Every year in December I tell myself I’m not going to do it, but then every time it gets close to December 24th I think to myself “yeah, why not give it a crack!” Riding 500km in the eight days from Christmas Eve to New Years Eve always seems to be a great way to…

2022 Resolution Ride #12 – Solo spin plus my first puncture on tubeless
Sunday is usually the SunDaze bunch ride, but this week it was to be solo as the usual SunDaze riders were off having a Christmas brunch ride in Hobart. Just little old me venturing out early on a cloudy, but otherwise warm and still Sunday morning. At the last minute I decided to wheel the time trial bike out.

2022 Resolution Ride #11 – The Devil’s in the Details
With all that’s been going on in November this one almost got away from me! My mileage this month has taken a bit of a knock, but that’s all good.

2022 Resolution Ride #10 – First long ride on the meds

2022 Resolution Ride #09 – Dancing on the pedals
Ever have one of those days where everything just clicks? Where you’re simply dancing on the pedals and floating across the tarmac? It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, you just know. My ride did not start that way, in fact it started early when the temperature was barely nudging 5 degrees. I couldn’t…
