Today I rode 100km in a ride to promote cycling awareness and sharing the road. It was for the Amy Gillett Foundation! Amy was a cyclist who was killed on a training ride in Germany. She was from Adelaide. Her family set up the foundation to help the other riders hurt in the accident rehab, promote cycling education in schools and to promote ( Read more... ) -
May angels lead you in
My Pop passed away this morning. He's been sick for a long time, on and off my whole life. I remember growing up many trips to the hospital to say our last goodbyes to him! Everytime he would fight back, I was almost convinced that the old bugger would live forever.
Despite it being a long time coming, it's still a shock when it finally happens. At ( Read more... ) -

Sail away
Well the kayaking trip tools turn and we are stranded on Hook Island! We navigated 6ft swells for 2 hours yesterday which is fucking scary in kayaks! 3 capsized but all got back in and we made it to land! The good people at Hook Island Wilderness Resort have taken us in and given us hot showers. We are hoping for the wind to die down so we can ( Read more... ) -
The simple life
I am in my hotel room at the beautiful Matrinique Resort Airlie Beach and as of tomorrow I will be kayaking around the Whitsundays and camping on remote beaches for the next week! No phones ringing no Facebook beeping, just me and the other people in our group and nature and wildlife and simplicity! I cannot wait to get out in the crystal blue ( Read more... ) -
Motivation

learning to fly
I have been learning a lot about myself mentally and physically since i set my sights on a marathon. I have also learned that people will try and bring you down more so than they will try and lift you up. I have learned that's because people dont want to have to feel bad about not challenging themselves so rather than lift themselves its easier to ( Read more... ) -

So this morning my housemate knocked on my bedroom door and asked to come in. She had in her hand a beautiful plant with pretty pink flowers and a card with my name on it. When i opened it i burst in to tears. Happy tears of course because getting flowers is a good thing. This beautiful and thoughtful gift to cheer me up because of all my injuries ( Read more... ) -
Happy Invasion Day
Lamb and snags on the barbie, Triple J's Hottest 100, Cricket, beer and mates, fuck it's good to be an Aussie. Let's try and celebrate what this day is really about and not make it about who is more Aussie. Just because you drape an Aussie flag around your shoulders one day a year does not give you the right to declare such hatred to other races ( Read more... )
