📐 Life in Angles 📐

Why life in angles? Well, my spine has a lot of them, thanks to scoliosis. That X-ray you see? It’s a reminder that life’s curves don’t have to slow you down. The Cobb angle measures how severe scoliosis is, but I measure life by how I choose to move through it.

Yoga is my way of finding balance, keeping active, and working with these angles—not against them. 🧘‍♀️ It’s how I stay grounded while embracing the twists that make me, me.

Yoga isn’t just about flexibility—it’s what keeps me moving so I can keep doing what I love: cycling, running, and staying active. It helps me stay strong, balanced, and ready for whatever the road or the trail throws at me. 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

If you want to experience how yoga can complement your active lifestyle, come practice with me sometime! Let’s move together and find balance on and off the mat. 🙌

3:08:34 marathon PB. Still trying to wrap my head around that one! 🥹🏅

There was a point where I genuinely didn’t think I’d even make it to the start line, let alone run a time like this.

But here we are. 42.2km later, a new PB and a very happy heart. 💛

If there’s one thing this experience has reminded me, it’s just how much the people around you matter.

Surround yourself with people who lift you up, believe in what’s possible for you and are genuinely happy to see you succeed.

People who celebrate your wins as though they’re their own. Who remind you what you’re capable of when you’ve forgotten. Who make the hard things feel a little easier and the good moments even better.

Because sometimes we achieve things we never thought possible, simply because someone else helped us believe we could.

A huge thank you to @snapfitnessau for supporting me along the way.

And to my beautiful friend Tash. Thank you for believing in me, even when I didn’t quite believe in myself, and for being here to share this moment with me. It means more than you know.

A huge thank you to Niamh and Harry @maroubra.switch for helping get me to that start line when I wasn’t sure my body would cooperate.

Melbourne Marathon, you were pretty special. 🫶

3:08:34. Still smiling. Still can’t quite believe it.

If one bike had to go. Are you keeping your ROAD bike or your GRAVEL bike? 👀

And no, you can’t put road wheels on your gravel bike. That’s cheating 😂

I’m having a serious cycling identity crisis.

One minute I’m all about smooth tarmac, fast road bikes, beautiful climbs and coffee stops.

The next I’m hunting down gravel roads, getting covered in dust and making questionable route choices.

The cycling kit always matches though. Some things are non-negotiable.

Road cycling or gravel cycling? I refuse to choose. Both have my heart (and most of my disposable income).

So tell me, which bike are you saving? And I want to hear your reasoning! 👇

Both can be true

I want a good ride
I want good roads
I want a little adventure

And I would also absolutely add unnecessary kilometres because I know there’s a ridiculously good bike photo spot up ahead.

It’s not stopping for photos, It’s route research 📸🚲

And honestly, if the bike looks this good, it deserves a scenic background.

And man was this scenic, Dartmouth dam in High county Victoria was one of my all time favourite rides

Check out @ridehighcountry for more details or DM me

Turns out 20 seconds probably isn’t enough to explain why I love gravel 🤎🚲

Big kilometres, dusty roads, beautiful countryside, questionable line choices, plenty of laughs and the kind of people who make 130km feel like a very good idea.

Throw in carbs, cold drinks and a finish line worth riding for and honestly, what more do you need?

@wagga_gearsandbeers you were an absolute ripper.

If gravel has ever been on your maybe one day list, consider this your sign.

Save the date for next October.
Come get a little dusty with us. 🍻🚲

Gears and Beers 2026 ⚙️🍻

130km of getting dusty, eating carbs, laughing a lot and remembering that bikes really are the best way to spend a day.

Days like this are exactly why I love riding bikes. More adventures, more good people and more saying YES to the things that make life ridiculously good 💕

Somewhere between clipping in and coming home, everything gets a little quieter.

The overthinking. The things I can’t change. The things I’m still trying to make sense of. For a little while, none of it needs my attention.

There’s just the bike, the road, the people beside me, a ridiculous smile on my face and the feeling of being completely in the moment.

I think we all need more of whatever does that for us.

Whatever makes time disappear.
Whatever brings us back to ourselves.
Whatever makes us smile without trying.

For me, it looks a lot like this 🚲🌼

More of this, please.

I have a very specific idea of a good time… 😏

It involves 130km of gravel, questionable line choices, ruining some perfectly good kit and getting a very nice bike considerably less clean.

bikes, dirt, a whole lot of kilometres and beers waiting at the end 🍻🚲 @wagga_gearsandbeers

Some people like to keep their good kit clean.

I like to give it a story.

You know the ones.

Nothing particularly epic needs to happen. It’s just the right roads, the right weather, the right people and somehow everything feels ridiculously good 🚲✨

You get home tired, happy and already wishing you could do the whole thing again.

Then Monday comes and you’re still thinking about it.
Tuesday… still there.
By Wednesday you’re basically just waiting for the next ride. 😂

Maybe that’s one of the best things about riding bikes every now and then you get a day that gives you a little more than just a ride.

Send this to the people from a ride you’d happily replay all over again.
