It’s been a bit of a highlight-lowlight kind of few weeks. There’s been some absolutely stunning riding weather here, and I had a fantastic weekend away doing some work at Ironman Tasmania, but that’s all been overshadowed by the news of Jon’s death, and then his funeral.

Winter 2022 Roundup
The first of September. Winter is officially over! To be honest it’s been a pretty good winter here in Tasmania. It’s not like we get snowed in or suffer days on end of sub-zero temperatures.

Finally though, I got…
May 2022 Roundup: My lowest mileage month
Five months of 2022 down! How have you been keeping? May has been the lowest mileage month I’ve logged since mid 2020.
