Mt Amos is a rocky peak that dominates the skyline from Coles Bay, so it really was overdue for me to get up and check it out. I woke up on the Sunday feeling a little worse for wear from yesterday’s triathlon (and probably a bit more worse for wear from the post-triathlon celebration- I mean recovery).

I really should come to Coles Bay more often, even when there isn’t a triathlon being run. It is such an amazing place. But since there was a triathlon this weekend, I had to come up. I had a fantastic time when I came up for this event last year and once again Coles Bay turned it on for an amazing weekend in 2017. Read Full Article |
I realised that the website was getting a little difficult to keep track of and people would have no way of keeping track of which new posts were recent. I will use this page to display links to any new articles from now on.
