Century Sunday 💯 . . Banked my first 100+ km ride of 2019 this morning - actually my first since the Noosa Classic last August. . . Bit of a last minute decision - wanted to see how I’d fare over a longer distance with the last two months of training under my belt. Really happy with my performance - especially over the last quarter. Even though my legs were definitely feeling fatigued I somehow managed to ride faster and stronger than ever 🤷🏻‍♂️ . . My only regret - finishing my ride at about 9am, it’s far too early to crack open a cold beer (it is, right?). Had to make do with a coffee instead. . . Looking forward to getting more of these in on a regular basis - next milestone will be the Imperial Century - 100 miles (160km). . . #wymtm #cyclist #cyclistlife #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #100km #centurysunday #brisbane #sunrise #gofarnotfast

Busy couple of weeks at work at the moment so seized the opportunity to get away from the indoor trainer and bank some solid road miles on the 29er.

Had planned on catching a nice sunrise over the ocean, but all I got were some moody storm clouds out to sea.

As always the @trekbikesau X-Caliber 9 is a joy to ride - looking forward to (hopefully) getting back out on the trails at the weekend.

Took the new stand-up paddle board out for a spin. Did not stand up.

Water was looking particularly good this morning when I was out on my ride so came back down with the family for a little beach time. Water was getting a bit choppy for a novice like me to keep their balance so opted to kneel/kayak on the board instead. Still great fun though.

Whilst the 5am start on a Saturday morning was not fun, it was great to get out to Bunyaville early this morning to beat the heat. . Could have happily stayed longer and rode further, but still easing back into my riding. . Question is - do I go out on my road bike tomorrow to get my km’s up for the week, or come back out on the mountain bike for the fun factor? #decisionsdecisions 🤔 . #summertimebikerides #mountainbike #minivan #singletrack #shred #mtblife #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree

With over 6km of riding on training wheels it’s no wonder today’s ride partner needed an ice-cream to recharge! 🍦

There was already a warm breeze blowing at 4:55am so today was set to be a scorcher 🌞. Just a short spin today before heading up the coast to spend some time at the beach with the kids. . . Stoked to catch a couple 🦘🦘 chilling at the side of the cycle path - it’s great living so close to wildlife (except snakes - snakes can do one). . . #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #wildlife #roos #kangaroo #australia #summertimebikerides #wymtm #longshadows #cyclingphotos #cyclingdad

Sunrise spin down to Tinchi Tamba Wetlands before it gets too hot. Quite eerie as hundreds of jellyfish silently drift by in the Pine River. 🌅 🚲 . . #wymtm #summertimebikerides #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #jellyfish
