Spring has sprung so I’m dragging myself out of voluntary social media hibernation. What did I miss? 🐻 . #cyclist #cyclinglife #cyclistsofinstagram

Blue skies, gentle breeze and a schooner of @brouhahabrewery NZ Pale Ale - perfect conditions for the inaugural @brewdogchaingang Moreton Bay Chapter ride.

Not exactly a massive turnout, but not too shabby considering we’re essentially a regional chapter in a country with no @brewdogofficial bars (yet...). Already planning Ride #2, and how to raise a bit more awareness for it.

And so the @velothonaus training begins. 80km ride out along the bay with only a couple stops to refill the water bottle. Slow start as my legs were feeling heavy and tired, but soon got into the swing of things. Was going to go for 100km but ended up setting off a little later than originally planned - will have a bash at that next weekend.

11ish weeks to go until the start of the Velothon and heaps of work to do - bring it.

"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
