Had a great Adventure ride on the weekend. Headed up into the Gold Coast’s Numinbah State Forest via one of my favourite road climbs -Springbrook. I was joined by Moto fitness Guru Steve Gall, he loves the technical descents and eats it up with his exceptional skills. Once we reached the turn off on Pine […]
Magnetic Island Adventureton should be called the ‘Sufferthon’ This was my feeling at the halfway point of the final run when goose bumps appeared all over my body-the bodies response to elevated core temperatures in an attempt to raise the skins surface area to cool down. The race started at 7am to a revised paddle […]

Here is another installment of the Uncle Tobys Ironman series final in Manly 1993. This event was significant for me as I had been 2nd in the series the previous two years to Trevor Hendy and on this day the points scenario was that I needed to win the event to gain enough points to […]
Uncle Tobys Race Manly 1993, I had to win this race in order to win my first ever Ironman series Title after placing 2nd two years in a row previously to Trevor Hendy. This was game on!
Well it was a tough ask from the beginning! Spending 6 months working in Namibia without a surf ski or a pool and only limited time for the odd MTB ride and run but as I write this the 2012 Mark Webber Challenge and Anaconda Adventure Race Lorne are behind me. The week between MWC […]
