A Fair Dinkum trade off
Dom got the tow and the girls got the Chocolate Coated Banana's at the last FBR ride before Christmas.
Lucky for Kylie and Sharon that Dom works in a pretty cool place! (Belgium Delights) Thanks to Hard Coffee in Tedder Village for all the support and your new fit out has hit the bullseye with the cyclists

Make this your biggest year yet
Will 2019 be the same old same old, or will this be your step up year? Good planning works, but you need to rattle the dags and do a good empty out first.
Allow yourself to be a little unrealistic often, as this is a habit that will feed your dreams, and crystalise your vision and keeps the momentum on direction.

That's almost a wrap!
This cycling lark is bloody fantastic, the feeling of freedom and control, you can't beat it.
For me it's been a very steep and relentless climb in recent years, and I want to highlight the huge contribution that our Cycling Community has played. I have got up and over what is considered not possible, and the disciplines and camaraderie lessons from the cycling community has been significant.
Cycling builds us as individuals, it binds and galvanises amazing friendships and communities around us.
Cycling Liberates and lifts us.

Stuart O'Grady, Marcel and the rest of the crew gave me a dream come true time out, I never thought I would get to see the TDU ever again, let alone ride in the Adelaide hills and have exclusive Mummu access to Richie Porte, Darryl Impey, Peter Sagan - yes I shook hands with Mr Rock Star Sagan.
Also thanks heaps to Darren O'Grady, Matty Goss, and Emily Collins (Ex Wiggle) for looking after me on those very tough hill Climbs, you got me to the top of them all especially Willunga Hill . . . . WOW WOW WOW

My personal site (and story)

I will leave you with a something I learnt about myself in my battle with cancer.
"Do not be scared to Pursue Perfection, it opens up honesty and confronts your Potential. It delivers opportunity, it is scary and enlightening, sometimes at the same time. Yes Pursuing Perfection is risky, but in who's eyes does this risk and its reward belong? This is not a one off deal, this is an everyday thing - in fact an everything thing if you want to live a full life . . . . get out and take that next step toward your perfection and the one after that until momentum reaches out and embraces, lifting you up and beyond what you thought ever possible"
