An update of recent events in my life

Next month I'm riding in a 100km bike ride in Melbourne, and this week my lycra jersey arrived! It's the first time I've ever owned a lycra top (I bought my first lycra pants last month when I bought my bike), and I have to say it doesn't feel as bad on as I had … Read more

54 inches between my legs

Oh get your mind out of the gutter…I was talking about a bike! My new bike! I recently agreed to ride 100km at the end of October with a friend in Melbourne's “Around the Bay” bike ride. Because I'm in insane. As part of that, I figured I should maybe look at buying a bike, … Read more

Getting some fitness back

For the first two hours, I was greeted by my colleagues with the following comments: Wow, what's wrong with … Read more

Just when I thought I was better…

Seriously, I am so over being sick! Just when I thought it was all gone and it was just a bit of a cough remaining, I go and get worse. My nose is now running like mad, and for the last 10mins I have had my head over a steaming hot bowl of vicks and … Read more
