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 [...]

Wednesday Hike – Goldstream Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Goldstream Park – Victoria, BC

September 14, 2011:

Wow, it’s practically Fall. Wow, the daylight is getting shorter. Wow, how many more times might I use the word ‘wow’? This week’s Wednesday outing was a nice sort of meandering around Goldstream Park near Victoria. For an after work hike, Goldstream is a little [...]

Wednesday Hike – Swan Lake / Christmas Hill – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Swan Lake / Christmas Hill – Victoria, BC

September 7, 2011:

Pretty sure I saw some mosquitoes hatching tonight at Swan Lake. They may have also instantly become full grown mosquitoes, or maybe that’s how the mosquito life cycle works… more research I could do if I felt more inclined to do so. Aside from the [...]

Wednesday Hike – Macaulay Point – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Macaulay Point – Victoria, BC

August 31, 2011:

You never know for sure what you’ll see on a hike. Tonight’s hike was at Macaulay Point, a place I have been to only once before. The highlight of the hike was definitely seeing an orca very close to shore. It didn’t do any TV [...]

Wednesday Hike – Partridge Hills – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Partridge Hills – Victoria, BC

August 24, 2011:

Somewhat hot, somewhat humid, but all in all an excellent night for some sort of activity. Since it’s Wednesday, it’s hike night and the destination was once again the Partridge Hills out near Durrance Lake. As with previous outings we started from the Durrance Lake [...]

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 [...]

Standup Paddle Outing on the Gorge in Victoria

Standup Paddle Outing on the Gorge in Victoria

August 20, 2011:

5pm choices: A) sit around at home probably wasting time on the interwebs; B) go for a bike ride; or C) go standup paddle boarding. Choice C it was. For me this was a bit of an unknown since I had never done option C [...]

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

August 17, 2011:

Not that long ago we did a Wednesday hike at Royal Roads University, on the exact same route we did tonight. When it’s good, why not repeat it? It’s late summer in Victoria, so things are looking pretty brown around town, but not in the [...]

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 [...]

Wednesday Hike – Willows Beach / Cattle Point / Uplands Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Willows Beach / Cattle Point / Uplands Park – Victoria, BC

August 10, 2011:

Very nice Wednesday hike in Oak Bay tonight with a surprising variety of wildlife (crows, seal, seagulls, engaged couple, etc.). We started in Estevan Village and headed toward Willows, then it was off to Cattle Point, and finally Uplands Park. There was some great sailboat [...]

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 [...]
