Day 2 of our Lake Cowichan excursion… tasty blueberry pancakes in the morning followed by some more sailing. Gurbir and I were doing pretty well with just the two of us on the boat, but things weren’t quite so smooth with Michelle and Sheena on [...]
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 [...]
Had a good time up at Lake Cowichan this past weekend. Michelle and I headed out from Victoria at the less than early hour of about 11am on Saturday and arrived at the lake less than two hours later. We took bikes and I did [...]
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 [...]
Michelle and I were up in the Courtenay Comox area this weekend and decided to make a quick drive into Comox this morning before we left. Why? Just because. Our 20 minute tour revealed that Comox looks like a nice little town, as much as [...]
Michelle and I closed out the weekend with another great day in Cumberland. We started off the day with a fun, longish hike in the hills between Cumberland and Comox Lake. Lots of uphill and downhill on a variety of surfaces, with the occasional nice [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Sometimes going for a drive seems like a good idea. I guess maybe it’s like a mini vacation. A particular drive I had not done prior to this weekend was the Pacific Circle Route. Basically, Victoria, Jordan River, Port Renfrew, Lake Cowichan, Duncan, and back [...]
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 [...]
I did the longest hike I have ever done today. The total ended up being about 21km. I guess that’s sort of like a half marathon except way more hilly and rocky. East Sooke Park, as I have mentioned before is a really nice place [...]
I headed over to Whistler and Squamish for the day, with the main objective being to do some used bike shopping. I suppose this might seem like a long way to go from Victoria, but being over there is pretty cool and I took advantage [...]
