Road Bike Ride – Sidney and Back – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Sidney and Back – Victoria, BC

March 27, 2010:

I don’t get it. For the last month and a half I have basically been a slack-ass with my bike riding, and yet the last two rides have been faster than any earlier in the year. For me this is highly illogical, given that I [...]

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

March 24, 2010:

Hot damn, says I with an attempt at a southern drawl. Why, you ask? No reason, I respond, other than the fact that the temperature for this week’s Wednesday night hike was noticeably warmer than in previous weeks. With mild trepidation, I suggested Francis King [...]

Ski/Snowboard – Mt. Washington, BC – Slushy >> Icy

Ski/Snowboard – Mt. Washington, BC – Slushy >> Icy

March 21, 2010:

Roller derby hangover … just kidding. To cap off a somewhat busy weekend of activity, Michelle, Shauna, and I headed out of town this morning at around 6am (uggghhh) to Mt. Washington Ski resort for a late-season slide. These types of excursions, as mentioned in [...]

Roller Derby: It’s Worth a Look

Roller Derby: It’s Worth a Look

March 20, 2010:

Can’t say I have much familiarity with roller derby beyond what popular culture has delivered over the last couple decades — not much, or maybe I haven’t been paying enough attention. It’s probably the latter. If the line-up to see Victoria’s Eves of Destruction vs. [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – A Figure-Eight of Sorts

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – A Figure-Eight of Sorts

March 20, 2010:

Sucking is not riding my bikes enough. Today was a 90km excursion on the Saanich Peninsula. I suppose anyone who looks a this blog might be thinking, “oh god another Saanich road ride posting.” Well too bad, it’s my friggin blog I’ll do what I [...]

Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

March 17, 2010:

Does anyone like springing forward with the time change? I don’t, but… admittedly it’s pretty cool to have a couple hours of daylight after work. As of today, Wednesday night hikes will be headlamp-free until the fall. Oh yeah, it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Being a [...]

Hike – St. Charles / Moss Street / Mt. Doug – Dog Sitting Weekend

Hike – St. Charles / Moss Street / Mt. Doug – Dog Sitting Weekend

March 14, 2010:

This weekend was a weekend of dog-sitting for me. The beast in question, who shall remain nameless, and I did some walking/hiking and some lounging around, nothing too exciting. This particular beast is now a senior citizen in terms of dog years, so she is [...]

Wednesday Hike – Cedar Hill Golf Course – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Cedar Hill Golf Course – Victoria, BC

March 10, 2010:

Short and sweet was the theme for this week’s Wednesday hike. This post will follow a similar tack. Cedar Hill Golf Course was the destination and if you haven’t been, it’s a relatively small golf course pretty much in downtown Victoria. At the south end [...]

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Groundhog Shadows

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Groundhog Shadows

March 6, 2010:

It’s the first weekend in March, 2010 and I believe numerous groundhogs (people actually) came out of their holes and saw their shadows for the first time today. Apparently many of the groundhogs felt it was wise and perhaps safer to enjoy their shadows in [...]

Wednesday Hike – Colquitz River / Cuthbert Holmes Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Colquitz River / Cuthbert Holmes Park – Victoria, BC

March 3, 2010:

Another Wednesday, another hike. I guess that makes it sound more chore-like than I intended. It’s no chore, it’s fun, it’s dark, it’s sometimes muddy, it’s all good. Since my first hike along the Colquitz River a couple months ago, I’ve been thinking that I [...]
