Bit annoyed with being totally misquoting on Page 46 of today’s Express Advocate in a writeup on the Bumble Hill Burn that was held last weekend. In his writeup, Errol Smith says that I compare the Bumble Hill Burn poorly next to the City 2 Surf. I quote his article “compared to Sydney’s City 2 Surf, the Bumble Hill Burn was ‘for wussygirls’.” [...]

Bumble Hill Burn
I have now decided that the City 2 Surf’s ‘Heartbreak Hill’ is for wussygirls! After doing the inaugural Bumble Hill Burn today I can attest that this cool new event is all hill, all heartbreak! A local community event on the Central Coast raising money for the little locality of Yarramalong, the very first Bumble [...]
Wagga to Albury Ride
When Joanne and I were still living on the NSW/Vic border, I was a fair bit fatter than I am now, and only had an entry level 26″ hardtail mountain bike. Today, I have lost a lot of weight, gained a lot of fitness and now have an actual road bike, but I am still [...]
As Long As No-one Hears You Scream…
Okay, so in my webdesign and internet marketing work I help two businesses that are next door to each other at Berkeley Vale: one being a Central Coast gymnastics centre called Kimnastix, the other being a very classy Central Coast brothel called Sweets. Don’t judge me, they are both legal, legitimate businesses that provide a service to [...]
Tough Bloke Challenge
Bugger! Still sick! Have to bail.
Race Number Bibs
Okay, so I’m not that hardcore and I haven’t done every race under the sun, but what I do like doing after an event is hanging my race number bibs up in the garage. Recently, I’ve started thinking of taking them to a framing shop like Framing Memories and having them placed into individual little [...]
Winter Training
I had one of my best ideas ever whilst out riding today. The weather has taken a downward turn, temperature-wise, over the past few weeks, and whilst out training late in the afternoon I was struck by how chilly one can start getting at this time of year out on the bike. I looked down [...]
Swimming Out Of My Comfort Zone
I cannot remember the last time I was in a pool. For me, it’s open-water swimming or nothing. I do surf patrols and think nothing of doing a point-to-point swim across a bay or lake. I am pretty comfortable out there, and very rarely think about the dangers of open water. However, yesterday I did [...]
Race or Writer?
After several years of missing out on the Anaconda Forster Adventure Race due to club commitments I was really looking forward to heading up and having a go now that I’m clubless and free. Admittedly, after the Bay Adventure showed me just how awesome I am not I had pulled back from two days to [...]
Gym Hygeine
Okay, so I’m not the biggest fan of gyms. I’d much rather be out and about cycling, swimming, running, skating, paddling or just walking with my furry kids. But if I ever do venture into a gym, it’s good to know that there are hygiene products out there that can be used to wipe down [...]
