Ride 21 - Commuting to the Start

Ride 21 - 4 July 2019
Distance 29.9 miles (Distance to date 341.0 miles)
Time 3hrs 47mins (Time to date 42hrs 11mins)

 As you can see, this ride had quite a commute to the start line!

Took a day off work today.  Spent the morning catching up on some stuff and had the whole afternoon to go out exploring.  It was quite distressing to waste 30mins trying to find my phone holder and then another 10mins fashioning one from electrical tape!

 Not much to report on this ride, it was a grind!  Did see a romp of baby Otters in the river, but I didn't get a picture, such is life.

Ride 11/12 - Bang Bang

Ride 11/12 - 12-13 May 2019 Distance 24.1 miles (Distance to date 212.1 miles) Time 3:09 (Time to date 24:11) To help me keep on top of things, I've combined these rides.  I got busy, rode three days on the bounce and have been struggling to catch up since (I have a life away from exploring Victoria too!). v Both rides were in the evening and local to my home.  Being out in the evening was a nice change and there were plenty of deer roaming the street at dusk. Green Bike in it's natural habitat More Deer.....said nobody in Gordon Head Points of Interest..... Sea View Bench   (48.494665, -123.328541) Beach access is at a premium in Gordon Head.  I found this little used private bench at the end of a cul de sac.  It's a little overgrown, but if you just want to take in a view in private, this would be a great spot.

Ride 48 - Final Ride!!

Ride 48 - 15 Dec 2019 Distance 25.1 km (Distance to date 1532.7 km) Time 2hrs 11mins (Time to date 108hrs 12mins) Put a fork in me........I'm DONE!!! Since February 2019, I have dreamed of this ride.  I'd had all sorts of thoughts about how to end and how I'd mark the occasion.  In the end, I planned nothing.  With my wife heavily pregnant, the rides were becoming a burden and adding a celebration just didn't seem fair. In the end, fate gave me an ending; albeit a simple one.  The final metre of my final street was this................... The cycling gods delivered The last ride was a cold one, with the night's frost melting away as the sun hit. On the way there I also achieved a bucket list level accomplishment!!! Being early meant that downtown wasn't busy, great for a cyclist wanting to meander about looking for his last few random finds of this adventure. St Andrew's Presbyterian Church Just a blue cow.  I...

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
