Even with the challenges that last year presented, my Strava stats for 2020 were still a little meh. . Despite starting off this lap around the sun pretty banged up from stacking it on the mountain bike over the Christmas break, I’m itching to get back out and start making my 2021 end of year stats much more respectable. . #day1 #strava #cyclist #cyclistlife #stravacycling
With a load of good sessions at Bunya under my belt I decided to mix things up a little and break out the 29er hardtail. Whilst the steeper head tube angle, shorter travel and lack of suspension in the rear made some of the descents a little more butt-clenching, I definitely appreciated the larger wheels and better power transfer through the clip-ins on the climbs (even if I didn’t have as much traction with the XC tires at times). I even managed the climb out of Bunker Road (officially called ‘I Hate This One’!) without having to get off and push - which is definitely a first! Such fun - reckon I’ll be riding 50/50 on the 29er and full-suspension rig moving forward. . #mountainbike #mountainbiking #mountainbiker #cyclist #cyclistlife #wymtm #fromwhereiride #outsideisfree #worklessridemore #strava #stravacycling #singletrack #xcmtb

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

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

Gentle 30k ride to break in some new tyres before heading up the coast tomorrow for the @noosaclassic. By all accounts it’s going to be a damp one! Really happy with the @pirelli P-Zero Velo tyres as recommended by @pedalheadscycles #cycling #cyclist #cyclistlife #strava #fromwhereiride #pzerovelo

Feeling hella sick after eating some dodgy chicken yesterday, but brainstorming a physical challenge for the middle of next year. It’s going to involve cycling. Lots of cycling.
Currently looking for worthwhile Australia-/Queensland-based causes to raise money and awareness for (check out the link in my bio) - all suggestions welcome.
Doing the #brisbanetogoldcoastcyclechallenge today? I'm right there with ya #b2gc15 #cycling #strava #stravacycling
Not a bad little ride this morning #strava #garmin #mtb #justkeeppedalling
