Was pretty keen when I found out @piratelifebeer was brewing a Tropical Pale. Stoked to pick up a four-pack and give it a go. Fruity, hoppy, refreshing - right up my street! #craftbeer #craftbeerlover #hops #chefskiss

Perfect post-ride refreshment from @zythobrewing #zesty #paleale #craftbeer #craftbeerlife

Taking the @piratelifebeer Açai and Passionfruit Sour for a spin. . Verdict: #chefskiss #refreshingaf . #craftbeer #fruitsour #hops #fruity

🇦🇺 Breaking my IG/social media hiatus with this - I am now officially an Aussie.

TFW the postie drops by with an unexpected package and you remember that back in December ‘18 you signed yourself up for a 162km bike ride that’s happening in less than 5 weeks. . Equal parts 😳 and 🎉 . @noosaclassic . #cyclistlife #cycling #noosaclassic #bikelife #instacycling

Apparently this was seven years ago today - a group of friends and I had just cycled 1,600km from Land’s End to John o’Groats in the UK to raise money for @cr_uk . . Good times!

Rad morning spent with Miss 5 doing a spot of indoor rock climbing at @eaclimbing while Miss 3 went to watch Peppa Pig at the cinema with Mum. . Seriously, this kid has mad skills and crazy-good game for someone that has rock-climbed maybe once or twice before. Future @redbull or @thenorthface athlete in the making (and I’m only half kidding!). 🤙🏻 . #prouddad #dadlife #rockclimbing #climbing #indoorclimbing

Behold the face of the man who has barely touched a bike in the past few weeks (illness, family/work commitments etc) and decided to squeeze in a cheeky 30km on the hardtail today. . Even so, lovely day for it! . #cyclist #cyclistlife #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #mtb #knackered #wymtm #baaw

Today we promoted my eldest to 20” wheels and a proper ‘big girl bike’ - picked up a @trekbikesau Precaliber 20 to match my X-Caliber from the good folk down at @trekbicyclewoolloongabba (had to pick out a new @ridebontrager helmet and gloves as well to mark the occasion). . It’s a touch on the large side for her at the moment but she’ll grow into it in no time - and besides, after about 5 minutes of getting the measure of it she smashed out 3km as if it was nothing. Looking forward to taking this one out on the cycleway with me as her confidence (and legs!) grows. . #prouddad #startthemyoung #outsideisfree #cyclist #cyclistdad #cyclingdad #dadlife

Today’s findings: .

1. I really need to practice unclipping from the pedals when I hit obstacles (especially my left foot) .
2. The @goproanz Chesty mount is awesome, but I need to adjust the angle of the camera. .
3. I need to pick a new helmet - more specifically one with a visor. I might as well wear a blindfold when climbing up into the early morning sun. . Was a little more cautious out in the trails than usual - mainly because it was my first time in a long time clipping in while off-road - but also things were pretty sketchy after the rain earlier this week. All-in-all though, a morning of good clean fun (and by ‘clean’ I mean muddy af!). . #mountainbike #mountainbiking #mtb #xcmtb #cyclist #cycling #outsideisfree #fromwhereiride
