Finally (!) saw the benefit of n + 1 today. Was all geared up for a roll out on my 29er hardtail, only to discover it had a flattie as I was loading onto the car. Instead of spending time repairing it I just grabbed my full-suspension and carried on. Still need to fix that puncture though 😒 . #cyclist #cycling #cyclistlife #mountainbiking #mountainbike #fromwhereiride #cyclistsofinstagram

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

Not a big numbers ride this morning - unless you count my average heart rate! Haven’t been out on the full-suspension since the beginning of March so decided to take advantage of the good weather and dive round a few of the trails at Bunyaville. Fitness definitely needs work! #mtb #mtblife #cyclist #cyclistlife #singletrack #outsideisfree #fromwhereiride #dadcyclist #giantbikesaus #trance #fullsuspension

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!

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

Stoked to have found these @tastinz Smooshed Wholefood Balls at my local @aldiaustralia store. For the past few weeks they have been my go to for nutrition whilst out on the bike. Delicious, compact, clean energy - I find I digest them much better than any energy gels. The peanut butter and caramel are my current jam. . . #tastinz #cleanenergy #wholefood #cyclist #cycling #nutrition #trainingwithpurpose #sportsnutrition #cyclistlife #ridebikesgetoutside #yum #nomnom #instasnacks
