Ah the sweet unpredictability of storm season in Queensland. Time to set up my indoor bike torture chamber (aka my messy garage) in order to keep those wheels spinning #cycling #cyclistlife #cootthaburntraining #indoors #turbo #tacxtrainer #tacxlife #shutuplegs #queensland #weather #storms #brisbaneigers #brisbanecootthaburn #brisbanecyclists #cootthaburn #traininsane

"I love hill climbs!” - said no cyclist ever

I like to have targets with my cycling, and since I’m pretty time-poor at the moment, long distance rides aren’t really a possibility. So I’ve decided to combat one of the things I least enjoy about riding (hill climbing) and enter the inaugural @cootthaburn next February - essentially an uphill time-trial that climbs Mount Coot-tha overlooking Brisbane.

As many who know me know, Mount Coot-tha is pretty special to me - it’s where I proposed to my wife, amongst other things - hopefully when all is said and done I won’t hate the place haha.

I'll even try to raise money for charity (watch this space)

Training starts today. #shutuplegs
