The Trails for Trees Challenge (2,000 km)!

Hi, I'm scientist and author Jake Robinson. I'm raising money for Trees for Life and The Forktree Project to help restore biodiversity in Adelaide, South Australia.

In some parts of South Australia, only 5% of the original vegetation remains and 26 plants, 23 mammals and 2 bird species are now extinct.

I'm cycling 2,000 km to raise money for two of Adelaide's restoration charities that aim to turn the tide and protect our precious ecosystems. I also want to showcase Adelaide's cycling network and promote active transport.

I'll be cycling all Tour Down Under Adelaide Cycling Atlas routes (incl. the notorious 900 km Mawson Trail) and more!

I have two weeks to complete the challenge but aim to cycle around 200 km per day.

18,000 m elevation! The challenge involves oodles of intense hill climbing. In fact, the total elevation gain will be more than two Mount Everests!

Please help restore nature by supporting my chosen charities!
