Quote of the Week: "It’s not fun if it’s not dangerous!". Wise words from my 14 year old 👏

Fisken Road definitely fits the bill! 😆
Feel the adrenaline, embrace the thrill! Especially in the wet 🫠

How incredible are bikes?
They have this amazing power to lift our spirits and transform any negative mood into a positive one. The views we experience from the saddle are unmatched—each ride offers a unique perspective that only those who share the passion for biking can truly appreciate.

For us, biking isn't just a hobby; it's woven into our very identity. That's why riding buddies are so crucial—they're not just companions on the trail, but partners in sharing the thrill, joy, and adventures that come from living life to the fullest. It’s about being in the moment, not just watching life pass by.

Who’s your riding buddy?

Tag them below and let’s celebrate the connections we make on two wheels!

Tyres set for today’s terrain

Sag confirmed, rebound counted

Brakes bite, gears smooth, chain quiet

Body:
Quick mobility to wake up hips/ankles

Brain:
Visualize lines, breathe early
Commit to exits, not doubts

Goal today: stack clean stages > hero moments. Consistency over chaos, and don't die!

First crack at Otway Odssey 👌

Not the race I planned, but the race I needed. Blew up early on the first climb and had to fight for every kilometre. After a challenging week, crossing that line meant more than a PR.

Keep showing up, even when it’s hard.

Thanks to my amazing support crew - you guys rock!

As always thanks to for having my bike race ready!

Talk of the week in the gym: why do we do explosive work?

Power keeps you strong, capable, and riding well — now and as you age.

Most people think explosive training (jumps, sprints, fast lifts) is only for athletes. In reality, it’s one of the most powerful tools we have for:

Keeping bones strong

Protecting tendons and joints

Improving performance on the bike

Staying functional and “young” in everyday life

Explosive work isn’t about ego or max numbers. It’s about building resilience, protecting your body, and keeping you moving well for years to come.

Power doesn’t expire.

Ready to add explosive training to your routine?
Come see us in the gym and we’ll show you how to do it safely and effectively.

2nd place at State Crits Championships today 🥈

Honestly just grateful to have the health and legs to even line up with such strong riders.

The podium is cool, but what I’m most proud of is the work that went in when no one was watching – early mornings, brutal intervals, and the days where it would’ve been easier to skip it.

Still a lot to learn, still plenty to improve, but days like this remind me exactly why I love racing bikes.

Thanks to everyone who’s been in my corner – it really does make a difference.

Wildest race I’ve ever done at

Sprinting up six levels of a car park with the crowd going absolutely crazy – it was so loud I could barely hear myself breathe. Hands down the most fun event I’ve ever been in.

The vibe was unreal and I honestly can’t wait for next year. Massive thanks to for the lights – they looked sensational and lit the whole thing up!

Would you race this with me next year?

This month for me has been about awareness and learning.

To become a better coach and a better student, you need real awareness. Without it, you won’t grow or make any lasting changes.

Awareness is a skill you train, just like your body.

Awareness of where your attention goes.
Are you locked in… or lost in distraction?

Awareness of how you respond under pressure.
Do you tighten up, lash out, shut down… or breathe and adjust?

Awareness of the stories you tell yourself after mistakes or tough moments.
Do you beat yourself up… or choose a story that helps you grow?

This is the real work.
Not just stronger muscles, but a stronger mind.
Not just better performance, but better self-understanding.

As this first month of the New Year wraps up, ask yourself:
What have you become more aware of?
What have you learned about yourself?

Pay attention to where your mind goes today.
That’s the first rep.

Always learning. Always improving. Nobody is ever “done”.
