So normalised. My wife busy pressing buttons sometimes and forgets to watch the road. And she cares about us.

Almost standard behaviour.

Nah- any Iโ€™m still functional after a few days of hobbling around. But painful to ride. Find out more on Friday

The AC pretty mild. I think the hammy still attached too. So thinking no to any of that thankfully!

If youโ€™ve ever wondered what occurs when a country is fatigued beyond all breaking points by endless culture warring and confected moral panicsโ€ฆ

โ€ฆlook at how easily Musk is illegally dismantling entire institutions with almost none of the blowback or explosive reaction that his actions warrant.

So may have ripped my hamstring from the bone and done my AC joint skateboarding as a 54 year old.

Wondering what my next stupidity is gonna look like?

Donโ€™t know how many bloody weeks I have done this for but I need to do my hard bits hard and the easy bits easy. Too much time in the middle power zones to get optimal adaptations.

12 mins for every hour of riding should be full gas. Just get that in my thick skull and get used to the very fact!

Some days you arenโ€™t feeling it; youโ€™re in pain, slept poorly, fatigued.

Some days you have to listen to your body.

Some days you just have to stick to your plan and get it done. If Iโ€™m a pro Iโ€™m just marching to the tune of my training plan. Do what they would do.

Surfing's risks have rarely been starker โ€” but some of us can't stay away ABC photojournalist and surfer Che Chorley spent much of 2024 researching and writing about sharks, and here reflects on the latest tragedy on South Australia's west coast.

Only a #surfer knows the feeling.

So true.

Decent crash on the ring road. I hope people are OK. The car is literally halved.

An inconvenient truth: a diet of beans, coffee and fruit the past 24 hrs had me ill prepared for yesterdayโ€™s performance review. I was shitting myself, literally.

Do not recommend.

'The comeback starts now' - Remco Evenepoel successfully undergoes surgery after 'scary' training collision Belgian provides update after tearing ligaments due to collarbone dislocation and fracturing rib, shoulder blade and hand

Really saddened to hear Remco suffered significant injuries which will impact him. Clavicle dislocation far less than ideal.

At a community engagement workshop on road management in my region this week, I came away thinking cyclists are at risk from failings in infrastructure. Two near misses this week make me think itโ€™s more related to poor and aggressive driving.

Cars are flying around with dramatic improvements in acceleration capabilities. These small increments are massive for more vulnerable road users.
