A fat dad cyclist

A collection of musings from a cycling obsessed father & husband with a serious food & drink addiction...

I'd forgotten just how nice the @littlebangbrewing IPA is...very necessary on a night with 3 pukey boys!

[mikaelliddy]

Seriously, there are some times where I think @rogueales are literally brewing specifically for me...IPA blended with cold brew coffee, yes please! #craftbeer #beeroclock (at Fresh Home Loans)

I'll be honest, the 3.30am was not a welcome sound, but when the subsequent ride can be categorised under J.F.M. (Just Fucking Magical since you asked), it's more than worth it. #cycling #adelaidehills #outsideisfree #wymtm #fromwhereiride (at Summertown, South Australia)

I'll have to take their word for it... #coffeelyf #caffeineedoping (at Coffylosophy)

Take a favourite brewery, add a favourite winery, and #craftbeer amazingness happens. @piratelifebeer + @tomfoolerywines Cerveza Negra, just bloody brilliant. (at Collinswood)

Is it good? Does a bear f*ck on a surfboard? #craftbeer #beeroclock

White bartape & views like this... #whyiride #outsideisfree #cycling #wymtm #adelaidehills #notshit (at Forest Range, South Australia, Australia)

Sometimes #cycling is for smashing yourself, other times you just kick in the clutch & drink in the magnificence of the #adelaidehills at sunrise... #nofilter #notshit #lightbro #sunrisedoping #outsideisfree (at Mt Lofty Summit)

The GT themed growler labels continue ahead of #lavuelta starting this weekend. #craftbeer #beeroclock

Miguel Indurain at the 1996 Olympic Games where he won the men’s individual time trial. The Atlanta Olympics was the first time that professional cyclists were able to compete in the games. Thanks to Numerius’ Flickr stream for the image. Watch out for men’s and women’s event today.

Big Mig, first cycling idol (name might have had something to do with it)

How do you slide another addition to the #capsnothats collection past the financial controller without complaint? Combine it with a kilo of Colombia's finest (dark) powder. #coffeelyf #cycling #rule22 #caffeinedoping (at Red Berry Espresso Coffee Roastery)

[mikaelliddy]

Sometimes a nice shot comes at a price, in this case trying to get clipped in & going again on a 12%+ gradient...good thing @globalcyclingnetwork's @realstephens wasn't there! #cycling #outsideisfree #wymtm #adelaidecycling #adelaidehills (at Ironbank, South Australia)

[mikaelliddy]

Winter #cycling solutions, ninja style! #wymtm #outsideisfreezing #adelaidecycling #buffstuff

[mikaelliddy]

Pasty with sauce, chocolate donut & the official @manualforspeed #tdu recovery drink. It's a post ride refuel, St Peters style...that may point to why I'm currently #toofattoclimb! #cycling #adelaidecycling #outsideisfree (at St Peters Bakehouse & Coffee Shop)

[mikaelliddy]

Upside to being as unfit as I am at the moment is you get to spend more time drinking in scenery like this in the #adelaidehills! Midweek #prohours #cycling for the win! #outsideisfree #adelaidecycling #toofattoclimb (at Burdett's Waratah Cottage)

[mikaelliddy]

Last one... #craftbeer #beeroclock (at A Better place now)

[mikaelliddy]

Talk about tailored service, the @seafaring_fool swapped to the appropriate headwear to serve my post ride coffee! #capsnothats #cycling #adelaidecycling #caffeinedoping (at Seafaring Fool)
