With my new raisin toast hero status (bestowed upon me by Michelle – I have no idea what it means), I’ve been seeking out stupendous, no miraculous, no super-amazing things to do. Clearly, I had no choice but to ride my bike 90km on this [...]
It’s Sunday, the end of the weekend has arrived. I got in some decent mileage this week on the bike (about 280km), saw some interesting sights, and managed do some other stuff too. Since this is a road bike ride post I suppose it would [...]
Half of 300 is… 150. Today I rode a 150km loop that included part of Salt Spring Island. My usual response to questions like ‘how was it’ often tends towards the ‘it was alright’ or ‘it was adequate’; I feel fairly justified in saying that [...]
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 [...]
Given my lack of group riding during the last year, I am, not surprisingly, feeling a bit squirrelly riding my bike in groups. To help combat the squirrel, I headed out on another group ride this morning (that’s number two this week), this time a [...]
So far this week is going well in terms of the activities/exercise. Since I’m only two days in, maybe I shouldn’t get too excited. Tonight I managed to get my sh*t together and go on one of the local group rides. Sadly, I’m having a [...]
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 [...]
Ok, I’m supposed to be doing a 320km ride from Seattle to Portland on July 17. Based on today’s road ride of about 130km, I’m left thinking that 320km is going to be a damn long day in the saddle. More long rides on the [...]
Hee hee, I went for a road bike ride and it was sort of fast – well fast is kind of subjective I guess. 91km in 2h55 minutes including traffic lights etc. is fast by my standards right now. Maybe it was the slightly nicer [...]
I managed to get in a couple road bike rides this weekend — this is good. Also managed to squander a full day while also consuming a substantial volume of bacon, pancakes, eggs, and other stuff that needn’t be consumed in substantial volumes — this [...]
I don’t get it. For the last month and a half I have basically been a slack-ass with my bike riding, and yet the last two rides have been faster than any earlier in the year. For me this is highly illogical, given that I [...]
Sucking is not riding my bikes enough. Today was a 90km excursion on the Saanich Peninsula. I suppose anyone who looks a this blog might be thinking, “oh god another Saanich road ride posting.” Well too bad, it’s my friggin blog I’ll do what I [...]
