Yes, I've completed different challenges over the past couple of years, but this year's Tour will definitely push me beyond my comfort zone. In the past couple of years I've completed several half ironman triathlons and run the Sydney marathon (as well as about 10 half marathons). Physical endurance events…

So far in the past 5 days I’ve ridden 240k. Strength and fitness feeling great – and am actually enjoying the 4.15am wakeup (yes, call me crazy). Considering the weather over the past week – this is a pretty awesome … Continue reading →
You wouldn’t believe it. There we were riding up the hill out of Taronga Zoo at 5.45am this morning. About 6 of us in a line, and this fur ball runs across the road and starts doing summersaults right in … Continue reading →

I’m getting up early and will knock out a couple of hills prior to meeting for coffee at 5.45. Rain for the past couple of days has been painful.
Today was a ridiculous ride, if you can call it that….! There I was standing outside my house at 5.20am waiting for Peakey – who was typically running a couple of minutes late. It wasn’t raining, just overcast. I thought … Continue reading →
