Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

June 22, 2010:

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 [...]

Father’s Day Hike and Bike

Father’s Day Hike and Bike

June 20, 2010:

Happy belated Father’s Day! Belated as in, most of the day is done as I’m writing this. I suppose I could regurgitate some Father’s Day Wikipedia information, but I’ll keep it real and blab about my Father’s Day activities with Michelle. Due to some geographical [...]

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

June 16, 2010:

The Wednesday hike this week was an outing at Francis King Park. After some recent urban-oriented hikes it was nice to get back to some forest action and all the trappings associated with the non-urban action (dirt, rock, ferns, creeks, slugs, deer, etc.) Hmmm, next [...]

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC

June 13, 2010:

It’s Sunday, the end of the weekend has arrived. I got in some decent mileage this week on the bike (about 280km), saw some interesting sights, and managed do some other stuff too. Since this is a road bike ride post I suppose it would [...]

Road Bike Ride – Victoria – Salt Spring Island Loop – Half of 300

Road Bike Ride – Victoria – Salt Spring Island Loop – Half of 300

June 12, 2010:

Half of 300 is… 150. Today I rode a 150km loop that included part of Salt Spring Island. My usual response to questions like ‘how was it’ often tends towards the ‘it was alright’ or ‘it was adequate’; I feel fairly justified in saying that [...]

Wednesday Hike – Inner Harbour – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Inner Harbour – Victoria, BC

June 9, 2010:

This week my Wednesday hike excursion involved a short loop of Victoria’s inner harbour. The weather wasn’t the greatest, which may have contributed to some initial hike apathy, but we headed out anyway. To start we headed along the south side of the inner harbour [...]

Road Bike Ride – Cowichan Bay From Victoria – Fizzle, Sputter, Fizzle

Road Bike Ride – Cowichan Bay From Victoria – Fizzle, Sputter, Fizzle

June 5, 2010:

It’s hard to type sound effects… on today’s round-trip ride from Victoria to the vicinity of Cowichan Bay I observed a notable fizzling out of my pedaling powers… insert ‘air escaping from balloon’ noise here. Unfortunately, the fizzling came around the halfway mark of the [...]

Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Rithet’s Bog – Victoria, BC

June 2, 2010:

It’s been almost a year since I took the plunge and committed to doing/organizing a hike every Wednesday night. Given what I would describe as a short attention span and sometimes fleeting interest in things, I’m kind of proud that, with the exception of maybe [...]

Hike – Mt. Finlayson – Victoria, BC – and Some Bike Race Spectating

Hike – Mt. Finlayson – Victoria, BC – and Some Bike Race Spectating

May 30, 2010:

Another weekend has come and gone… I guess that’s what they do. Shockingly, I did not ride a bike this weekend, yet I don’t feel particularly guilty about it. I did do some work today, at a cost of 40 in-my-mind lashings. A hike at [...]

Wednesday Hike – UVic / Henderson Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – UVic / Henderson Park – Victoria, BC

May 26, 2010:

Summer is coming right? Apparently it’s hot elsewhere in the country; I guess maybe it’s a balance thing, i.e. it needs to be cool here if it’s hot somewhere else. Oh well, enough moaning about the weather – hiking is good in pretty much anything. [...]
