A quick lunchtime 20k in the blazing QLD sun ☀️🚲😓 Spent the first 5km cautiously trying to identify an intermittent rattle before remembering that I had put ice cubes in one of my water bottles 😖 #cycling #cyclist #cyclistlife #avanti

Lived in Australia for over four years and finally flying on a @qantas Dashie for the first time BNE - NTL #qantaslink #qantaslinkdash8 #frequentflyer
2018 is going to be a big year for me - I turn 40(!), I finally become an Australian citizen, and I will be cycling some 3,000km to raise money and awareness for @dementia_australia.
I wanted to complete a substantial athletic challenge before my 40th birthday in September and have settled on cycling from Coolangatta on the Queensland/New South Wales border all the way up to Cape York, mainland Australia's most northern point.
The challenge isn't just in the ride itself, though - the really tricky part will be transforming myself from a reasonably unfit, mildly overweight middle-aged guy into an endurance athlete, capable of cycling 200-250km every day for over two weeks.
I am aiming to complete the ride some time in August - exact dates and route are still a work in progress. Over the coming weeks I will be putting together a website to track my progress as well as accept donations. I will also start inviting corporate support for various aspects of the ride and my training. In the meantime you can follow my training progress on @strava (link in my bio). #2018 #2018goals #cycling #cyclist #charity #charityride
Pretty good reward from @woolworths_au for doing four weekly shops with them #newtoy #gadgets #googlehomemini #woolworths #woolies
Feeling hella sick after eating some dodgy chicken yesterday, but brainstorming a physical challenge for the middle of next year. It’s going to involve cycling. Lots of cycling.
Currently looking for worthwhile Australia-/Queensland-based causes to raise money and awareness for (check out the link in my bio) - all suggestions welcome.
Completely forgot I’d gotten this before I went to the UK - cheeky @craftybrewau craft beer advent calendar courtesy of my wife. I shall now proceed to play catch up... #craftybrew #craftbeer #adventcalendar #brewlife

Got some new ink on my flying visit to Edinburgh - long-overdue addition of my girl’s names. Thanks to Callum at @tribalbodyart for an awesome job #tattoo #dadlife #dadtattoo
14 hour flight to Abu Dhabi, then another 8 to Heathrow. With two kids. Under four. What’s the worst that can happen?! 🤔 #havemercy #longhaul #etihad
