Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC

It’s Sunday, the end of the weekend has arrived. I got in some decent mileage this week on the bike (about 280km), saw some interesting sights, and managed do some other stuff too. Since this is a road bike ride post I suppose it would make sense to mention that I did a Victoria – Central Saanich loop of about 60km today. It was pretty relaxed in terms of pace given my lengthy-for-me ride yesterday, but as most rides go it was good.

GPS Data: 64km – 2h17m – 28.0km/h – GPS route

This stretch of Martindale Road is kind of a standard feature of most Saanich Peninsula road rides. Lately I think it's been contributing to my allergy symptoms :(

Seems like about half of the rides I've been on lately have included a deer sighting. Finally, I managed to get a picture of one. Maybe sometime I'll get a shot of something more exotic like a sasquatch.

Post-ride trip to Clover Point to watch some wind waves and other looky-loos.
