Mountain Bike Ride – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

February 20, 2011:

Went up to Duncan today for a mountain bike ride at Mt. Tzouhalem. Aside from cool temperatures, it was a pretty good day for a ride. Actually, it was a great day for a ride. It seemed like others thought so too… the parking lot [...]

Ski Trip to Sun Peaks

Ski Trip to Sun Peaks

January 29, 2011:

Michelle and I headed up to Sun Peaks (north of Kamloops) with family and friends yesterday. The snow was falling as we arrived in the village on Friday night and had built up to somewhere between 5-10cm by this morning. We’re staying in a pretty [...]

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC – Feeling Worked

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC – Feeling Worked

December 27, 2010:

It comes as no surprise to me that my conditioning for telemark skiing, or for that matter any type of skiing is remarkably poor right now. It seems that I have been out of the game for too long, and these last two consecutive days [...]

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC

December 26, 2010:

Day two for me on the ski hill today. Michelle and I spent the day, or most of it up at Mt. Washington, which currently has a crapload of snow (claimed snowbase of 520cm as of today). Base is good, but fresh is better and [...]

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC – Good Turns, Slight Gong Show

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC – Good Turns, Slight Gong Show

December 19, 2010:

I did a road trip to Mt. Washington today for some skiing. It could have been snowboarding, but I felt like getting back on the telemark skiing, something I haven’t done since xmas 2007. I ended up going solo and had quite a bit of [...]

Road Ride of Sorts – Trans Canada Trail – Duncan, BC

Road Ride of Sorts – Trans Canada Trail – Duncan, BC

November 13, 2010:

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 [...]

Hikes and Stuff – Galiano Island, BC

Hikes and Stuff – Galiano Island, BC

October 24, 2010:

Into the great unknown was the plan for today. No, nothing like setting sail towards the horizon and the edge of the Earth, just a trip to Galiano Island; a place I had never been before today. Galiano is a long skinny island off the [...]

Hike – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

Hike – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

October 17, 2010:

A weekend of hiking it has been; about 20km in total. I figure this level of activity should not be abnormal, but lately I have been coming up a bit short. Both of the hikes this weekend were great, yesterday East Sooke and today Mt. [...]

Hike – Forbidden Plateau – Mt. Washington, BC

Hike – Forbidden Plateau – Mt. Washington, BC

September 26, 2010:

After a rainy Saturday, I wasn’t really expecting a clear sunny Sunday morning, but that is what we had at Mt. Washington today. At the tail end of our MOMAR weekend we had planned to do a hike, and thankfully the weather was cooperating, so [...]

MOMAR – Cumberland

MOMAR – Cumberland

September 25, 2010:

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 [...]

Mountain Bike Ride – Cumberland, BC – Blue Collar Etc.

Mountain Bike Ride – Cumberland, BC – Blue Collar Etc.

August 22, 2010:

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 [...]

Hike – Cumberland, BC – Feet Hurt, Am Tired

Hike – Cumberland, BC – Feet Hurt, Am Tired

August 21, 2010:

After a morning of delightful mountain bike riding on Cumberland trails followed by some re-fueling at the Waverly Pub/Bar, it was time for part two of our Saturday activities, namely a hike. It was a bit iffy for a while as there was some discussion [...]
