Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Esquimalt – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Esquimalt – Victoria, BC

January 2, 2010:

Cool! Another road ride today. I still feel like a slug — slow and slimy. Maybe slimy is a bit inappropriate, but I did manage to get pretty sweaty today; I might have been a bit overdressed. Whatever, it wasn’t raining while I was out [...]

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Soggy

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Soggy

January 1, 2010:

Here we go, 2010 has arrived. Since I wasn’t battling a hangover this morning (note: this never happens to me anyway), I headed out on the road bike. I suppose this could have been one of those “best of the 00′s” blog posts that you [...]

Road Bike Ride – Victoria, BC – Sidney Roundtrip

Road Bike Ride – Victoria, BC – Sidney Roundtrip

December 28, 2009:

Pedal power! If you read my last post you might recall my complaining about finding some strength to get out and do something more useful than watching the tube. Not only did I get out and do something useful today, but I also managed to [...]

Road Bike Ride – Victoria, BC – Snot and Cold Weather

Road Bike Ride – Victoria, BC – Snot and Cold Weather

December 19, 2009:

I went out for a road bike ride today fully aware that it had been a rather long time since my last outing, not forever or anything, but over a month. My winter bike has been ready to go for a while now, but I’ve [...]

Back to Life, Back to Reality

Back to Life, Back to Reality

November 15, 2009:

A week ago today Michelle and I were getting ready to fly back to Victoria at the tail-end of our 2009 Europe trip. I’m not sure why I bother saying “2009 Europe trip”, wishful thinking, I guess, that we will be back there in 2010. [...]

Last Bike Ride in Girona

Last Bike Ride in Girona

November 5, 2009:

Today was the last of our three days with the bike rentals. We’ll be hiking for the remainder of our days here in Girona. Thankfully, the sun was out again this morning, which made it easier for me to justify going out for a bike [...]

Journey to the Edge of the Med

Journey to the Edge of the Med

November 4, 2009:

A slightly less impressive day today in terms of weather, but we didn’t let that stop us from venturing out on the bikes towards Sant Feliu de Guixols on the Mediterranean. Getting to Sant Feliu de Guixols is pretty straightforward if you’re driving, and according [...]

Rolling in Girona

Rolling in Girona

November 3, 2009:

Where oh where has my Internet gone? Our current accommodation doesn’t have Internet access, and while it is not a necessity, it’s my opinion that it can certainly be useful while on vacation (weather, restaurants, bike rental information, bike/hike route planning, etc.) I think I [...]

Bye Bye Amsterdam

Bye Bye Amsterdam

October 30, 2009:

Today was our last day here in Amsterdam. The week has gone by as all weeks seem to go: quickly. I think all of us feel like our time here has been well-spent, I know for sure that I do. Before I get too far [...]

Gear: Navigating on Our 2009 Europe Trip

October 30, 2009:

It’s our last day in Amsterdam and I thought I would throw together a quick equipment/gear posting. I really have not done much traveling in my adult life, so I am far from being an expert on navigation while in foreign places. For our 2009 [...]

Lost in the Barrens

Lost in the Barrens

October 29, 2009:

More university for Michelle and Lisa today and another bike ride for me. I’ll cut to the chase, I had another great bike ride, this one being the most ambitious of the three I have done here in the Netherlands. I left the abode at [...]

A Normal Fall Day in Amsterdam?

A Normal Fall Day in Amsterdam?

October 28, 2009:

I’m not sure, but I think we may have lucked out with the weather over the last couple days here in Amsterdam. Today especially, was sunny almost all day with almost no wind. Not the sort of weather I was expecting prior to our arrival. [...]
