Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC

October 30, 2010:

Did a nice road ride today amidst the falling leaves and whatnot on the Saanich Peninsula. I was on my cyclocross bike (road bike with fatter tires) so I decided I would visit the somewhat famous Lochside Trail pigs. Generally, I don’t see these beasts [...]

Foo-licious

Foo-licious

October 27, 2010:

Headed to Foo after the hike tonight to get some food. Had the butter chicken, and was satisfied, but probably should have gone with something a bit more flavourful. No food porn photos for you, but instead a bottle of orange sugary goodness and a [...]

Wednesday Hike – Colquitz River / Panama Flats – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Colquitz River / Panama Flats – Victoria, BC

October 27, 2010:

Was hoping to see some salmon in Colquitz River tonight, but no such luck. As seen on TV only I guess. The trail along the Colquitz River / Creek is very close to Interurban Road, which means things are kind of noisy, but as far [...]

Hikes and Stuff – Galiano Island, BC

Hikes and Stuff – Galiano Island, BC

October 24, 2010:

Into the great unknown was the plan for today. No, nothing like setting sail towards the horizon and the edge of the Earth, just a trip to Galiano Island; a place I had never been before today. Galiano is a long skinny island off the [...]

Wednesday Hike – Doumac Park / Cordova Bay – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Doumac Park / Cordova Bay – Victoria, BC

October 20, 2010:

Doyyyyy… I forgot the GPS unit. Yeah, it’s not the end of the world, but I like to see the maps after our hikes. This week we went out to the Cordova Bay area. Starting from Mattick’s Farm, we headed up the hill past some [...]

Run – Clover Point – Victoria, BC

Run – Clover Point – Victoria, BC

October 19, 2010:

Did some running tonight. It hurt. It was good. It’s probably not the smartest to be doing only speed workouts without any notable base mileage, but that’s how I’m rolling at the moment. Tonight was my second Prairie Inn Harriers Tuesday speed work outing. Basically [...]

Hike – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

Hike – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

October 17, 2010:

A weekend of hiking it has been; about 20km in total. I figure this level of activity should not be abnormal, but lately I have been coming up a bit short. Both of the hikes this weekend were great, yesterday East Sooke and today Mt. [...]

Hike – East Sooke Park

Hike – East Sooke Park

October 16, 2010:

I figure East Sooke Park is one of the gems for hiking on the south end of Vancouver Island. It takes us a while to get out to it, being downtown Victoria dwellers, and considering some of the traffic challenges that sometime occur out near [...]

Wednesday Hike – Willows Beach / Cattle Point / Uplands Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Willows Beach / Cattle Point / Uplands Park – Victoria, BC

October 14, 2010:

Awww, poor bloggy-poo, I’ve been neglecting you haven’t I. This week’s Wednesday hike was another outing at Willows Beach, Cattle Point, and Uplands Park. The sky was clear, assorted beasts were swimming, trails were good… ahhh, this is the life. GPS Data: 4.2km – 0h59m [...]

Wednesday Hike – Camosun / Layritz Park / Viaduct Flats – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Camosun / Layritz Park / Viaduct Flats – Victoria, BC

October 6, 2010:

Fired up the headlight for the first time this fall / winter on our Wednesday night hike. A number of us met up to do a hike near the Camosun College Interurban campus. At this point in Greater Victoria’s evolution, the Camosun Interurban campus kind [...]

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

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

October 4, 2010:

Here it is almost a week after the last Wednesday night hike and I’m just now getting around to posting something about it. I bad. The destination for last week’s hike was Swan Lake and Christmas Hill; a couple nice spots surrounded by the city. [...]
