On a bike with fat tyres built for the snow of a Canadian winter, Canberra builder Andrew Kerec is about the ride from the western-most point to the eastern-most point of Australia, across the dunes of the Simpson Desert, and then back down to Canberra - all for his dad Lud and other people with spinal cord injuries.
The west-to-east journey, from Steep Point to Cape Byron, will cover 5500km and Mr Kerec plans to finish it in 65 days, setting a new record for the route which he has dubbed The Spine Tingling Ride.
