le raccomandazioni che ci avevano fatto, o a tutti quei misteriosi beduini dagli occhi neri, che ci fissavano, e ci fissavano. E ci fissavano. Ora che eravamo sole sarebbero stati ospitali? Scivolammo via, puntando dritte verso l’ignoto.

17,300 miles is the distance from Los Angeles, California to New York, New York — seven times. It is about 5,000 miles less than the entire circumference of the Earth. It is a number I had only seen on the odometer in my car.
