Ride 15 - The Ridelet

Ride 15 - 21 May 2019
Distance 5.8 miles (Distance to date 233.4 miles)
Time 0:42 (Time to date 28:42)

 It was a beautiful Tuesday night.  My son was put to bed and I had a niggle, that I'd not ridden Blenkinsop to complete the area west of Mt Doug!



 To fix that niggle, I headed out for a ridelet.  Like a ride, just much smaller.
The sea view passing through Mt Doug

Blenkinsop is a beautiful area, a very farmy area right on the outskirts.  Farms give good area / miles ratios!
You can almost smell the high ratio
Points of Interest.....

 Putting Green (48.503001, -123.355453)

 Many No Exit streets have turning circles with a little traffic island.  But this one is the first one I have come across with a PUTTING GREEN included!  I would have stopped for a round, but I got some very unwelcome attention for taking pictures.
Great risks were taken to bring you this photo!

How many roads are there in Victoria?

So, before getting started, I'm going to make a guess of what I've taken on. The challenge is to cover every road in Victoria, I've taken 'Victoria' to mean Victoria and the surrounding areas / districts. So the municipality 'City of Victoria' has a total of 258km . Unfortunately, I've made my life difficult and included Esquimalt, Oak Bay and some of Saanich! Just a finger in the air here, but it looks like Victoria covers 1/4 of my area, so I'm looking at just over 1,000km.  On one of these: Jeepers

Ride 28 - Foul Bay

Ride 28 - 5 August 2019 Distance 24.1miles (Distance to date  481.6  miles) Time 2hrs 56mins (Time to date 59hrs 48mins) No idea how Foul Bay Rd got it's name ( until now!! ), but it's not foul and there is no Foul Bay in Victoria. Still it makes for a pleasant bit of Urban Onroading! Sometimes timing is everything Points of Interest..... Jumping Dog (48.436641, --23.317773) Just a statue of a jumping dog.  It made me smile! Woof!

Ride 46 - Press in Tow

Ride 46 - 1 December 2019 Distance 33.9km (Distance to date 1,485.4 km) Time 2hrs 43mins (Time to date 114hrs 7mins) I was joined on this ride by a journalist from the Times Colonist !! Got to start somewhere Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of me and Roxanne exploring the east side of James Bay together, but I do have proof for the doubters........... https://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/meet-the-cyclist-who-rode-every-victoria-street-often-twice-1.24039234 The stuff of nightmares Sadly the exploring was surprisingly bland, so not much to report.  I was expecting this area to be a little treasure trove.  Maybe I was just chatting too much Not as comfortable as it looks Points of Interest..... No points of interest
