Weekends are almost always better than weekdays and that’s at least partly because a couple days are better than an evening for escaping to somewhere else. This weekend’s escape destination was Cumberland, near Courtenay and Comox. On the menu was some mountain biking (on some [...]
Did a nice little out and back hike to Mystic Beach today with Michelle, Sheena, and Gurbir. I had never been to Mystic Beach before, but have had some hankerings lately to explore more of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, this was the first [...]
Today was a bit of an epic hike day by my standards. I met up with Sheena and Gurbir at the Coho Ferry terminal this morning at 4:50am (yeah, that’s way too early). From there is was off to Port Angeles for the second weekend [...]
To put it bluntly, the ride up to the top of Hurricane Ridge from Port Angeles is hard. You see, it’s just over 30km long from the ferry to the top, which is at about 5,200ft above sea level. It’s a big freakin hill. I’ll [...]
This is part two of my Portland mini-vacation recap. As I mentioned in part one, we had a couple days in Portland after Vince and I finished the Seattle to Portland bike ride. Lots of walking around and eating, and I took some photos as [...]
After the finishing the Seattle to Portland road ride Michelle and I spent a couple days in Portland with Steph and Vince. Somewhat surprisingly, neither Vince, nor I, had any real physiological issues to deal with after the ride and consequently didn’t need spend our [...]
It’s been a little slow coming, but as promised here is part 2 of my Seattle to Portland bike ride report. Again, the ride was about 327km long and took Vince and I about 14h16m to do (11h05m of pedaling time). If you missed part [...]
My Seattle to Portland bike ride was successful, but holy crap I’m tired. As a result this will be a two part blog post. Sometime tomorrow I’ll post some commentary and pictures. For now a brief summary, map, and then I’m going to get unconscious [...]
It’s here. Well, it’s almost here. It’s the weekend of my gargantuan Seattle to Portland bike ride. There’s still a full day and a bit before things commence, but I’m already sucking back the fluids and watching what I eat. At least I’m trying to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
