25.01.2022 Thank you for one of the standout greatest and most peaceful, contented moments of my life... I was on a tour of NZ with a broken bike, sitting out the front of the Beaumont pub in NZ doing some repairs, drinking a beer in the sun, with Kenny on the radio. Somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even, and in his final words I found an ace that I could keep https://www.news.com.au///082ad63ae4ba765b2261a367707c5467
24.01.2022 Very quiet at Toogoolawah on the #brisbanevalleyrailtrail this morning #bikepacking #bombtrackbeyond #mtb #gravel
24.01.2022 No wonder my back hurts so much. Smashmouth were right - the years start comin' and they really don't stop comin'... #back #chiropractic #bikepacking #old #allstar #smashmouth #muscle #tension
23.01.2022 After months of excruciating hand and back pain on the bike, I have flipped my stem up to 'comfort' mode for the first time ever. Judging from the @bombtrackbicycleco decal I think this might actually be the factory setting. It feels mighty strange, but almost embarrassingly comfortable. Here's hoping it gets me back on the bike. #bikepacking #biketouring #bombtrackbeyond #mtb #injury #rheumatoidarthritis
22.01.2022 My eldest child's review of the diving tower = "when you're falling it feels like your tummy is going through a phase" #pool #diving #tower
21.01.2022 The ~20km of downhill between Benarkin and Linville on the #brisbanevalleyrailtrail must surely be on of the most enjoyable sections of riding anywhere in the world. Nothing quite like gliding along through the gravel at 30km/h for close to 40 minutes #bvrt #bikepacking #downhill #bombtrackbeyond
21.01.2022 My view for the morning on the #brisbanevalleyrailtrail #bikepacking #bombtrackbeyond #cycling #mtb #cx #trail #offroad #gravel
21.01.2022 Typical landscape on the Toogoolawah to Moore section of the #brisbanevalleyrailtrail #bikepacking #cycletouring #cyclinglife #mtb #bombtrackbeyond
20.01.2022 Shaving my head at a full school assembly at work as a fundraising thing for blood cancer. Some of you may know my mother got blood cancer when I was in year 5 and in the end she didn't make it. Anyway if you wish to donate and laugh at me looking like a Nordic warrior, here's the link... Worth clicking the link just to see my amazing profile picture. https://secure.leukaemiafoundation.org.au//FundraisingPage
20.01.2022 Time to stop for second breakfast. I'm early enough to grab one of the legendary chilli smokies from Blackbutt Bakery. It's my favourite food in the whole wide world #bikepacking #bvrt #brisbanevalleyrailtrail #blackbutt #breakfast #bombtrackbeyond
18.01.2022 This is something I've never seen before. Temporary footpath bikeway detour on #kedronbrookbikeway #cyclingbne #bikepath #slipperywhenwet #fun @ Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
17.01.2022 First bike mission in a little while. Turns out cake pops are still a thing... #cycling #cyclingbne #bikepacking #urbancycling
17.01.2022 It's been a very hectic three months, so it's been great to get away camping at Boreen Point Campground for a few days.
15.01.2022 New cycling business out on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail offering shuttles, hire, repairs, spares, nutrition, and all other cycle related things. Located at pretty much exactly the halfway point of the trail. These guys have really put their money where their mouth is in terms of making a statement about the future of the rail trail, so let's support them
15.01.2022 I've been taking the same medication for over ten years, I only just realised they can be configured thusly. Increases effectiveness by at least 200% I reckon #art #medicine #healing #rheumatoidarthritis #pain #immature
13.01.2022 New tyre day. Well not exactly new, they've been sitting in my shed for about a year, only just got around to dishing my wheels and putting them on #mtb #bikepacking #maxxis #ignitor #chunky #slow #offroad #mud
12.01.2022 Back from a few days of camping, kayaking, 4x4ing and related shenanigans at Storm King Dam / Somerville Valley. Absolutely recommended location #camping #outdoors #kayaking #dam #queensland #australia #granitebelt #4x4 @ Storm King Dam
10.01.2022 This time last week I was putting my #bombtrackbeyond to bed in a cabin at Yarraman at the end of the #brisbanevalleyrailtrail. I really do need to get up there more often #bikepacking #bikepacker #bombtrack #bunk #indoorcycling #bedtime #bvrt #queensland
10.01.2022 Good to see the youth of today still have an interest in the classics #bikepacking #art #bikeway #classic #wetcement #kedronbrookbikeway #straya
08.01.2022 Thanks to those who have donated to my 'Shave For a Cure' fundraising effort. Apparently the students are shaving my hair off in front of 700ish people on Friday morning. I'll post some hilariously bad photos in the day. In the meantime if you're still looking to donate, please click the link below...
