Cyclist's brilliant sledge for 'Brighton Karen' who complained she was 'bored' of walking the same streets in her affluent Melbourne suburb during lockdown

• Jodi Grollo went viral for complaining about the Melbourne lockdown last week 
• She said she was sick of walking the same routes and had covered all of Brighton 
• Premier Daniel Andrews said it's better to be 'bored than in intensive care'
• Cyclist Aaron Groot shared cycling route of Brighton called 'The Karen' on Strava

A cyclist rode almost 100km across an entire Melbourne suburb to sledge a woman who complained she was bored of walking the same streets of Brighton during coronavirus lockdown.

Jodi Grollo, dubbed 'Brighton Karen', went viral after she claimed to have trudged through all the streets of the affluent coastal suburb.   

'Well, you get sick of walking the same streets. You know, I've done all of Brighton,' she told Nine News while walking the city's Tan Track last week.

Aaron Groot, from Richmond in Melbourne, shared the two-hour and 59 minute ride 'The Karen' on exercise tracker Strava

A cyclist appeared to take Ms Grollo's comments to the test by completing a 97.1km bike ride of the suburb.

Aaron Groot, from Richmond, shared the two-hour and 59 minute ride on exercise tracker Strava, and cheekily named the route 'The Karen'. 

Over the weekend, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews slammed Melburnians who complained about the stay-at-home orders amid a second wave of COVID-19 infections. 

'I've got a very clear message to every single Victorian, particularly some of those featured on social media: whether you are in Broadmeadows or Brighton, stay at home means stay at home,' he said on Saturday.

'And if walking your local streets is boring, well, being bored is much better than being in intensive care. That's my clear message.'

Ms Grollo, the daughter of pokies baron Bruce Mathieson, said she was not bothered by Mr Andrews' rebuke, or the hundreds of angry comments online, and hadn't seen them anyway.

'I'm not on social media so I didn't see any [of the backlash]. To be honest, I found it funny – it made my weekend,' she told The Herald Sun.

'I'm providing people with some light entertainment to get them through the Dan-demic.'

Ms Grollo's father is one of the state's richest people, having an estimated $870 million fortune in 2019.

Her husband Gianni Grollo is also well-heeled, being related to construction and developer giants Bruno and Rino Grollo.
