I’m on a boat. Off to spend a week on the high seas on the @Carnival Spirit. 🛳 #onaboat #cruising #vacation #bonvoyage #sydney #circularquay
Passed this particular milestone yesterday 😳. Big shoutout to @tamsynjs for organising an epic party ❤️, everyone who took the time to come spend the evening with us, and all the staff at @eatonshillhotel for looking after us. 🎉 #thisis40 #birthday #birthdayboy
Time to see if these are as good as everyone claims (and if I’ll look as ridiculous wearing them) 🎧 #airpods #apple #wirelessheadphones
First proper outing for my new @trekbikes X-Caliber yesterday, taking in a stretch of the @brisbanevalley_railtrail - can’t wait to get back out there again 👌🏻 #cyclist #cyclistlife #mtb #mtblife #xcmtb #29er #bvrt #sundayfunday #weekendvibes #fromwhereiride #trekbikes #cycling
N + 1 Throwback to last Saturday when I picked up this XC weapon from @trekbicyclewoolloongabba. With all the excitement of the @noosaclassic last weekend, and then traveling interstate all week for work, I’ve not had a chance to enjoy my early birthday present - looking forward to getting some dirt all up in there! @trekbikes #trek #xcaliber9 #hardtail #hardtailmtb #29er #cycling #cyclist #cyclistlife #thatcolourtho #newbike #newbikefeels #happyfathersday
Noosa Classic 2018 - done ✅ 120km of hills, rain, thunderstorms and laughs. Great job @noosaclassic - count me in for 2019! #noosaclassic #cycling #cyclist #cyclistlife #sunshinecoast
Should be an interesting morning out riding the @noosaclassic today 😳⛈☔️🚲 #cycling #cyclistlife #damp #noosaclassic #sunshinecoast #sundayfunday
Gentle 30k ride to break in some new tyres before heading up the coast tomorrow for the @noosaclassic. By all accounts it’s going to be a damp one! Really happy with the @pirelli P-Zero Velo tyres as recommended by @pedalheadscycles #cycling #cyclist #cyclistlife #strava #fromwhereiride #pzerovelo
Giving this new sit stand desk a try today - hopefully it will help with back pains I’ve been getting recently #sitstand #sitstanddesk #homeoffice
Our golden retriever likes to sleep on the landing of our stairs, and every morning she is lying in some weird new contorted position, as if she had a terrible fall in the night. How is that even comfortable?

Woke up bright and early for the @pedalheadscycles shop ride. Feeling a little tight in the chest, so with my pericarditis flaring up last week post-Velothon I decided to go for a gentler solo ride out to Scarborough where I could focus on keeping my heart rate in a lower range, rather than keeping pace with the squad. Was rewarded with a beautiful crisp morning and fantastic views our over a still Moreton Bay. I even got to join the PedalHeads Inter 2 group for about 10 seconds as they passed me in Scarborough 😜

Great day out riding on the Sunshine Coast for the 2018 @velothonaus. Gutted that I had to drop my 3 day entry down to the 1 day 90km distance, but still stoked to have taken part. Such a great event - organisation was slick as. Will definitely be back next year to smash the full 3 day event - training starts tomorrow (or maybe Tuesday 😜) Side note: for some reason my Garmin managed to lose 1km over the course of the ride - my Apple Watch managed to get the whole 90km just fine though 🤔

Disappointed I’m not out riding the @brissietothebay this morning - my trip to (and subsequent stay in) hospital earlier in the week has revealed I have pericarditis and a pericardial effusion (Google it - I did), and I at the moment I can’t even climb a flight of stairs without getting short of breath.
Whilst I should make a full recovery, I’m a bit worried about how this is going to affect my participation in the three-day @velothonaus in just over a month’s time. Up until last weekend my training had been going well (if not a smidge behind schedule), and the Brissie to the Bay ride was meant to mark the start of my final month of preparation where I intended to ramp up my efforts.
Doctor’s reckon I ought to be feeling right after a couple weeks, and I’ve got an echo of my heart in just under a week to see how things are going, so hopefully I’ll have a better idea of where I stand then.
As for today though - still feeling pretty crap, and longing to get out on two wheels again.

When you go to the doctor feeling a bit under the weather, and end up being shipped off to hospital in an ambulance. 😳

Blue skies, gentle breeze and a schooner of @brouhahabrewery NZ Pale Ale - perfect conditions for the inaugural @brewdogchaingang Moreton Bay Chapter ride.
Not exactly a massive turnout, but not too shabby considering we’re essentially a regional chapter in a country with no @brewdogofficial bars (yet...). Already planning Ride #2, and how to raise a bit more awareness for it.

📢Calling all cycling 🚴🏼♂️ and craft beer 🍻 enthusiasts in the Moreton Bay/North Brisbane area! 📢 Tomorrow is the first ride of the Moreton Bay Chapter of the @brewdogchaingang - a fairly cruisey spin around the Redcliffe Peninsula/Hays Inlet, with a couple beers at the end. Details in bio - meet in Lawnton at around 12:15pm for a 12:30 departure. Everyone welcome - hope too see you there!

And so the @velothonaus training begins. 80km ride out along the bay with only a couple stops to refill the water bottle. Slow start as my legs were feeling heavy and tired, but soon got into the swing of things. Was going to go for 100km but ended up setting off a little later than originally planned - will have a bash at that next weekend.
11ish weeks to go until the start of the Velothon and heaps of work to do - bring it.

Pledging my allegiance to the Chain Gang 🚴🏼♂️🍻… Psyched to have gotten my @brewdogchaingang cycling jersey delivered this morning - and excited to be selected as a Ride Leader to get a North Brisbane/Moreton Bay Chapter up and running (or maybe just ‘Brisbane’ depending on who else out there is interested in organising some social rides). I’ve posted a tentative first ride for all you local Brisbanites/beer lovers to get involved with - checkout the the club page on @strava (link in bio). #cycling #cyclist #cyclistlife #brisbane #moretonbayregion #moretonbay #brewdog #brewdogchaingang #craftbeer #craftbeerlovers #socialcycling
