Spring seems to be taking its time getting going this year, but since I’ve been lazy for the last few months I’ve hardly noticed. Tonight, evidence of Spring was in plain sight at Uplands Park where there was Camas everywhere and all sorts of other [...]
I headed over to Whistler and Squamish for the day, with the main objective being to do some used bike shopping. I suppose this might seem like a long way to go from Victoria, but being over there is pretty cool and I took advantage [...]
Aspen Extreme! Tonight’s hike at Mt. Doug involved a steeper climb to the top than our usual; nothing wrong with a bit more challenge than usual. The sky was pretty clear tonight so the views of the city and the mountains were pretty damn good. [...]
Today I joined the masses with a few of the Wednesday night hikers for the 2011 Times Colonist 10K. I have only ever done one running race sometime back in the nineties. Actually, it wasn’t even a running race, it was the run leg of [...]
Longish hike numero deux for Michelle and I today. Last week we did about 17km at Thetis Lake; this week we started at the north end of Mt. Work near Durrance Lake and headed south. The hike itself was good… big climb up to about [...]
Tonight was sort of a crap sandwich for weather. While we were actually hiking the weather was not far off of perfect, but I seem to recall it being crappy a couple hours before the hike, and it was definitely crappy afterward. By crappy I’m [...]
There has been some discussion in the household about doing some longer one-day hikes this year… Albert Edward and Juan de Fuca most notably. With that in mind, Michelle and I have decided that we will need to do some preparation since both of the [...]
Did a nice, slightly longer than average Wednesday hike at Mt. Tolmie, UVic, and Mystic Vale tonight. I think I mentioned it last time… there are no rabbits left at UVic… very weird. Thanks to some expert guidance (thanks Corinne and Gracee) we ended up [...]
Tonight’s hike location… Francis King Park. I kind of thought it was going to rain, but aside from some barely noticeable drops here and there it was fine. Let’s see, there was some sweet trail, there was skunk cabbage, there was slippery rock, there was [...]
Mud needs love too you know. I say this because I have observed first-hand some notable dislike for the soupy brown stuff over the years. Maybe soupy and brown are mud’s main problem… what if it was soupy and pink and smelled like cotton candy, [...]
I have ridden my road bike on Prospect Lake Road quite a few times over the last few years, and on more than a few of those occasions I found myself thinking “where does that trail go” as I rode past the south end of [...]
More daylight has arrived this week in the form of our Spring time change… PDT rocks. Also this week my four week hibernation from Wednesday hiking has come to an end with a spicy variation on the standard Cedar Hill Golf Course loop. I guess [...]
