Adding contact details to your Garmin start-up screen

Here’s a handy trick I picked up over at One More Kilometre that lets you add your contact details to the start-up screen of your Garmin Edge device. I’ve seen this information floating around a few times over the years, but hadn’t taken much notice. My Garmin hardly goes out of sight, pretty much from…

The last day of Summer

We’ve all noticed it. That gradual transition. The evenings are getting ever so slightly darker, the winds are picking up, and that early morning chill lingering in the air may even have you reaching for a gilet. Summer is sliding away and the first signs of an impending Autumn are creeping in. Today, the 28th…

Heart Health in Endurance Athletes: Five months of Statins

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.

That does mean it wasn’t the most interesting or eventful of rides. The focus was simply on riding with…

Charging towards Spring

Here we are, half way through the last month of Winter! In around two weeks it’ll officially turn to Spring in the Southern Hemisphere. The mornings and evenings are certainly getting that little bit lighter with each passing week. We’ve even had a couple of glorious Spring-like days already. After a bit of a “training…
