Well... I made it. It ended up being a 38km bike ride from my house to the ferry at Queenscliff. I gave myself 1:09 minutes and I made it in 1:08!! Phew 😅 I do enjoy the thrill of the chase but that was close !!! #nearlymissedit #ridelikeagirl #ferry
Last month I got to ride with @littlemsmtb at Anglesea. I’d never really met her other than on social media really. Had a ball!!! Now today I rode with @turboturtle_kym who has been in contact with me over social media too. And I had never met her either! So whilst social media does have its downfalls I continually find I meet some pretty awesome people as a result. You have still got to take the risk and make an investment in developing friendships! Thanks @turboturtle_kym for the ride. #ridelikeagirl #adidassporteyewear #fisthandwear
I’m back!! Beware “bitches!” #wattbombs #flurecovery #recoveryride #zwift

I’ve got my tastebuds back!!! The simple flavours of - frozen banana 🍌 - frozen coconut 🥥 - medjool dates - tahini - vegan vanilla protein powder - ice cubes - cinnamon To make this really basic smoothie. Ahhh so sweet and refreshing. Thank you tastebuds x #smoothie #plantbased #vegan
Cooking up a storm. It just goes to prove when you think you need to go shopping for food you can actually make so much out of what you have already. I don’t use recipes rather get inspired. I open up my fridge and often plonk all the veg on the bench to visualise the possibilities and it snowballs from there. Food for dayz.... #plantbased #vegan #cooking
A day off the tools means lots of love from #maxieboy
2:50pm and I’ve been out of bed twice. I’ve finally been hit by this cold. Whilst I could get out and about and “drug” up the keep in the game I’ve decided my best course of recovery is solid rest in bed. So I will have to start my cycling related fitness plan next week with Freddy fresh legs! Bonus.
Definitely a change in the seasons occurring. Both Norm and I are not getting out of bed until around 6am now. And Maxie boy even later! #winteriscoming #wintersolstice
Food is fuel. Food is medicine. Food connects the mind and body. It’s got to be good. It’s got to taste phenomenal. It’s got to serve a purpose. The only way I’m going to keep happy healthy and Reach my goals is to eat more mindfully. I cooked the potato and sweet potato whilst in shower post ride. Then quickly whipped up salad with beetroot carrot kale and spinach with a side of hummus. Then added some pan fried tofu marinated in tamari. Boom 💥 and that’s lunch! #mindfuleating #foodisfuel #foodismedicine #lunch #plantbased #vegan #veganathlete #plantbasedathlete
Wintery kms in the bank today. A minor glimpse of sun ☀️ but the great company of @kitchintiffany and @msdestructor meant the pace was on and Tuesday banter to be had. A quick regroup of the band with appearance from Bad Boy Bubby too. 80km on a wet Tuesday. Now for a hot bath!!! #fitnessbankdeposits #ridelikeagirl #adidassporteyewear #shimanoaustralia #schwalbeaustralia
The plan. I have no big races this year and I’m going to get a really awesome chance to focus on ME! I’ve not had a big chunk of time like this before to really work on a specific goal such as this. “Improve my Best Time up Benwerrin climb by improving my 20min FTP and in turn Watts/kg by losing 5kg and improving my off bike strength” This focus will inadvertently improve all other aspects of my cycling. Looking forward to sharing the inner workings to how I’m going to get there and the journey along the way! #training #focus #goals #selfimprovement
Spending time chilling with one of my favourite places to “chill at”. #youyangs
You Yangs!!! 🌞
1,2,3. Getting some oomph out of my land moving feet. Part of my small changes to improve my kick on the bike 🚲 #training #bikelife #strengthtraining
A beautiful afternoon spent with my #maxieboy at the You Yangs hiking the walking trails. It was too good an afternoon not to with the forecasted weather ready to rain lots!!! #hiking #youyangs #walking #mentalhealth #outdoors
Rock hopping with maxie boy @ The you Yang‘s
ALWAYS worth the effort. Made this for lunch today needing loads of goodness for mind and body. Shit loads of protein too 😜😱 Made a video that I’m uploading to my YouTube channel so you can see ingredients. (See bio) #veganfoodshare #plantbased #lunch #foodismedicine
After a big week of close to 600km on the bike and a 3 week build into that as well this human is feeling the effects. Sore throat and foggy head. Thanks to @flownutritionist for the heads up on a few additions when needing to get on top of immunity. Get gut back in order and boost my green smoothie with vitamin c. #foodismedicine #healwithfood #stayhealthy #recovery
