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 [...]
It’s been almost a year since I took the plunge and committed to doing/organizing a hike every Wednesday night. Given what I would describe as a short attention span and sometimes fleeting interest in things, I’m kind of proud that, with the exception of maybe [...]
Another weekend has come and gone… I guess that’s what they do. Shockingly, I did not ride a bike this weekend, yet I don’t feel particularly guilty about it. I did do some work today, at a cost of 40 in-my-mind lashings. A hike at [...]
Summer is coming right? Apparently it’s hot elsewhere in the country; I guess maybe it’s a balance thing, i.e. it needs to be cool here if it’s hot somewhere else. Oh well, enough moaning about the weather – hiking is good in pretty much anything. [...]
It’s settled, at least in my mind it is… I’m a masochist. The reason is this… I like mountain biking, but for all of the last five years or so I have chosen to ride a hardtail cross-country bike contrary to what seems like a [...]

Bad weather was in the forecast for tonight, but it was all good for an hour and a bit while we hiked around parts of Beacon Hill Park and Holland Point Park. It’s been a while since I did a hike in jeans with 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 [...]
It has been many months since I last visited Mt. Wells. Tonight my Wednesday hike cohorts and I headed up the mountain, if you can call it that, for some fine views and I guess a workout. No, I’m not talking about boot camp at [...]
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 [...]
