Road Ride – Lower Saanich – If There Is Such a Thing as Lower Saanich

Road Ride – Lower Saanich – If There Is Such a Thing as Lower Saanich

December 17, 2011:

Wow it’s been a while without any blogging, exercise, photos, or other cool stuff. These last couple months of house hunting, research, and buying have been a bit of a drag. That’s not to say I didn’t appreciate the challenge that came with various fixit [...]

Lake Cowichan Get-Away – Day 1

Lake Cowichan Get-Away – Day 1

September 4, 2011:

Michelle and I headed up to Lake Cowichan again this weekend with Sheena and Gurbir. Day 1 started out with a bike ride near the town of Lake Cowichan. Actually it was a loop that started and ended in Lake Cowichan and included a decent [...]

Bike Ride – Thetis Island, BC

Bike Ride – Thetis Island, BC

August 21, 2011:

Sunday mini road trip to Thetis Island was fun. The day started out at the crack of dawn with a drive from Victoria out to Lake Cowichan to pick up Michelle… she was on an African lion safari or something (Zoodles jingle?). After that it [...]

Bike Ride – Lochside Trail to Blenkinsop Lake – Victoria, BC

Bike Ride – Lochside Trail to Blenkinsop Lake – Victoria, BC

August 16, 2011:

Went out for a relaxing evening bike ride up the Lochside Trail here in Victoria with Sheena tonight. We made it as far as Blenkinsop Lake before turning around due to fading light. Bike and foot traffic was pretty light on the trail tonight, not [...]

XC Ride – Cumberland, BC

XC Ride – Cumberland, BC

August 13, 2011:

Left Victoria at about 7:30pm yesterday to head up to Cumberland for a weekend of mountain bike riding and other stuff. Thankful to have not had to do any evasive maneuvers to avoid deer on the highway. Somewhat sad to report that there was evidence [...]

Road Ride – Hurricane Ridge – Port Angeles, WA

Road Ride – Hurricane Ridge – Port Angeles, WA

August 9, 2011:

Took a midweek vacation day and headed over to do the Hurricane Ridge ride with Michelle and Alison. I was expecting some pain, since it’s a 30km long climb with over 5,000ft of elevation gain, but also because I don’t have a whole lot of [...]

XC Ride – Hartland – Victoria, BC

XC Ride – Hartland – Victoria, BC

August 6, 2011:

Apparently a fancy new bike is not enough to make up for a neglected bike engine, and by that I mean me. To put it bluntly the trails at Hartland have successfully destroyed me on my last three rides out there. Prior to that (this [...]

Bike Ride – Cowichan Valley Trail – Duncan, BC

Bike Ride – Cowichan Valley Trail – Duncan, BC

June 18, 2011:

I think I brought rubberized death from above to more than one or two slugs today. Alison, Michelle, and I did kind of an out and back ride on the Cowichan Valley Trail today the poor, slimy bastards are sometimes difficult to spot as they [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

March 26, 2011:

This afternoon turned out pretty well… good for a road bike ride, which ended up being my first Saanich Peninsula loop of the year. Today also marked the first ride of the year wearing shorts instead of the usual winter stuff. While this may seem [...]

Mountain Bike Ride – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

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 [...]

Road Bike Ride – Lochside Trail – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Lochside Trail – Victoria, BC

January 22, 2011:

I went out for a nice ride today with Michelle, Alison, and Catherine on the Lochside Trail. I had been looking forward to checking out the famous Lochside Trail pigs again and I was not disappointed. As usual it was good to be out on [...]

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 [...]
