Im really excited as today I got my new bike, A Cannondale Carbon Six 5. Went for a ride and she flies !! Made me remember the old days when one of my mates and I used to go around the sports car dealers and try to get the salesman to give us a drive. One day we conned a salesman to let us take out a Porshe 911. It …Read more
Finished off my 44km ride today with a trip up Mount Gravatt. Bad Bad move !! My legs are like jelly now and I think that they will be for the rest of the day. I have decided that anything with Mount in its name shouldn’t have a road up it and you definitely shouldn’t be able to ride up it. I can see a few more hills in my …Read more

Today she made me …Read more
It was a bit bleak outside this morning for a ride. Rob piked it again because it was sprinkling with rain again. I didnt mind though its nice and cool when its like this and being wet doesnt bother me. Had a good ride this morning, I caught up with a girl on a mountain bike that was setting a good pace. She was taking lots of short cuts though, …Read more
When your training every day you dont know how good a sleep-in is !! Even after only a week or two it feels good to stay in bed. I still woke up about 5am and when I rolled over I could see the rain coming down so I said Yay and rolled over and went back to sleep. Looking forward to a game of tennis tonight.
Had a great Game of Golf this morning (Sunday), there were showers hanging around but we didnt get too wet. Played a two ball, we got 80 off the stick. Rode from Golf at Redland Bay to my mothers sisters house which is about 30 km. The showers didnt hold off when I was riding though. Got wet through. Oh well at least it wasnt cold !
This morning was a great day for a ride. The cool weather is really a lot better than the hot humid weather. Today I was riding with the two Scotts. Both hadnt done much riding lately so it was good to have not too much pace on after the first week of riding every day. I rode from Kuraby to Scotts place and then onto the city along the Freeway …Read more
