Aidan Buttigieg’s Buttery Treats

This week’s Top Up Tuesday has been recorded and filmed by none other than FulGaz’ resident Ride Video Engineer, Aidan Buttigieg.

Hailing from Melbourne, this 23 year-old is a classic hard man on the bike, racing at the highest domestic level in Australia for the National Road Series team, CycleHouse, where he is their resident puncheur.

While the local racing calendar has been very limited in 2020, he still managed to snag the sprint points jersey in the second oldest one day race in the world, the Melbourne to Warrnambool, a 262km (162 mile) in the south of Australia.

This week, he’s filmed a collection of fun and interesting rides from his hometown, Melbourne.

ALBERT PARK LAKE

A newly completed lap of the lake. Whether you're looking for a place to do intervals, or just for an easy roll, Albert Park Lake is an extremely utilised space for cyclists. With only one set of traffic lights to navigate, you're sure to get some quality riding in, all whilst being relatively close to the inner suburbs of Bayside.
