I wrote this story in a mood during summer. The heat, the crowds, the emotional stuff that happens when we feel caged & then autumn comes along & changes everything.
So happy to be published with Underbelly Press. Here it is.

That sleep was good, but I’d have appreciated a little more time than three swigs of tea and 1.5 paragraphs. The pushups still happened though, nonnegotiable.

Turns out the best lines come not during the cortisol angst of dawn, but the final hours of a windswept Sunday when you’ve not had to talk and spent hours in blissful silence.

Gravel tyres aren’t invincible, some cats love you without knowing your name and that 21% climb you did in 2024 just got a minute faster.
Great ride.

Off out on the bikes, don’t know quite where we’re going or what time we’ll be back. The lights are charged, the cakes and Haribo are packed, phones will be off and Coros will do the rest. The best feeling.

For the first time this week the morning isn’t spinning. Kudos to the Epley manoeuvre.

When you go for an eye test together and they split you up in opposite ends of the corridor like misbehaving teenagers.

Gratitude for all of the amazing outdoor rides we’ve had over this break. Fully expected to spend most of it on Zwift but we’ve been out almost every day hitting PRs and reclaiming our long lost local legends.
Rested and ready for routine to resume. It’s been a good one.
