Road Ride – Lower Saanich – If There Is Such a Thing as Lower Saanich

Road Ride – Lower Saanich – If There Is Such a Thing as Lower Saanich

December 17, 2011:

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 [...]

Saturday Morning Photos – Gorge Waterway – Victoria

Saturday Morning Photos – Gorge Waterway – Victoria

October 23, 2011:

Database error! Failed insertions into activity table. That’s computer dork code that I am using to describe my lack of activity and whatnot recently. Managed to get out for a photo walk today, which was kind of fun. Had to cut it short when the [...]

Wednesday Hike – Goldstream Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Goldstream Park – Victoria, BC

September 14, 2011:

Wow, it’s practically Fall. Wow, the daylight is getting shorter. Wow, how many more times might I use the word ‘wow’? This week’s Wednesday outing was a nice sort of meandering around Goldstream Park near Victoria. For an after work hike, Goldstream is a little [...]

Walk Home From Work Photos

Walk Home From Work Photos

September 2, 2011:

Decided to take the slow way home after work today, namely walking. Fought off the urge to use some Starbucks card credit and wound my way back towards home on Rockland Avenue. The most notable stop was Government House. Along the way I took some [...]

Wednesday Hike – Macaulay Point – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Macaulay Point – Victoria, BC

August 31, 2011:

You never know for sure what you’ll see on a hike. Tonight’s hike was at Macaulay Point, a place I have been to only once before. The highlight of the hike was definitely seeing an orca very close to shore. It didn’t do any TV [...]

Wednesday Hike – Partridge Hills – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Partridge Hills – Victoria, BC

August 24, 2011:

Somewhat hot, somewhat humid, but all in all an excellent night for some sort of activity. Since it’s Wednesday, it’s hike night and the destination was once again the Partridge Hills out near Durrance Lake. As with previous outings we started from the Durrance Lake [...]

Standup Paddle Outing on the Gorge in Victoria

Standup Paddle Outing on the Gorge in Victoria

August 20, 2011:

5pm choices: A) sit around at home probably wasting time on the interwebs; B) go for a bike ride; or C) go standup paddle boarding. Choice C it was. For me this was a bit of an unknown since I had never done option C [...]

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Royal Roads University – Victoria, BC

August 17, 2011:

Not that long ago we did a Wednesday hike at Royal Roads University, on the exact same route we did tonight. When it’s good, why not repeat it? It’s late summer in Victoria, so things are looking pretty brown around town, but not in the [...]

Bike Ride – Lochside Trail to Blenkinsop Lake – Victoria, BC

August 16, 2011:

Went out for a relaxing evening bike ride up the Lochside Trail here in Victoria with Sheena tonight. We made it as far as Blenkinsop Lake before turning around due to fading light. Bike and foot traffic was pretty light on the trail tonight, not [...]

Wednesday Hike – Willows Beach / Cattle Point / Uplands Park – Victoria, BC

August 10, 2011:

Very nice Wednesday hike in Oak Bay tonight with a surprising variety of wildlife (crows, seal, seagulls, engaged couple, etc.). We started in Estevan Village and headed toward Willows, then it was off to Cattle Point, and finally Uplands Park. There was some great sailboat [...]

XC Ride – Hartland – Victoria, BC

XC Ride – Hartland – Victoria, BC

August 6, 2011:

Apparently a fancy new bike is not enough to make up for a neglected bike engine, and by that I mean me. To put it bluntly the trails at Hartland have successfully destroyed me on my last three rides out there. Prior to that (this [...]

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

Wednesday Hike – Francis King Park – Victoria, BC

August 3, 2011:

Kind of hot today by Victoria standards. I can usually tell by the amount of sweat I generate on the bike commute home from work, or in the case of today the walk from the bus stop home. There was some sweat today. On the [...]
