There has been some discussion in the household about doing some longer one-day hikes this year… Albert Edward and Juan de Fuca most notably. With that in mind, Michelle and I have decided that we will need to do some preparation since both of the [...]
Did a nice, slightly longer than average Wednesday hike at Mt. Tolmie, UVic, and Mystic Vale tonight. I think I mentioned it last time… there are no rabbits left at UVic… very weird. Thanks to some expert guidance (thanks Corinne and Gracee) we ended up [...]
Tonight’s hike location… Francis King Park. I kind of thought it was going to rain, but aside from some barely noticeable drops here and there it was fine. Let’s see, there was some sweet trail, there was skunk cabbage, there was slippery rock, there was [...]
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 [...]
Mud needs love too you know. I say this because I have observed first-hand some notable dislike for the soupy brown stuff over the years. Maybe soupy and brown are mud’s main problem… what if it was soupy and pink and smelled like cotton candy, [...]
I have ridden my road bike on Prospect Lake Road quite a few times over the last few years, and on more than a few of those occasions I found myself thinking “where does that trail go” as I rode past the south end of [...]
More daylight has arrived this week in the form of our Spring time change… PDT rocks. Also this week my four week hibernation from Wednesday hiking has come to an end with a spicy variation on the standard Cedar Hill Golf Course loop. I guess [...]
Ahhh, it felt good today to get out for a hike. While I was out and about yesterday in downtown Vic I found myself thinking that it was looking a bit brown around town, kind of like how places look in the more wintry parts [...]
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 [...]
We headed out to Colwood today for a short hike at Mill Hill. For the first part of the drive / crawl out to Colwood there were thoughts of Goldstream or Mt. Wells, but then I remembered as we passed Thetis Lake that I had [...]
I think I read a headline in a newspaper today that read something like Spring is in the air. I guess I would sort of agree. The last few days have had that combination of sensory inputs that, for me anyway, evoke thoughts of Spring. [...]
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 [...]
