Wow it’s been a while without any blogging, exercise, photos, or other cool stuff. These last couple months of house hunting, research, and buying have been a bit of a drag. That’s not to say I didn’t appreciate the challenge that came with various fixit [...]
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 [...]
I went out for a nice ride today with Michelle, Alison, and Catherine on the Lochside Trail. I had been looking forward to checking out the famous Lochside Trail pigs again and I was not disappointed. As usual it was good to be out on [...]
I thought pretty hard about going skiing or snowboarding today, but decided to stick around town instead. Seems like its been ages since I rode a bike, and in reality it has been a pretty long while. Was it a Monty Python sketch involving some [...]
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 [...]
Did a nice road ride today amidst the falling leaves and whatnot on the Saanich Peninsula. I was on my cyclocross bike (road bike with fatter tires) so I decided I would visit the somewhat famous Lochside Trail pigs. Generally, I don’t see these beasts [...]
By the title perhaps you are thinking this will be a feel good (for me) report about how I totally dominated on my East Sooke ride today. Unfortunately, no… East Sooke, as it often has in the past, totally dominated me. At least I didn’t [...]
It seems like I haven’t been doing much road riding lately. Maybe I’ve been feeling that since the Seattle to Portland ride has come and gone, my season has come to a close and its time to start putting on blubber for the winter. That [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
