Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

December 30, 2009:

This week’s Wednesday Night Hike at Rithet’s Bog was the last of 2009. Before yesterday I had not ever done the Rithet’s Bog loop and as other new-to-me hikes tend to go, this one was pretty good. In case you’re a bit confused, since yesterday [...]

Road Bike Ride – Victoria, BC – Sidney Roundtrip

Road Bike Ride – Victoria, BC – Sidney Roundtrip

December 28, 2009:

Pedal power! If you read my last post you might recall my complaining about finding some strength to get out and do something more useful than watching the tube. Not only did I get out and do something useful today, but I also managed to [...]

Hike – UVic / Uplands / Willows Beach – Victoria, BC

December 27, 2009:

Another hike today. This time around the hood, namely UVic, Uplands, and Willows Beach. It has occurred to me lately that I have been doing a reasonable amount of hiking, but not much else aside from work and other stuff. With Spring around the corner [...]

Hike – Roche Cove / Matheson Lake – Sooke, BC – Xmas

December 25, 2009:

Tis the season for eating, visiting, and giving, among other things. I probably should say more about the festive season, but I’m feeling a bit drowsy right now. I guess it might be the feasting and the hiking today. On that note I’ll get straight [...]

Wednesday Hike – Tillicum / Colquitz River – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Tillicum / Colquitz River – Victoria, BC

December 23, 2009:

Wednesday hike night again. This time a few co-workers and I headed up the Colquitz River / Creek from Tillicum Mall. I suppose we could have started out with, or ended with, some burgers and beer from either Montana’s or Kelsey’s in the mall parking [...]

Road Bike Ride – Victoria, BC – Snot and Cold Weather

December 19, 2009:

I went out for a road bike ride today fully aware that it had been a rather long time since my last outing, not forever or anything, but over a month. My winter bike has been ready to go for a while now, but I’ve [...]

Wednesday Hike – Thetis Lake – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Thetis Lake – Victoria, BC

December 16, 2009:

You never know what might happen out in the real world, and tonight’s hike was a good example. Hmmm, this sounds a bit Forrest Gump’ish doesn’t it? Well, the hike tonight was lacking as far as the weather went (rain), but as usual we made [...]

Wednesday Hike – Swan Lake / Christmas Hill – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Swan Lake / Christmas Hill – Victoria, BC

December 9, 2009:

My Wednesday hike with co-workers this week had a few more people than in the previous couple weeks, despite the rather cool temperatures. While none of us were scantily-clad, some, including myself, could have used another layer of clothing. For some strange reason, the air [...]

Run for the Bacon – Victoria, BC – Elk / Beaver Lake

December 6, 2009:

Some weekends are just weekends, and others are more… more travel, more food, more everything. This weekend fell into the “more” category. In my previous post I mentioned an excursion to Burnaby Mountain; this was followed by a hurried Richmond (Greater Vancouver’s Chinese area) shopping [...]

Hike – Burnaby, BC – Burnaby Mountain

December 5, 2009:

Ermmm, cold and frosty today in BC. I might even go so far as to say, what the hell is going on. For undisclosed reasons I was over in Vancouver yesterday and today with my significant other. It has been good to see some of [...]
