Mountain Bike Ride – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

Mountain Bike Ride – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

February 20, 2011:

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 [...]

Ski Trip to Sun Peaks

Ski Trip to Sun Peaks

January 29, 2011:

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 [...]

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC

December 26, 2010:

Day two for me on the ski hill today. Michelle and I spent the day, or most of it up at Mt. Washington, which currently has a crapload of snow (claimed snowbase of 520cm as of today). Base is good, but fresh is better and [...]

Telemark Ski – Mt. Washington, BC – Good Turns, Slight Gong Show

December 19, 2010:

I did a road trip to Mt. Washington today for some skiing. It could have been snowboarding, but I felt like getting back on the telemark skiing, something I haven’t done since xmas 2007. I ended up going solo and had quite a bit of [...]

Road Ride of Sorts – Trans Canada Trail – Duncan, BC

Road Ride of Sorts – Trans Canada Trail – Duncan, BC

November 13, 2010:

Headed out of town today to the thriving metropolis of Duncan for a pretty casual road / cross-bike ride. Road ride is probably not the best description since most of the ride was on the Trans Canada Trail; not impossible to ride a road bike [...]

Hikes and Stuff – Galiano Island, BC

Hikes and Stuff – Galiano Island, BC

October 24, 2010:

Into the great unknown was the plan for today. No, nothing like setting sail towards the horizon and the edge of the Earth, just a trip to Galiano Island; a place I had never been before today. Galiano is a long skinny island off the [...]

Hike – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

Hike – Mt. Tzouhalem – Duncan, BC

October 17, 2010:

A weekend of hiking it has been; about 20km in total. I figure this level of activity should not be abnormal, but lately I have been coming up a bit short. Both of the hikes this weekend were great, yesterday East Sooke and today Mt. [...]

Hike – Forbidden Plateau – Mt. Washington, BC

Hike – Forbidden Plateau – Mt. Washington, BC

September 26, 2010:

After a rainy Saturday, I wasn’t really expecting a clear sunny Sunday morning, but that is what we had at Mt. Washington today. At the tail end of our MOMAR weekend we had planned to do a hike, and thankfully the weather was cooperating, so [...]

MOMAR – Cumberland

MOMAR – Cumberland

September 25, 2010:

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 [...]

Hike – Mystic Beach

Hike – Mystic Beach

August 15, 2010:

Did a nice little out and back hike to Mystic Beach today with Michelle, Sheena, and Gurbir. I had never been to Mystic Beach before, but have had some hankerings lately to explore more of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, this was the first [...]

Hike – Hurricane Ridge / Marymere Falls – Port Angeles, WA

Hike – Hurricane Ridge / Marymere Falls – Port Angeles, WA

July 31, 2010:

Today was a bit of an epic hike day by my standards. I met up with Sheena and Gurbir at the Coho Ferry terminal this morning at 4:50am (yeah, that’s way too early). From there is was off to Port Angeles for the second weekend [...]

Road Bike Ride – Hurricane Ridge – Port Angeles, WA – Gigantic Hill

Road Bike Ride – Hurricane Ridge – Port Angeles, WA – Gigantic Hill

July 25, 2010:

To put it bluntly, the ride up to the top of Hurricane Ridge from Port Angeles is hard. You see, it’s just over 30km long from the ferry to the top, which is at about 5,200ft above sea level. It’s a big freakin hill. I’ll [...]