08.01.2022 I'm off work sick for the second day in a row. I'm a bit over of sleeping so I fired up YouTube and found this absolute gem of a NZ bikepacking video. I've been to quite a few of these spots before, and this video really captures the essence of those places. I want to go back there again... https://youtu.be/xnWj-8ZSOms
08.01.2022 Post-rain hijinks down at the local singletrack. Finally getting some use out of my outrageously knobby tyres #mtb #singletrack #bombtrackbeyond #mud #cyclingbne
07.01.2022 The @dhbsport kids jersey has been handed down to #juniortourer, celebrating with blue #macarons for breakfast #cycling #bikepacking #bombtrackbeyond #cafe #coffeeride #sunday #autumn #cyclingbne
06.01.2022 I followed the pub sign, it led to the pub. Beer time #camping #queensland #australia #tooheysold #apollonian
06.01.2022 Memory from a lifetime ago...
06.01.2022 I am really getting into the spirit of the school Easter bonnet parade #easter #bonnet #chocolate #bald #work
05.01.2022 Tried to sneak out for hardcore #mtb ride at 0530, youngest child was waiting up for me, ready to intercept me to come along. Now we're just taking it pretty easy out on the bikeway, stopping for our billionth food break #bikepacking #familycycling #kedronbrookbikeway #cyclingbne #foodbreak #nutbar
05.01.2022 It's dry, windy and getting very hot. But man it's great to be back on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail #bikepacking #biketouring #bombtrackbeyond #bvrt
05.01.2022 That was one satisfying beer #bikepacking #killarney #beer #rainbow #storm #adventurecycling #flashback #2013 #oldendays #XXXX #queensland
05.01.2022 End of the line for this ride. Probably just as well, it's getting extremely warm #bikepacking #bombtrackbeyond #brisbanevalleyrailtrail #bvrt #hot #mtb #station
04.01.2022 I'm going to follow this and see where I end up... #camping #adventure #australia #trail #noosaeverglades #boreenpoint #sign
04.01.2022 Sunny Saturday morning ride to @shambhala_espresso, along with the expensive realisation that everyone is ready to go up a bike size. I'm thinking that #tinytourer is almost ready to step up to some kind of 650b @bombtrackbicycleco adventure bike #kedronbrookbikeway #familycycling #kidcycling #coffeeride #bikepacking
02.01.2022 Out for our traditional Saturday daddy-daughter coffee ride to @shambhala_espresso. In this photo #juniortourer is holding a cadence of about 120, while simultaneously telling me an assortment of facts about hummingbirds #cyclingbne #kidcycling #kids #coffeeride #bikepacking
02.01.2022 Tunnel life #bikepacking #mtb #tunnel #brisbanevalleyrailtrail #bvrt #selfie #cyclingselfie
02.01.2022 #kedronbrookbikeway dished up some light adventure this morning. Mud, floods, dirt and debris #bikepacking #cycling #adventurecycling #adventure #cyclingbne #flood #mud #kidcycling
02.01.2022 Every now and again I like to go back through my touring photos to re-imprint the memories in my head. This was possibly the worst I've ever felt on a bike, towards the end of a 140km ride in the rain and wind from Christchurch to Mt Somers, having been awake and on the go for about 40hrs beforehand. Horrible at the time, hilarious now that I look back on it #biketour #cycletouring #bikepackingnz #bikepacking #rakaiagorge #christchurch #nzcycletrails #nz #newzealand #type2fun #exhausted #flashback #2014
02.01.2022 I finally have the perfect accessory for my camper trailer #camping #caravan #australia #flag #outdoors #queensland #itsfiveoclocksomewhere
