Some Wednesday hikes are different than others. For example, there was the one where an owl almost took our heads off — feathery bastard. Tonight’s excursion to John Dean Park didn’t involve any wildlife encounters, but did take some effort to do since it’s a [...]
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 [...]
Back in May I did a mountain bike ride that included some of the Partridge Hills near Durrance Lake and thought to myself: “I should do a hike here.” Apparently, it takes me about a month to act on thoughts I have while bike riding [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
