Its been years since I've done it - this morning I fell off my bicycle in front of lots of people at a set of traffic lights. Rather embarrassing actually. What happened is that I slowed down and did…Continue

I headed out today for a nice 140+ KM cycle. Took a little time, to get my engine fired up and didn't think that much of it - the winner bar seemed to help and I also had a few swigs from a bottle of…Continue

Cycling with Pegasus, Shaved my Legs, Climbed a 17% hill this week
Posted on November 28, 2010 at 18:23 6 Comments 0 Likes
Sitting here a week ago, I would of not of thought I'd have such an
exciting week of cycling. Its a week that will stay in my mind for a
while.
Thursday I had the fortune through 602nds.com to participate in the
Pegasus Training camp at Noosa Springs. Participated in the training
ride with the cycling pros - Garmin stats here (click Metric top right).
Great coffee as well at Noosa Heads.…

Couldn't cycle much in Adelaide with all that rain... Now I'm sunburnt ;(

After a couple of days of travel, leaving some time also for my knee to heal, I finally got to the Gold Coast for a cycle with Derek last wednesday. A couple of stops the previous days at Coffs Harbor and Byron Bay were also enjoyable
At the gold coast, we had a great cycle out to springbrock. On the return trip we descended some 17% gradient descents. Upon returning to Broadbeach we headed along the esplanade, stopped at Robbie McEwan's cafe for a latte and admired the wildlife. It… Continue

Checkers Hill - my first attempt
Posted on August 7, 2010 at 17:00 10 Comments 0 Likes
It was one of those cold Adelaide mornings where I just didn't want to get out of bed. Finally, I manned up and got out. I was going to go find Checkers Hill and climb it for the first time. Numerous cyclists are talking about it, as it is an obstacle of the next Tour Down Under Challenge Ride.
I found Checkers Hill Rd, with the help of my trusty iPhone and its GPS. I headed along, admiring the scenery, thinking this isn't going to be that hard. However, I had a niggling suspicion that… Continue

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that I'd worn out another rear tire. Its a habit I seem to have. Luckily I had a new tire ready and quickly replaced it. I thought I'd change the front as well (was looking rather cut up), as a few long rides were approaching, and it had been on since just after the 2010 Tour Down Under Challenge Ride.
I toke the front wheel off, was struggling a little and then it came free. I heard something bouncing on the floor. It was the front speed sensor. I'd… Continue
