Cycling Kyushu, Japan | Fukuoka to Ibusuki | 2 weeks | 850kms

My first time bikepacking, EVER. A trip I had dreamed about for 5 years became a reality in October 2024. This was the most difficult, physically and mentally challenging I have ever done in my life. 2 weeks and 850kms that I will never forget. As an amateur cyclist with minimal camping experience only at site where you could drive to, this was a challenge that I severely underestimated. I had no training in the 2 months prior to my flight, only a 60km test ride with my bags a week before. 00:00 Melbourne to Fukuoka 01:55 Fukuoka to Hado Cape 05:07 Hado Cape to Nagasaki 10:04 Nagasaki to Kumamoto 14:00 Kumamoto to Kagoshima 18:06 Kagoshima to Ibusuki Instagram @himynameisadrian
