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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This weekend Michelle and I headed up to Cumberland and Mt. Washington with some friends to help out at the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race. Probably not as cool as actually participating in the race, but still fun. We left Victoria on Friday night at [...]
Michelle and I headed out on our own today to find the Blue Collar Trail in Cumberland. While we were successful, there were a couple wrong turns along the way, but nothing major. Blue Collar seems pretty new, but it was fun none-the-less. And with [...]
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 [...]
It’s settled, at least in my mind it is… I’m a masochist. The reason is this… I like mountain biking, but for all of the last five years or so I have chosen to ride a hardtail cross-country bike contrary to what seems like a [...]
After some tinkering this week with the disk brakes on my mountain bike I figured I would go for a ride to see if I had managed to correct the problem, namely some noticeable rear brake rubbing under load. It was minor, but on my [...]
I was thinking it on the weekend and lo and behold today was my first mountain bike ride of the year. I really like riding off road and thankfully, like snowboarding, the basic skills don’t seem to disappear even after some time off. Basic skills [...]
XC = cross-country mountain biking if you are wondering. DH = downhill mountain biking, which you are unlikely to see in this blog since my move to Victoria from Kelowna some number of years ago has effectively removed that portion of my brain responsible for [...]
