2020, What a year. Nothing represents the ups and downs of the year like my Strava account. I was plodding along, slugging it in the gym. After signing onto Tesseract a few months earlier, racing (and doing well) in a few CL1 track races, I was on track to get a start at one of…
Winter is over and the Australian shops have put up their Christmas decorations. This can only mean one thing, 50 days until the Sydney Christmas Carnivals!!! But unlike Christmas, have no fear. The Christmas carnivals are smack dab in the middle of the track season. And a perfect launch pad for perfecting speed before the…
This injury sucks. It happened at a bad time, actually it happened just before one of the most exciting times for me to be on a bike. In a moment, everything I had worked for was gone. I was on the side of the road, dripping blood, and my season was over. At this point,…
I’m 99 days post surgery. And for anyone asking, no I’m not better, I’m not racing till April, and ish for being allowed to ride my bike. It’s hard because I look fine. My scars are even disappearing. But internally I have no idea if the magic tendon ferries are busy healing, or if they…

*I wrote this post about a month ago when I was in a low point. cycling, family, work. it was a perfect storm of me sitting on my couch stressing about life. I’m normally a fairly chilled person, so this level of stress really threw me. I’m still working through stuff, but life is back…
Ok, It’s Friday, well not really. It’s Thursday and I’m down in Melbourne tomorrow for Training (Track Torque) and catchin’ up with my Victorian Sprinting Peeps. Therefore no work tomorrow and today is now Friday <—- you’r welcome! So instead of editing and making all pretty, here is a ride report directly from my brain in…
Base training that is. It’s that time of year. Racing is over for a few months, a new calendar is made and goals are assessed. Right now I’m in a base period. But it’s not the same base I’m used to. Instead of hours on the bike doing countless k’s, I’m sweating it out in…
