Road Bike Ride – Sidney and Back – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Sidney and Back – Victoria, BC

March 27, 2010:

I don’t get it. For the last month and a half I have basically been a slack-ass with my bike riding, and yet the last two rides have been faster than any earlier in the year. For me this is highly illogical, given that I [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – A Figure-Eight of Sorts

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – A Figure-Eight of Sorts

March 20, 2010:

Sucking is not riding my bikes enough. Today was a 90km excursion on the Saanich Peninsula. I suppose anyone who looks a this blog might be thinking, “oh god another Saanich road ride posting.” Well too bad, it’s my friggin blog I’ll do what I [...]

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Groundhog Shadows

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Groundhog Shadows

March 6, 2010:

It’s the first weekend in March, 2010 and I believe numerous groundhogs (people actually) came out of their holes and saw their shadows for the first time today. Apparently many of the groundhogs felt it was wise and perhaps safer to enjoy their shadows in [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula / Langford – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula / Langford – Victoria, BC

February 20, 2010:

What an awesome day for 100km of rolling around on a bike. Sunny and warm after a bit of a cool morning. After some night road rides earlier in the week on my somewhat beastly winter bike, it felt great to be out in the [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Backwards Is Good

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Backwards Is Good

January 23, 2010:

I tend to get bored of doing some things over and over again. In a way this contradicts the fundamental notion of training for let’s say cycling since you kind of have to have a routine down. Within the realm of bike riding though, depending [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

January 22, 2010:

It’s Friday, hence it’s time for my weekend warrior activities to commence. This week has been a little bit busy with other things in life so not much running or anything else for that matter, but in true weekend warrior fashion I will try and [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Downtown – Victoria, BC – Rotting Pumpkins

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Downtown – Victoria, BC – Rotting Pumpkins

January 17, 2010:

Well what do you know, another Saanich road bike ride today. I check the weather forecasts pretty frequently before rides to try and get a sense of that I might be in for in terms of rain and wind. I tend not to put too [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Not Too Saucy

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC – Not Too Saucy

January 16, 2010:

I’m getting into my 2010 bike riding with a different mindset than in the the past few years. The most significant difference is the fact that I am now done my most recent round of education, which was a major impediment to a consistent season [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Downtown – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Downtown – Victoria, BC

January 10, 2010:

I’m not overly set on sticking to a day-by-day plan, but I think I told myself not to long ago that I would try and get out on a bike at least three days a week in the coming months. In saying this I’m really [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Saanich Peninsula – Victoria, BC

January 9, 2010:

I seem to recall days like today when I was riding more regularly — character building days. Maybe not character building, but rather tolerance building in terms of my comfort level with rain, headwinds, etc. I was hoping today wouldn’t be this sort of ride, [...]

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Esquimalt – Victoria, BC

Road Bike Ride – Saanich / Esquimalt – Victoria, BC

January 2, 2010:

Cool! Another road ride today. I still feel like a slug — slow and slimy. Maybe slimy is a bit inappropriate, but I did manage to get pretty sweaty today; I might have been a bit overdressed. Whatever, it wasn’t raining while I was out [...]

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Soggy

Road Bike Ride – Central Saanich – Victoria, BC – Soggy

January 1, 2010:

Here we go, 2010 has arrived. Since I wasn’t battling a hangover this morning (note: this never happens to me anyway), I headed out on the road bike. I suppose this could have been one of those “best of the 00′s” blog posts that you [...]
