I like...

...unexpectedly finding new bike shops! This little beauty is tucked away in Adelaide's Ebenezer Place, a stone's throw from the yummy Chocolate Bean cafe. Sam, Em and Rusty the shop dog have just opened this store called Treadly, full of shiny dutch-style bikes, fast fixies and parts to tinker with.

Go and say hello. Immediately.

back on the boards...

...and loving it! It's the second time I've made a track 'comeback', and once again I'm wondering why I stopped in the interim. (Besides work/life/work/work/life etc etc).

My legs may not be as fast as I'd like them to be, but it all came back really quickly - that is, all the keep-pedalling, hold-the-line, don't-slide-down-the-track business.

It's loads of fun and such a buzz.

There's some other ladies who are racing as well, it's all super encouraging. Saturday women's-only training sessions have been a great thing as well!

If you're in Adelaide, have a look here. Maybe even come and try!
