This is part two of my Portland mini-vacation recap. As I mentioned in part one, we had a couple days in Portland after Vince and I finished the Seattle to Portland bike ride. Lots of walking around and eating, and I took some photos as [...]
After the finishing the Seattle to Portland road ride Michelle and I spent a couple days in Portland with Steph and Vince. Somewhat surprisingly, neither Vince, nor I, had any real physiological issues to deal with after the ride and consequently didn’t need spend our [...]
It’s been a little slow coming, but as promised here is part 2 of my Seattle to Portland bike ride report. Again, the ride was about 327km long and took Vince and I about 14h16m to do (11h05m of pedaling time). If you missed part [...]
My Seattle to Portland bike ride was successful, but holy crap I’m tired. As a result this will be a two part blog post. Sometime tomorrow I’ll post some commentary and pictures. For now a brief summary, map, and then I’m going to get unconscious [...]
It’s almost time for commencement of the ridiculous – 320km in one day from Seattle to Portland. As July 17 approaches it’s becoming fairly obvious that there is not a whole lot more time for any meaningful training/preparation. Today Vince and I did what might [...]
It’s hard to type sound effects… on today’s round-trip ride from Victoria to the vicinity of Cowichan Bay I observed a notable fizzling out of my pedaling powers… insert ‘air escaping from balloon’ noise here. Unfortunately, the fizzling came around the halfway mark of the [...]
Vancouver… it’s so close, but so far away. I guess it’s not really that difficult for us islanders to get to the big V, but for whatever reason I tend not to go over that much. Maybe it’s my attachment to the UVic rabbits, or [...]
Roller derby hangover … just kidding. To cap off a somewhat busy weekend of activity, Michelle, Shauna, and I headed out of town this morning at around 6am (uggghhh) to Mt. Washington Ski resort for a late-season slide. These types of excursions, as mentioned in [...]
It’s been a damn long time since I’ve done anything on the snow. Ok, it hasn’t been been forever, but two years is a long time to me. Add to that some pretty sporadic snow excursions going back to about 2003 due to school, and [...]
Tis the season for eating, visiting, and giving, among other things. I probably should say more about the festive season, but I’m feeling a bit drowsy right now. I guess it might be the feasting and the hiking today. On that note I’ll get straight [...]
Ermmm, cold and frosty today in BC. I might even go so far as to say, what the hell is going on. For undisclosed reasons I was over in Vancouver yesterday and today with my significant other. It has been good to see some of [...]
Today, a bit of a departure from the usual weekend activities; a surf outing to Jordan River. Holy crap, when was the last time I tried to surf? Ummm, I think maybe sometime in 2007. Lame? Yes, but I have my reasons, namely recovery from [...]
