Headed out of town today to the thriving metropolis of Duncan for a pretty casual road / cross-bike ride. Road ride is probably not the best description since most of the ride was on the Trans Canada Trail; not impossible to ride a road bike [...]
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 [...]
This weekend Michelle and I headed up to Cumberland and Mt. Washington with some friends to help out at the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race. Probably not as cool as actually participating in the race, but still fun. We left Victoria on Friday night at [...]
Michelle and I headed out on our own today to find the Blue Collar Trail in Cumberland. While we were successful, there were a couple wrong turns along the way, but nothing major. Blue Collar seems pretty new, but it was fun none-the-less. And with [...]
Weekends are almost always better than weekdays and that’s at least partly because a couple days are better than an evening for escaping to somewhere else. This weekend’s escape destination was Cumberland, near Courtenay and Comox. On the menu was some mountain biking (on some [...]
By the title perhaps you are thinking this will be a feel good (for me) report about how I totally dominated on my East Sooke ride today. Unfortunately, no… East Sooke, as it often has in the past, totally dominated me. At least I didn’t [...]
It seems like I haven’t been doing much road riding lately. Maybe I’ve been feeling that since the Seattle to Portland ride has come and gone, my season has come to a close and its time to start putting on blubber for the winter. That [...]
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 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 almost time for commencement of the ridiculous – 320km in one day from Seattle to Portland. As July 17 approaches it’s becoming fairly obvious that there is not a whole lot more time for any meaningful training/preparation. Today Vince and I did what might [...]
With my new raisin toast hero status (bestowed upon me by Michelle – I have no idea what it means), I’ve been seeking out stupendous, no miraculous, no super-amazing things to do. Clearly, I had no choice but to ride my bike 90km on this [...]
