New tee from @oneupcomponents is my entire mood today. 🚲 . #worklessridemore #cyclist #cyclistlife #lifebehindbars #ratherberiding #mountainbiking

Starting the day right! It's been at least 5-6 years since I last rode Jurassic (2) and Carnivore (6) at Bunya - both black diamond trails. Partly because of the scary names 😜, but mainly due to lack of fitness. . The fitness still isn't there, but today I put on my big boy pants and gave them both a go. Will need a couple more practice runs before I do either of them at speed, but managed to get through them both without any spills. . Also my first time riding up the rock garden out of Creek Track (4) - small victories 💪🏻. . #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #mountainbiking #cyclist #cyclistlife #wymtm #mtb

Maximum effort on the trails rewarded with a trip to @cleanskincoffeeco on the way home. . #cyclist #cyclistlife #mountainbikinglife #mountainbike #mtb #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #getoutsideridebikes #coffee #maximumeffort #strava

At the beginning of October I decided to go alcohol-free for at least a month - no mean feat when you are a self-professed beer enthusiast. I did this previously in August, and it felt great, but I was finding that my options at the local bottleshops were sometimes a little limited if you wanted something other than a non-alcoholic lager (hoppy ales is more my jam). I was stoked to discover @craftzeroau and have just received my first delivery of a selection of beers from around the globe. .

First time out riding at Bunyaville in forever - reminded me how unfit I have become. Quite glad to have had to have stopped mid-ride because of a slithery boi across the trail 🐍. Still good fun though! . #fromwhereiride #mountainbike #cyclist #cyclistlife #outsideisfree #snakes #strava #gianttrance

Loving the new plates for the Ranger. 🙌🏻🚲💪🏻 . #ppqplates #ppqwin #personalisedplates #bike #fordranger2020 #wildtrak #mtb #gianttrance #cyclist #cyclistlife #fromwhereiride

The suburb I live in is called ‘Griffin’, named after the Griffin family who migrated to Australia from the Orkney Islands off the northern coast of Scotland, so this is a fitting birthday tipple from @bentspokebeer. . #craftbeer #craftbeerlover #birthdayboy #barleygriffin #hops #wattsandhops

Completed another lap around the sun - that means birthday churros are in order 🥳 . Thanks @shafizzledamizzle @sanchurronorthlakes @ubereats_aus . #churros #birthdayboy #getinmybelly #allthecarbs

Only taken ten months - finally managed to get down to the @brewdogau Tap Room for a cheeky schooner of Punk IPA. Tastes just as good as the one brewed back in Scotland. #chefskiss . #craftbeer #brewdog #punkipa #craftbeerlover

Been a big fan of the @fordaustralia Ranger Wildtrak ever since I first saw one, and now thanks to the great team @byrneford (hat tip to Brett in particular) we now own one. My naturalisation as an Australian citizen is complete - I drive a ute! 🇦🇺 . Now I have no excuse not to up my mountain biking game - this beast will pretty much go anywhere! . #fordranger #fordrangerwildtrak #ute #fordsofinstagram
