Whilst my profile states that I am a cyclist, in all honesty and can count on two hands the total number of times I’ve been out on two wheels in 2017. Usual excuses for not getting out on the road/trails - time, work, kids - but let’s face it, they just don’t cut it.
With less than 11 months until I hit 40, I need to work on getting a regular and sustainable exercise regime going - if not for my health then for my sanity!
Last night’s storms across Brisbane left the air nice and fresh this morning, so I figured no time like the present.
The trails were beautifully quiet out at Bunyaville State Forest this morning - which is just as well as it meant that there was nobody around to witness my physical shortcomings. Man, am I out of shape! Multiple stops to catch my breath, and at least one dry wretch. Still, it gives a good benchmark for improvement over the coming months, and it was still hella fun!
Awesome couple of days spent with the Assessment and Graduation Unit at @westernsydneyu - now on to my next destination... ✈️ #frequentflyer #qantas #westernsydneyuniversity #departures

Birthday be all like ⛺️
Can't fault the new @oztrailaustralia tent on it's maiden voyage - managed to put it up no problems whilst trying to wrangle two young excitable children #camping #campingtimefuntime
My wife bought me a case of 'Top 10 Tinnies' of craft beer from @craft_cartel_liquor for my birthday. Some great looking beverages here - loving that the the only non-Australian craft beer in there is my beloved Punk IPA from @brewdogofficial, all the way from Scotland.
Sidenote: isn't my wife awesome!

Today I will mostly be playing the entire Linkin Park back catalogue. Sad to hear the news of the passing of another great artist, way before his time - men aged 15-45 still posing more danger to themselves than anything or anyone else. 💔 RIP Chester Bennington

#tbt Bali sunset 🌅 #Bali #jimbaran #beach #sunset
Spending our last day in Bali chilling by the pool in our villa. Not really looking forward to the 10pm flight out tonight, but what can you do #poolside #pooltime #villalife #Bali #jamahalprivateresort
Tastebuds are still buzzing after last nights Chef's Tasting Meal at @cucaflavor - nine exquisitely different and delicious tasting dishes, accompanied by fantastic cocktails. Pictures simply do not do the craftsmanship of each dish justice. Whilst it's hard to pick a favourite, the BBQ Octopus is unforgettable - anyone that's ever tried it will know what I mean when I say the flavour and texture is mind blowing! Kudos to @tamsyno for researching and finding the place, but I fear we may have peaked too early with our dining on this holiday!
Not my usual cup of tea, but currently loving this beer and grapefruit concoction. Super refreshing - just the ticket for chilling next to the pool #Bintang #Radler #beer #grapefruit #bali #mustbegoodforyouithasfruitinit
Starbucks be everywhere #Starbucks #bali #jimbaran #frappacino
Yep, that'll do. First time in Bali. First proper holiday without kids. Doing it right! #bali #privatevilla #privatepool #thatroofthough #thatbath #jamahalprivateresort #awyiss
