What else has been happening?

Well as token manager I was a pretty good follower. To explain I was asked if I would assist by managing a cycling team for Bike Hub. The team was had Robbie McEwen as it's main ride which was cool as I knew Robbie from years ago at the Australian Institute of Sport. Back when we were all kids working to get into our early teams. So as token manager I worked out toward the end that I could assist in some area's and had a huge amount of learning to do in other area's. The fact is I was a fish out of water and yet I loved being involved. Christian Ryan, Matt Long and I started a bike store with Bike Hub just over 8 months ago and this was an opportunity to promote the Bike Hub brand and also our store. I love my riding but the criterium racing is a whole different world to what I do for training so I was fascinated. This image book is what I have put together from the photography took who we got to come along. It is a mix our rides from a stores team and the guys who I assisted in the pro race.

New Challenges

What the new challenge that I am passionate about?

Fight for our environment, coastline and better, smarter and true decisions about our future both in Australia and the World.

Check out the link for the Age article.

Desal fight touch of gold

This is not about stopping anything it is about making sure the decisions that are made are true to the idea of a sustainable future. From a personal perspective I understand how quickly we can damage things and once done, how long things take to improve and get back. Obviously a back injury is different to environmental damage but in principle it is very similar. One week of damage for me has meant to this point some 18 weeks of recovery and I am no where near right. Compare this to decisions that impact the environment like projects like this will cost us for generations.

Hope your all well and the Christmas and New Year have brought you some joy and that our future is improved, respected and that we continue to make better decisions.
