It’s finally the last month of winter here in Tasmania! It’s been WAY too long between 100km rides for me. After last month’s metric century ride I actually fell ill (not COVID) throwing a spanner in my cycling works. While I recovered quickly enough, my endurance took a big hit and is still not 100%…

2021 Resolution Ride #07 – Late entry
This one almost got away from me! I’ve been a bit slack with the longer endurance rides this month, mainly because I’m just a little bit over the cold, damp mornings. Almost all of my metric century rides previously have been done and dusted well before lunch, but for July I didn’t leave the house…

With a morning of “acceptable” weather predicted, I bagged this month’s metric century resolution ride on the second day of…
The RBWR: A hump day hammer fest

The #Velo7173 Chain Gang: A powerhouse of PB performances
Following the success of the first #Velo7173 Chain Gang I was really looking forward to this week’s hit out.

2021 Resolution Ride #05 – Autumn Assault
As winter approaches, I like to knock my Metric Century Resolution Rides off early in the month. You never know what the weather will hold later on, so May’s 100km ride is already in the books. When you’re presented with calm and sunny Sunday in May you don’t ask for another opportunity! Most of my…
