Victoria on a Bike

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 27 - 4 August 2019 Distance 18.5miles (Distance to date  457.5  miles) Time 2hrs 21mins (Time to date 56hrs 52mins) Not sure if I'm just becoming desensitized or the ride are becoming more boring! Not much to report here!  I'm still really enjoying the exploring (especially the early morning rides), just don't seem to be finding much of interest to report!  Admittedly, looking back on my earlier rides, there a lot of stuff that wouldn't make the cut now. This did amuse me; found these in neighbouring gardens; a crocodile and a crocodile's victim! Points of Interest..... Dragon House (48.47131, -123.39116) I don't know whether they're real or not, but this house has a number of badass dragons out the front.  Don't blame me if you get burnt.

Ride 26 - 1 Aug 2019 Distance 15.3.miles (Distance to date 438.9 miles) Time 2hrs 5mins (Time to date 54hrs 31mins) It's August, the year is slipping away from me!! A pleasant evening bike ride, but not much of note in Saanich once again.  The mural is worth a look though! With 7/12 of the year gone, I'm panicking a little as I clearly don't have 7/12 of the map covered and the good weather is going to end soon! As of 1 August 2019 Points of Interest..... Forest Mural (48.4667, -123.36156) I have ridden, drove and walked past this 100s times without seeing it.  For once, I stopped and looked and it is AWESOME!! Open your eyes Richard
