Ride 25 - Zipping Up

Ride 25 - 28 July 2019
Distance 26.2miles (Distance to date 423.5 miles)
Time 3hrs 18mins (Time to date 52hrs 26mins)

This ride felt good. The miles ridden / area covered was great and I managed to zip up a few patches of map. The best feeling (for me!).

While out on the ride, my phone was going crazy with notifications about friends' progress in Ironman Canada, so it was somewhat of a coincidental tribute that my ride came in at 26.2 miles; the distance of the run in an Ironman. I don't know how they do it, I was spent after this ride!

Random derelict car parts. Guys, take your ladies to see it, they'll love it!

I'm sure I've seen worse cars actually on the road in Victoria!

This one is pretty self explanatory, but just standing in front of it made me feel good!

Thanks Bill

Ride 45 - No More Waterfront to Ride

Ride 45 - 23 November 2019 Distance 31.3km (Distance to date 1451.5km) Time 2hrs 38mins (Time to date 111hrs 24mins) The end is firmly in sight! My rides tend to be pretty unplanned; I tend to head to an area, circle an area and then colour it in. This lack of planning has now left me with an east west corridor! The good news is, this corridor should be pretty simple to complete! Ride 44 to Date Ride 45 means I am now complete east of Shelborne, with downtown being the only sizeable chunk left to go. I've not saved downtown until last (as many people have assumed), in fact, quite the opposite; I have been putting it off as I'm dreading it! The ride was pleasant, finishing off oak bay. Sad to finish my last little bit of waterfront, as the waterfront rides are the ones I generally enjoy most. Deer command a lot more respect now they're 'tooled up' The 'Greatest Street Name in Victoria' award goes to............. The end o...

Biggest news in Victoria Right Now!?!?!?

OK, so the biggest news is actually a tragic story which broke all our hearts. But page A6 of the Times Colonist is a much nicer story to read!!!

.......and so it begins

Every year I set myself a challenge; these challenges have ranged from giving up meat, to forming a one man band and charity fundraising. This year the challenge is set; to cycle every single street in Victoria, British Columbia ....to add a little twist, I'll do the whole thing on a rental bike. Along the way, I plan to record things of interest I see, people I meet etc and update this blog with progress. Hopefully at the end I'll have a handy guide of things to see in Victoria BC (on two wheels). Hope you enjoy the journey!
