Today was a bit of an epic hike day by my standards. I met up with Sheena and Gurbir at the Coho Ferry terminal this morning at 4:50am (yeah, that’s way too early). From there is was off to Port Angeles for the second weekend [...]
OMG, it’s almost August. OMG, I just said OMG. Ok, enough of that. It was Wednesday and we walked, this time at Mt. Wells. As usual with Mt. Wells outings, we started out from the Humpback Reservoir parking lot; no blackberries yet, much to the [...]
To put it bluntly, the ride up to the top of Hurricane Ridge from Port Angeles is hard. You see, it’s just over 30km long from the ferry to the top, which is at about 5,200ft above sea level. It’s a big freakin hill. I’ll [...]
It’s the weekend and I don’t work on the weekends, so what am I to do, but hike or bike ride. Today it was the former… a hike with Michelle, Corinne, and Sheena. We went out for an exploratory hike at Goldstream, at least it [...]
This week’s Wednesday hike didn’t come together until the last minute since Michelle and I didn’t get back from down south (Seattle/Portland) until Tuesday night. Consequently, I ended up choosing a pretty short route close to home at Cattle Point and Uplands Park. Despite the [...]
This is part two of my Portland mini-vacation recap. As I mentioned in part one, we had a couple days in Portland after Vince and I finished the Seattle to Portland bike ride. Lots of walking around and eating, and I took some photos as [...]
After the finishing the Seattle to Portland road ride Michelle and I spent a couple days in Portland with Steph and Vince. Somewhat surprisingly, neither Vince, nor I, had any real physiological issues to deal with after the ride and consequently didn’t need spend our [...]
It’s been a little slow coming, but as promised here is part 2 of my Seattle to Portland bike ride report. Again, the ride was about 327km long and took Vince and I about 14h16m to do (11h05m of pedaling time). If you missed part [...]
My Seattle to Portland bike ride was successful, but holy crap I’m tired. As a result this will be a two part blog post. Sometime tomorrow I’ll post some commentary and pictures. For now a brief summary, map, and then I’m going to get unconscious [...]
It’s here. Well, it’s almost here. It’s the weekend of my gargantuan Seattle to Portland bike ride. There’s still a full day and a bit before things commence, but I’m already sucking back the fluids and watching what I eat. At least I’m trying to [...]
Well it’s now looking and feeling like summer here in Victoria. Temperature is a fairly good indicator, but what I notice the most are the conditions on the trails. When you’re in the middle of summer or early fall, it’s pretty dry here, and the [...]
Some Wednesday hikes are different than others. For example, there was the one where an owl almost took our heads off — feathery bastard. Tonight’s excursion to John Dean Park didn’t involve any wildlife encounters, but did take some effort to do since it’s a [...]
