I am 57 and have been riding regularly for about 10 years. I started by training for the Otway Classic in 2008 and that was my first big ride.

Since then I have gradually increased my riding. Regularly travelling to our accommodation -Kilnhouses- at the foot of Mt Buffalo, means lots of hill riding.

Mt Buffalo is a regular training ride and Hotham and Falls Creek are extras in the summer!

In fact Buffalo was my first Peak!

Bike riding holidays now motivate me to keep training and riding. Having Liz Leorke (bike coach) set monthly training schedules keeps me (and Jim) on track to ride the big peaks in Australia and beyond…

Favourite off the bike experiences:  Coffee at Cherry Walk in Bright or Rail Trail cafe in Porepunkah and then back to the window seat at any one of our 3 Kilnhouses in Porepunkah!
