A SMASHING few weeks!
What a great few weeks it’s been! I’ll start with the human-powered vehicle and what’s been up with that. So firstly, I absolutely killed it on the 14th of October, a bit like the name of one of my fave bands at the moment ‘A day to remember’ because it was on the bike! What I did was 80 minutes of the relatively flat freeway (The usual Angler’s training ground, where I normally train) and I was aiming for max speed for the entire 80… Well, I actually got 19.26km’s for 1 hour and 16 minutes because I had a few little pit stops! Either way, I am very happy, it was a good send-off for my trike to go in and get a few new mods.
The few areas it’ll need fixing is seat adjustment, now I slide down on my seat and I lean towards the left side so I’m actually basically sitting on my shoulder blade, I’ve been doing that since I got the trike so I’ve got an embedded bruised looking (it’s not bruised) long mark on my back. I thought it was about time I got that addressed…. But at least I now haveI an extra battle scar! I’m also getting the length of my pedals adjusted as my legs are actually of different lengths. As you can imagine, it’s my right leg that’s the short-arse…. Hopefully those two factors will take a bit of the load off my left knee and my right leg will get to do a bit more work, still you never know till you try so we will have to wait and see!
So how did the 4 points meeting go?
We addressed a few points that we need to cover and get ticked off.
We need to get a social media person/team who knows what they/we are doing, cause I'm stabbing in the dark, big time! I have learnt that consistency is key, that is for sure!
We also looked at the route planning and decided that we need a more detailed plan, e.g. using minor roads as opposed to freeways (I’d prefer freeways, less bumpy butt) but it’s for safety reasons obviously, so we are going to be getting a bit of help from the bicycle network in that department. I’ve also done the detailed route from Steep Point to Wilsons Prom up to Sydney (the first segment). We need to keep it so that I can keep you posted on where we are travelling and if there are any changes being made along the way. So that’ll be up online in the next week, so stay posted on that! (Thank god, it took a lot of time to do that!)
Also talked about the need for sponsors, so if you know of anyone with a business (or even privately) who might be able to assist - don’t hesitate to send them my way!! Or share the website details - the more people on board the merrier.
And lastly, yesterday I finished my second last block in Public Health at Uni! I got a HD in it so I’m really happy with that! In the translation session (group presentation) everyone liked my RAP song about stroke and sociology which was what the unit was about. If you want to check that out you can at
if that doesn’t work, this will.

So the feels and what’s up next, all rolled into one?
The feels or vibes I'm getting right now is I'm feeling accomplished, so i’m going to surf that all the way to shore even with the last unit! Four more weeks then i’m done! So that’s what the main focus will be, unilyf. I will also be doing a bit of personal training now that we are easing the restrictions. In terms of the four points there are two things that need to be lined up, A) zoom meeting with bicycle network and B) the route needs to be uploaded.
Well, I'm done, I tap out!
Until next time.
Adios
